- Puppies and senior pets are known for having the occasional accident, but it can happen to any dog. That's why it's important for all owners to know how to stop a dog from peeing on carpet. Read the full guide here: topdogtips.com/how-to-stop-a-...
If your dog is already house trained but continues to pee on your carpet, it's probably because the smell of urine is still there. Even if you can't smell anything, your dog probably can. A dog's sense of smell is 10,000-100,000 times greater than ours!
"Making natural pet repellent is an option, too. Most dogs don't like the smell of citrus, including lemons, limes and grapefruit. You can make a homemade dog repellent by adding 2-3 tablespoons of citrus juice to a spray bottle filled with water. You could also use 15-20 drops of citrus essential oil in place of the fresh citrus juice."

I didn't know about the enzymes! This makes wayy more sense! Very educational
My female Maltese is pad trained and uses the pad every day and knows to use it. Out of the blue she will pee on my runner in the hallway. Sometimes I think it’s spite but I’ve been told that’s not possible. I disagree. When I take her off the bed at night and put her in her bed I’ve seen her run to runner, pee and run under the bed. She knows.
Why not have her sleep in her bed, in her crate? Not to reprimand, but so she gets use to sleeping in there, and less accidents when you’re not watching l.That sounds like a baaaad doggy! 😆
I agree with you. I know when my dog is not happy with me and that’s when she pees on the rug.
It’s stress peeing and it’s not out of spite. They are stressed because they wasn’t given what they want. They usually just stop and pee somewhere random even if they were just let outside 10 minutes ago.
Your dog is so cute, listening to you, intently.
It is so amazing. This dog is actually sitting and listening to what she has to say. Incredible
Hi ,thanks for the tips ,so is the lemon juice safe for your carpet ,in terms of changing colors ?
Thank you this really helps!!
Good information
Thank you!!
I have a rug on tiles . The dog will always use the rug and not the tiles.
He hates going out if it's been raining.
He was good, but now he is 16 years old and getting a bit naughty.
Tomorrow I shampoo again. And try your suggestions.
Much appreciated, Suicidal 😮from Western Australia.
what is the breed of the dog in the thumbnail adopted a german shepherd mix pup recently and we don't know what the mix is but she has a very similar face to the dog in the thumbnail
where is the list of enzymatic commercial products you recommend?
Hi. I have a question regarding the apartment I moved into. The leasing agent said that there was no pets in here before I moved in. but I think they had one here incognito. There's a really strong sweet, perfume-type smell. It's along some of the baseboards and intwo corners of the bedroom. I'm trying to get out the perfume sweet smell. they were maybe trying to mask it? Do you have any suggestions as to what they could have possibly used? Thank you.
Every room in my house has a carpet, every room, not hallways.
So I have a question, I have a dog that marks locations especially on carpet edges. We’re constantly pulling out the area rug in the living room and replacing it with a brand new one and within a day marks it again. I need a solution so that when I replace the rug, after we clean up the floor which we use natures miracle in the mop water, that I can put on the brand new rug that would deter him from marking on it?
Side note, all 3 Westi’s are mature and house trained, they have 24/7 access to the backyard, the backyard is picked up at least twice a week if not more. The only issue we have with the male Westie.
I have a large bottle of Nature’s Miracle on hand for any mistakes. As he’s gotten older, he has made less and less mistakes and the bottle is still 2/3rds full.
Hi good morning may I ask where did you buy the bottle
You can get Nature’s Miracle in any pet store but I found the best price at Walmart. I first bought a small spray bottle of the product and then the largest bottle in order to refill the smaller spray bottle. Most dogs, including puppies, hate to make “mistakes” and I noticed how embarrassed he was when he did, so I never scolded him but made certain that no scent was around to attract him. He’s over two years’ old now and must say, I have no problems and never a bad odor in the home. Hope this helped.
@@marthaneenan7305 thank you!!!!
