Toilet Training

[Mana]

One thing I'm sure you'll have come across in your trawling through millions of dog training sites - but make sure what you're cleaning the carpet with does not have ammonia in it - the smell draws them back. I've also heard that bleach can draw them back too...

It's disheartening sometimes when you think they've finally got it - but she'll get there in the end!

Today was a bit of a disaster for us as the adult male lab who's meant to be the really good example to the pups got freaked out by the thunderstorm and left diarreah everywhere... groan, and YUK!!

Thanks Mana!!

I've been cleaning it using various cleaners, then dabbing vinegar over the spot- as i have heard that vinegar will get rid of any attractive smell. I'm not too worried about that though because she doesn't tend to keep going back to the same wrong spot to pee, she just seems to pee anywhere whenever she feels like it.

She'll go in the laundry when I take her there, usually, but I'm frustrated because she won't find her own way there when she needs to go at unexpected times. But she definitely does know her way from anywhere in the house to the laundry, cos she goes there to have drinks all the time, halfway through playing and stuff.

I dont get it?
