Answer 1

Once an animal had urinated or defecated in a spot you have to blot up as much of the urine as you can (never use water as that spreads the scent), or clean up the feces, and then use an enzyme cleaner specifically for pet stains on it. Follow the directions EXACTLY.

The reasons for that is because even if you can't smell it, animals can smell even the tiniest amount left and if they do, they will use that spot again.

If your dog is going in the house there could be many reasons.

It may have went there once and established a habit thereafter.
It's not being let out enough to relieve itself.
It has an infection.
It's old and it's difficult for it negotiate a stairway or a long walk.
For urination alone it might be marking it's territory particularly if it isn't spaded or neutered.

Never leave your clothes or shoes laying on the floor or in a basket that a cat or dog can get at as your scent is taken by them to be your calling card which to them is a place they should then leave their calling card which is urine. Make sure closet doors are kept shut.

If your animal has been doing this awhile, you might have to retrain yourself with your dog to establish a toilet routine. Consistency is the key.

Answer 2

Have you heard of dog walking and back yards?
Seriously, the animals go for the smell in that room because it is familiar to them. Try cleaning that area in the room with either a scented carpet cleaner or a scented liquid form of a cleaner designed for that type of flooring. You have to rid the area of the room of the familiar "pet" smell, not only for your sake but to prevent the animals of going to the toilet where it is familiar to them.
Good luck.

Answer 3

Mover her dodo to the location you desire.

show the puppy what you did and treat the dog like it just did a trick right.

'Good boy ooooo your soo cute muah'

If that doesn't work, you can place an larg object in the spot the pup chooses the most.

If neither of those two worked, I woud find a scent the little guy hated and fill the room with it until he finds a new spot.

and if that doesn't work, call the dog whisperer

Answer 4

We have a chihuahua who kept going in one of our rooms, too. We did two things: let her out more often, and got a baby gate to keep her out of her favorite room. Then she would pick another favorite room, but then we would baby gate her out of that room. I think it got too confusing for her, because now she just prefers to go outside (thankfully!).

Answer 5

ughh...it's a dog. Did you train the puppy with potty puppy pads? Time the potty after eating and take the dog out every time after it eats.

Answer 6