How often do I have to apply vinegar/ rubbing alcohol
Tried vinegar and water and lemon juice on my rugs but my dog keeps peeing on them didn't work how do I get urine smell out of my floors tile and wood floors 3:04
I put baking soda and fabric softener with hot water in a spray bottle and shake it well till dissolved then soak spot!
Vinegar worked with my dogs, thanks ☺️
Do they avoid the area all together? Or do they simply not pee there anymore?
Where is that dog bed from
How does this help you stop the dogs from going potty on rugs? These are great tips on cleaning, but I have an older dog I’m having to care for for my father since he’s ill and she’s going potty outside and then coming in and going on my floor.
As she mentioned, dogs usually do not like the smell of vinegar, rubbing alcohol, or lemon juice thus, potentially deter them from peeing in the same spot. However, none are guaranteed to stop them. With an older dog it is especially challenging because it may be several reasons they are peeing inside. One other thing you can do is try & limit water consumption later in the day. If you make drinking a timely routine, sometimes you can more accurately determine when they need to potty. If you had pets or, still do since your Father moved in, they could be marking their new territory over your pets. Best of luck!
My dog is potty trained to go in the backyard. But during winters and rains, she has found a spot in home on the carpet. I will use your video to get rid of the smell from carpet. She is also trained to pee on pad but ofcourse prefers the carpet lol. What are your thoughts on pee pad?
This wouldn’t get rid of the smell. There are other high end products that penetrate the carpet fibers and cancel out the enzymes your dog leaves behind in the carpet. This video is just a temporary fix to deter them from peeing in an area…
Hi. Mine too, idk why! she's been potty trained for one year and now she's being rebellious.
I took my puppy from a dog foster home about a year ago. I love him to bits; he has a great personality, and I feel that he loves our family so much. BUT he poops and pees in the house A LOT... So, leaving home is always a challenge for us. My husband and I were thinking about taking him to 'doggy school', but then again, it’s extremely expensive, and the nearest 'doggy school' is far away from us. Maybe you have some advice? THANK YOU!!!!
You should create a schedule with your dog on taking them out. If you do want training tips you could go to the channel "It's me or the Dog".
Get a crate, I have 3 dogs I crate them at night, and when I go out as I’d have no house left, I’ve changed my rugs like you wouldn’t believe, I’m gonna try this vinegar see what. Happens as they pee in the house so they. Are banned to the kitchen and I have a massive garden, I was at my wits end, chihuahuas are the worst to potty train even thoe I take them out and go in the garden with them, and I love them to bits!
Get a crate and also giving him access to outdoors to pee pee or walking him outside why would you get a poor dog just to be alone?
@donna barden, I tried crate training my dog when I first got her as a puppy. As soon as I put her in, she would FREAK OUT! Screaming & jumping around to try to get out until she would get so upset, she would have diarrhea & then continue to jump around in that, covering herself as well as the crate with excrement. She’s generally ok in the house. She stopped chewing random things now that she’s older & we mostly have everything under control. I have mostly hardwood floors, but she doesn’t signal to go outside & if she has to go, she finds one of the few rugs (mats at entrances, mostly). I’m not sure how to fix any of this. I don’t have money for professional training & a crate is clearly not an option. To prevent accidents at night, I take her out right before bed & as soon as we get up, but I also make her wear washable & reusable doggy diapers overnight. Usually, they are dry in the morning, however there are still times they are wet in the morning. Any advise at all??
@Rachele Wilken
I'm not sure what method you used to crate train your pup, but it's a process that can take a month or more. If you just put them in there and close the door they're naturally going to freak out.
This video explains how to clean up and mask odors, not how to stop the behaviour
Bad video
I tried vinegar and lemon juice on my rugs so my dog quits peeing on them but didn't work she still peeing on them and now my tile and wood floors smells like dog urine in my house how do I get rid of the smell used everything get rid of the smell
Can you please send the link again I did not see it
If I put my dog in her crate over night she won’t use the bathroom in it. If I leave her out she pees at the base of my stairs right on the carpet every time. This didn’t start until she hit 10 years old. It’s become a problem and I’ve never had to keep her in a crate overnight until recently.
