What is the purpose of this column? There are SO many relevant questions but so few “qualified” responses! Take the VERY important “remove the smell” mentioned in the article. “Fortunately” it says “you can use a number of homemade concoctions”.

So, WHAT ARE THEY? Only the retail product is linked to more info. Pshaw!

OK, gotta go now and look for “how to remove pet urine traces in the home” but I will return and share any constructive results.

In reply to Elizabeth Ann Campbell. I have a 2 1/2 year old Saluki who just stopped peeing in the house. Hoorah, I didn't think this would ever happen. Knock on Wood. Certain sighthounds seem to grow up slower and are known to do this. Keep the faith. ti may still happen for you and your dog.

I have a 4 year old teacup yorkie that is pad trained. Since we have been home in quarantine, he has started to pee in another area (not on his pad). Is this because he is confused as to why we are home all the time? How do I stop this behavior?

I take my dogs out early in the morning upon getting up. One refuses to go and even tries to run back in the house. I leave him out for about 5 to 10 minutes and he runs back in and unloads his bladder in my living room. He has been doing this frequently even though the old carpet is gone and new hard surface flooring is down. Same spot. And a new subfloor is under it. He is also licking his private area a lot. His urine does not smell strong. I’m so frustrated. Tired of cleaning up puddles. He is taken out numerous times to go outside but for some reason prefers to go in the house. He used to go outside all the time. I even use piddle pads in the spot my other dog uses during the night but this little guy prefers the bare floor.

I inherited my mom’s 12 year old Pomeranian/toy poodle, Honey. I’m so frustrated with the bad habits of her squatting to pee when she feels like it in the house. She will even go to the dog door & pee in front of the door. Other times she’ll go thru the dog, pee on the deck or go down to the yard. My other 2 dogs go outside all the time, don’t have a problem with them. My mom trained her on the dog pads & she had a dog door, so when Honey decides to go, she’ll pee where she wants. She is spayed too. How can I get her to stop this?

We have a to year old Saluki and it has been a nightmare house training her. She barks to get out some nites and if we don’t get up and let her out she pees on the floor. We have taken her to the vet and she has no physical problems. We know she can hold it cause when the weather is bad sometimes she does not go our for 12 hours or so and she does not pee in the house. I think it is her way of being mad at us for not letting her out. We have rabbits that she chases at nite. She is not crate trained and sad to say she is very spoiled. She has been spayed. Had dogs all our lives and never had a dog that pees In the house. Usually, if they have an accident they are ashamed but not this girl. She doesn’t give a hoot. Now we have to get new waterproof flooring that we don’t really like. Geesh how can dogs run out lives like this? I don’t think anyone answers these comments but I guess it is good to talk about it.

My 1 year old mix breed is peeing in the house very few hours. never pees in his crate so I know he can hold it in. Not sure what to do or the best product to eliminate the smell to deter going back there to pee
