How do I keep my dog from urinating on my carpet?

My dog goes to the bathroom in the same spots on the carpet. She does this even after she has been let outside.I've tried Nature's Miracle and other products from Petsmart. I guess I could try the OxiClean stuff and see how that works. I don't want to replace the carpet if I don't have to.

Have you tried urinating on her when she does this? she will soon get the message! lolSeriously there is a technique for this. When she goes to the toilet, you need to shout once "no" and then physically move her outside. Do this until shes gets the message. When she goes to the toilet outside, praise her and give her a treat!That should do it. It takers time but if you give in and put something where she pees, she will not stop, you need to reward and punish animals. They learn very quickly that way!

you have to clean it really well!!!! if not she will think it is okay to pee there. She is probably just marking territory. the spot she pees in is like a toilet to her

Did you clean the carpet with a special cleaner? Your local pet store has cleaners that are just made for urine and it will get the smell out so the dog won't go in the same spot. Check with your local pet store.

She has marked that spot with her scent.Go to Petco or petsmart and buy naturals miracle for ferrets(it's the strongest)and clean the spot.Also don't talk to your dog while you are cleaning up put her in a different room she will see even scolding as attention

I know this doesn't answer the question as asked, but if you get rid of the carpet and replace it with wood or laminate, the dog will stop going in the same spot. That is what we had to do. I think they are attracted back to the same place by the smell of previous "episodes".

Okay there are many reasons why a dog might urinate on the carpet. If your dog is a puppy you have to remember that it takes almost four months for them to take full control of their bladder. Also, there is something called submissive urination. This is something a puppy or even an older dog does as a sign that it is submitting to you. Like when you approach it the dog becomes very excited and urinates. Below is an excerpt from a website about submissive urination.Submissive urination is not an un-solvable problem, especially with a four month old puppy. Let's see if I can help. First it would be very helpful to know exactly what you've tried and hasn't worked. Training takes time to work, and if you were trying a bunch of different things, rather than sticking to one technique for a month or more, she may be confused. Especially since she is very sensitive.Here would be what I would suggest, which is I learned from the Denver Dumb Friends League. Both you and your husband and anyone else (if possible) who interacts with the dog should follow these guidelines. I would also suggest enrolling her in a training 1. Take your dog to the vet to rule out medical reasons for the behavior. 2. Keep greetings low-key. For now, don't pick her up. 3. Encourage and reward confident postures from her. She can't be urinating non-stop in your presence, so as often as you can, if she is with you or your husband and not urinating, praise her. (Positive reinforcement, which I am sure you are familiar with from your readings). 4. Give her an alternative to behaving submissively. For example, if she knows a few commands, have him "sit" or "shake" as you approach, and reward her for obeying. 5. Avoid approaching him with postures that she reads as dominant, for example: Avoid direct eye contact (this means looking at her back or tail instead, not in the eyes. You can do this standing up, you don't have to get down to her level). 6. If you do want to pet her or get down on her level, do so by bending at the knees rather than leaning over from the waist and ask others to approach her in the same way. 7. Pet her under the chin rather than on top of the head. Hands coming from above, especially if she was abused, can be viewed as threatening and scary. 8. Try to approach her from the side, rather than from the front, and/or present the side of your body to him, rather than your full front. You may feel funny sliding around at first, but this is only a temporary method while you are training her to get used to you, not get so excited/scared in your presence that she urinates. 9. Don't punish or scold her - this will only make the problem worse. You can continuing to housebreak her without scolding. HOUSEBREAKINGPut her on a regular schedule of feeding (twice or three times a day for a puppy) and going out to go to the bathroom, or walking her on a leash to her papers if you are paper training her. Lots of praise if she does it in the right spot. If it has been a while and she has not gone, I would suggest calling her into a safe room (like a kitchen with a child's gate) or into a crate where she can be until you can take her out under supervision, until you take her to her bathroom spot again. Only in the hour after she has just gone should she have full run of the house. If she does have an accident, you will have to just ignore it for now, but if you are consistent and supervising her, the chances of her having one are very small. This information is basically for puppies but there is also info on the site about house breaking older dogs.

You may want to talk to your vet & have her checked for physical problems. If she were a male I'd suspect "marking" but unless you've recently added another pet or person to your home, most females won't do that. Is she a nervous dog? Some little ones like chihuahuas have what I call nervous urination. They get excited & just go.

she's being territorial. go buy a product designed to remove the urine from the carpet to get rid of her scent and possibly another animals scent that was left behind. then keep an eye on her, anytime she even goes near that spot walk up to her and either gently pull her away or just stand there and step to her until she goes away, maybe even growl a little. basically, you want to tell her "this is my spot now" in dog language. it's the same if you've ever trained your dog to stay out of your bedroom, even if the door is open.

clean the carpet good,so the dog can't smell the urnin.if the dog smells it then it will think that thats the place to go.It worked with my dogs.

if she's going in the same spot it's because even after you clean it up she's still smell her own scent. Which to her makes it okay for her to pee there. I would recommend going to a petco or petsmart they have a carpet cleaner that will kill the scent that she's getting. I am fortunate to have a steam cleaner when i potty trained my dog i would steam clean the spots that she did her business on and it helped.