Have very small Chihuahua and have lifted ALL area rugs to a very cold tile flooring.
The only thing I have down is a small blanket on which I keep by couch for my aching feet.
She pees on this relentlessly, every time I get up and forget to hide it underneath couch.😢
What to do, please help! 🙏
Thank you.
Get a new rug & start training immediately. The first time dog goes to pee, sternly reprimand, pick up & take outside. Put the old rug out there so he/she gets the idea this is where to go. They are peeing relentlessly because the enzymes are surely & permanently ingrained on that rug.
Thank you…she finally got the idea!
She doesn’t want to disappoint her Mama anymore! 🥰
Teach how to not pee on carpet but she’s has no carpet 😂
How often do we spray the carpet, once a week or what?
Also, we are to assume you have carpet in other areas of your house? Because there’s no carpet where you are at. Rugs and carpets are very different.
But, thanks for the tips. I hope it works for me!
I have a join in hallway on my apartment to my my door and and my neighbours have American pitbulls , they’re not the kind of people you can confront or tell authorities about,
However by me spraying vinegar on the hallway carpet has really helped,
Of course you can call. Tell animal control your concerns & they can set up a call to your neighbors where the city is doing a check on all animals to see if they are registered without ever knowing you called.
Hi, just wondering about Borax? Have you or anyone else used that?
Thank you
I would say use baking soda because borax is more harmful to inhail
I teach my dog to pee in a spot in my house. But when i opened the door of my living room she's peeing on a carpet. I just want her to go and pee at the same spot whenever she needs. How can i do that? She's 8 month old .
This was just hot to remove the smell from the carpet. How do I get the dog to stop
I'm puppy potty training. If I do this, do I need to do it as she grows up? Or will these ideas train her not to do it if I stop using them?
It will train them to always go outside. Good job training as a puppy. It can take a great deal of patience but, it will work!
can i mix both lemon and vinegar to make the spray? (including water)
I would try the vinegar alone first, then the lemon juice alone. Sometimes mixing, although seems twice as potent, can block one or the other out. It’s important to remember, dogs ability to smell is thousands of times stronger than ours. If you take a bottle of vinegar & let your dog sniff then, do same with lemon juice, see which one they have a bigger reaction too. Good luck!
@@LineKing51 oh tysm!
Just don’t mix alcohol with vinegar. You could kill yourself or harm your dog that way.
I have a daschund mix and he's 5 and totally housetrained. But recently I bought area rugs for my bdrm and my 2 girls bedrooms and he keeps peeing on all of them. I use "Resolve urine destroyer" and he never pees over that spot again but he just pees on a different spot. I don't know how to stop this or why he's doing it
Jealousy, I have a 5 year old chihuahua that is jealous and pisses on the rug at night, and steals my kids food, I am about to duct tape a frigging diaper onto her and call it a day.
If I spray my carpet with any of these products that dogs avoid, will it prevent them from going into those rooms entirely? Or will it just make them not want to pee there anymore? My maltese pees in my room but he also sleeps in there. I want him to go in the room but not pee!
Yeah, was wondering that too
I tried this one, vinegar smell disappear after a couple of days
Has anyone had success from this? I have a four month old puppy that pees on the carpet every 10 to 15 minutes whether we take her outside or not. Our whole house has carpet so can’t see if that is the issue
How’s it going? I have a 3 month old lab he poops outside it’s the peeing that’s the problem he pees on the puppy pads but my friend told me not to do that to watch him like a hawk and if he squats carry/ run outside for him to pee puppies pee every 15 minutes after drinking water 1-2 hours pooping they poop 2-4 times a day & pee more than 8 for sure he has pee accidents inside sometimes but I’m learning
After leaving that comment I took her to the vet to see if she had a uti causing the issue. She didn’t.
