I have two small eskimo spitz that i love dearly. They are really sweet dogs and i am very attached to them. But i have a problem. I can not seem to get them totally house trained. They are ruining my house. They pee all over every thing. My house smells like a bears den. I keep shampooing, moping, disinfecting, etc. But its getting so old. Oh, and i need to mention that i have four children, they think these dogs are their best friends. So you see what a tough situation im in. Does anyone have any advice on how to get these dogs to stop peeing everywhere. I take them out like every two to three hours. They do pee and poopy outside. Why do they have the desire to pee inside. They don't have many poopy accidents in the house. They insist on having to go out to poopy. Any advice would be helpful. I am at my wits end. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I agree with the other user that suggested crating them when they aren't being supervised. I also wonder, if they're marking the house so often, are they male and have they been neutered? If not, you may find that will help. Males urinate on things to mark territory. Neutering them may help reduce their desire to display territorial behaviours.
Good luck!

Crate train them! I have an 8 month old English bulldog and he was house trained by the time he was 3 months old thanks to the crate. The crate will help them learn they do not go to the bathroom inside.
