No matter what I use to clean or extract the carpets, my cocker spaniel still sneaks to the same spot in the living room and urinates. I have tried crate training and I have a doggie door, so she can go outside as she pleases. She has no problem pooping outside, and she only urinates in the same places that have been soiled before. I have tried all sorts of neutralizers and cleaners, but nothing seems to remove it completely. Help!

    Nature’s Miracle – the only one without a huge flowery scent of it’s own, and in the 7 years I’ve been using it, has never taken the color out of the carpet or upholstery (like the cheaper neutralizer did. grrrr)

    You can also put it in the laundry along with the soap to wash bedding and towels.

    try oxi clean that’s what I used for my cat. You may have to repeat it until all the odor comes out but it really works wonders and can be used other places in your home.

    First, part of it may just be habit. If possible, try placing furniture or something over the areas so she can’t get to them.
    Have you tried Nature’s Miracle? I haven’t used it personally, but it gets high recommendations from those who have.
    I use "Out!" which I found at Kroger’s and WalMart. It is an enzyme cleaner which purportedly actually digests the urine or other material. It seems to work great, even with cat pee. It comes in a white sprayer bottle with a hot pink and yellow label with a drawing of a cat and a dog holding their noses.
    Good luck–this is the hardest part of owning dogs, I think!

    I used Pet’s Friend stain and odor remover. It worked well. Just soak up the urine and spray it on and it doesnt smell. Also, for stains you can spray a little more and scrub lightly to remove it.

    Spray LOTS and LOTS of Lysol aerosol directly on to the stain, as though it were a liquid, let sit for a couple of minutes, then blot the heck out of it with white paper towels, until the paper towel will pick up no more liquid. I have tried everything, and this works best for me–especially on old urine stains.

    vinegar is good, but nature’ miracle is wonderful. smells better and i think it cleans better.

    cocker spaniels can be stubborn about potty training too.

    Spot Shot works as does vinager water. The vinager helps with the odor of urine and the Spot Shot works with the number 2 stains. There are several alternatives but ultimately it is up to you. Be sure to rub her nose in it and tell her firmly (without going overboard, striking a puppy is a huge step back) that it is a ‘no-no’. She should get the idea fairly quickly. Happy training!

    Make sure you use a cleaner that does not have ammonia in it, it actually attracts the animal back to the same spot.
    Consider buying a bissel little green clean machine, the small ones run around 40 to 50 bucks, well worth the money, when you have a pet.

    Start taking your dog out every half an hour and praise with treats when they do go outside. Keep an eye on them, they will want to go to the bathroom after playing or running around.
    Some animals mark their territory, if this is happening then you have to keep an eye on your dog and as soon as it starts sniffing around, take it outside. Again praise with treats.

    House training is one of the hardest things to teach, but with patience and persistence, you can do it.

    Nature’s Miracle is the only thing that’s worked well for me. Can be found online or at Petsmart. Good luck!