She was spending her time in a fenced off area to keep her out of trouble and the vet suggested to keep it open and give her free roam and surprisingly it did work and she stopped weeing as regularly over the next few months.
She’s now 6 months and lasts 3/4 hours now before needing to go.
Good luck!
Not on the rug, man
I put vinegar and lemon juice together sprayed it all over my carpets and my dogs ran in their house they finally come out I’m going to update and see if they pee on anything I’ll let y’all know I got chihuahuas and they love to pee on my rugs 😡 no matter how many pee pads are put down
Update:
It only worked for about an hour or 2 after that I guess the smell wears off and they continued to pee on my decor rugs frustrating
@@Paintmerosered thank you for the update
@@Sometimesijust993 I still haven’t found a solution to this ongoing problem. They are now using my couch I am infuriated I have a microfiber BRIGHT RED couch. I’ve moved their cage into my bedroom now it’s frequent accidents on my carpet but cleaning my couch wasn’t easy so I’ll take the carpet being ruined over a couch. I wish I had the answer. I have puppy pad holders throughout the house I have 2 of them that way the pads won’t stick to my floor they pick and choose when to use them 🤦♀️ I keep treats stocked I’m hoping it will eventually stick in their heads that the pads are the only place to go!!
@@Paintmerosered my situation is that my yorkie is pan trained. Almost like a kitty litter but for dogs. And she is two years old going on 3 in a couple months. She has been SO good with the pan ever since she was 3 months old. That is, until my nana decided to get herself a yorkie as well. Whenever we bring my nanas dog over my house, she pees on the floor next to the pan. So ever since that started happening, guess what else had started? My dog starts smelling the scent and pees on the floor as well. The RUG to be exact. And now there are spots every where and we just had the rug cleaning lady over a couple months ago. Vinegar has not been helping
@@Sometimesijust993 I know what you mean. Yeah, I had my dog trained and then he got a uti and I couldn’t keep waking up to take him so I pad trained him. We got a new dog having the same problem she’s learning the pad now but not really she is still a puppy so it’s hard and he’s wanting to mark over her. It’s now happened on my microfiber couch and I am really having an issue with them. Ugh.
That's about cleaning - not stopping.
My dog does it on my bed i have had enough
All I can say is, don’t let them in your bedroom any longer. Otherwise, you’ll need to train them.
How do I get my puppy to stop BITING my carpet!! He won’t stop🥲
I don't know if I'm late to reply but I seen my uncle put Tabasco sauce on the corners of his carpet because he had the same problem with his chihuahuas. After that they stopped biting and chewing on his carpet. Though just to be safe prob do more research to avoid something unsafe or unwanted.
How about hydrogen peroxide?
that may bleach your ur rug
I did vinegar, and she walked right back there and peed!🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Oop-
LMFAOOOOOO 💀💀
@@chinaleone ☠💀
🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
😂
Idk which one of my two dogs keeps peeing on my carpet but I’m already ready to surrender them both if it doesn’t stop
It’s freakin hard :(
I know it’s frustrating my front room smells like piss no matter what my dog pees everywhere
@@MissHinds09 💀💀💀🤣🤣
@@lordieb5668 lol you want him? You can have him for free 🤣
@@MissHinds09 oh my goodness…he’s so adorable 🥰. Mine look like show dogs too and 4 months old . I only dream of the days waking up and walking on my hardwood floors barefoot without stepping into piss or cow / dog dung (they’re already 25lbs and it’s huge piles 🥲) . I put diapers on they manage to get them off. Love is unconditional I guess 🤣🤣🤣 I need help lol. They are brother and sister they are so beautiful but I stay cleaning. I can go on and on, we’ll get through this 🤞🏻
You're not showing how to train the dog at all, you're basically advertising cleaning products. Bravo.
