This is a pet question I have three small dogs I got each dog at a different times .?

Question

I don't know which one of them is going potty on my rug. or if its all three. I never catch any of them. What should I do?

Answer 1

It may have started out as one of them - but if it is being repeated quite a bit - then it may be more than one. The smell would be an "incentive" to the others - and it could be a marking location now. Or it could be that the oldest one of the three is having issues holding their bladder, or perhaps other reasons - are any of them drinking more water than usual? I know that is a hard thing to answer with three - but when they are drinking does one drink a great deal more than the others? If so, you might want to discuss it with your vet.

Use something like Oxy Simple Solution - with an enzyme in it to take the smell out of your carpet. So far that is the best one I have found.

You could also use a couple leashes to try and isolate two of them and test one at a time.

Answer 2

Get rid of that rug. Once a dog pees (it is not sitting on the potty, presumably, or there wouldn't be a problem) in a certain spot, nothing you can do, no removal agent will EVER get the smell out as far as the dog is concerned. Whichever dog it is will go over and over again in the same spot. Then house-train them properly - use a crate if you need to.

Answer 3

You could put pants on them like a nappy. The one that has a wet patch is the culprit!

Answer 4

Suzanne Knows what shes talking about

Answer 5

See if you can lock 2 away at a time? Or maybe if you have a video camera.....even your mobile if it has a big enough memory card.

Answer 6

Yea...Baby gates / or separate them some how to see who is doing the deed. : )
