I have 2 miniature dachshunds and they are both 4 years old. I previously lived in an up stairs apartment so they are trained to go potty on puppy pads. They never missed and never tried to go potty any where else except where they were supposed to. Now that I have moved they have been trying to go in locations where there is not even a puppy bad near by. I have used the same training techniques that I used previously to train them and I feel like they have had plenty of time to adjust. I did move into a duplex so they might smell the old tenant’s dog's accidents but I have used the vacuum powder and all of the repellent/cleaners that you can buy at Pet Co. Do you have any suggestions or input?

You are missing the signs. They obviously need to go out more than they are. Back up and start over..... when they wake up, after they eat, after they play, when they wake up....etc..etc

new carpet. If the spots from the previous dogs were not treated properly then they can still smell them. Since the smell has been there so long the only way to get it completely out is new carpet.

Miniature Dachshunds are high-strung and nervous. They probably have not yet adjusted to their new surroundings. Talk to your vetrinarian and see if he/she has any suggestions.

As they say **** happens. The only thing that you can do is to take them out as soon as they indicate any urgency.
