She is 5 months old Labrador and has decided that the door that divides the patio from the house ir the best place to pee. I have a 2 year old son that loves to be barefoot on the patio...needless to say what happens when he does...can I pour bleach or something like that so that she picks another place to pee?

Try using Woolite high traffic cleaner to clean the area she peed on. Or some sort of Woolite spray product. That stuff works wonders. I raised two dogs from pups and after the youngest one was almost 2 we sold the house that we trained them in and everyone that walked through the house couldn't believe the carpet was 7 years old knowing that two dogs were raised there, which is my way of telling you it works wonders. I used it on the hardwood floors too when an accident happened there.
The dog is still a pup, so don't feel so bad about disciplining her. Take her outside and play with her there and praise her as much as you can when she goes potty outside and when she goes inside, yell at her or smack her or make a loud angry noise, however you disciplined your kid when he does something wrong will work on a dog too, to get the point across that that's bad and she made you angry by doing that. Dogs love to please.
Read some books on training too because chances are that in a month when you solve this problem, she'll start chewing on shoes or something else will happen that you'll have to deal with.
Also, watch the dog and when she pees by the door, try to think if she came to you first, or made some sort of sign that she needed out, if not, then try to start noticing. It may be subtle, but I bet you that she tried to get you or your siginificant other or even your son to let her out before just peeing by the door. My female will just sit and stare at me or paw my leg if I'm not paying attention, but she used give up and just go by the door that we use to let her out if I didn't get her out within half an hour of her asking (that was when she was younger, she can hold it longer now). My male will sit by the door and whine until I notice him.
I wish you luck and patience

Maybe she is trying to go outside, but nobody opens the door for her. She is still a puppy, and apparently doesn't fully understand where she is supposed to pee.
Where are you when she does this? If you know you can't trust her, then you shouldn't. Everytime she goes in the wrong place without getting caught in the act is leaps backwards in the housebreaking saga.
You can buy pet odor remover from a pet store. While you are there, you should pick up a crate and a book or two on crate training.
Good Luck.

My dog use to do the same at my apartment and the solution was that i went to a pet store and most have a type of spray that u could put on the spot where they pee the most .....and it has a type of odor that dogs can not stand but it wont be a bother for us.... but before u spray it u have to clean the pee first then it would take like a day or so for the dog to go and pee on paper or out side how ever way u train it.......but it helped me alot...........

Like dissimilar the human beings have stated "Spray the stuff that prevents your dogs from chewing the place he pees on the refrigerator." do not do this! which will purely compel him to take what he thinks his territory is returned. If/once you spot him marking the refrigerator or putting out to scold him in a forceful, deep voice. do not act indignant nevertheless. Then take him exterior and practice him the place he can do his employer. After scolding him supply him an undemanding command like "come" and compliment him thankfully. which will practice him the adaptation between acceptable and incorrect. it could desire to take a whilst inspite of the incontrovertible fact that it will be triumphant in the long-term. proceed that until eventually he's prevalent with to not pee there.

Your dog sounds like he is very smart. Using the bathroom by the door means he has to go out. You just have to pay a little more attention, because before he pees he is asking to go out!, putting a mat down is saying it is ok when it is not! Good Luck!

A technique i heard that always works is placing tabasco sauce on the spot that they pee on. I don't know why this disuades them. Perhaps it is the smell. Don't pour the whole bottle on the floor because you don't want the dog to drink/eat it. If the ground is carpet the tabasco idea won't be helpful in your situation.

Ok. First of all bleach isn't going to work but if this is happening you should put maybe some newspapers nearby the door and if tht doesen't work try and train her to go to another place.

My dog does that in the winter because she is too lazy to go out in the snow. LOL...... I just pour some hot soapy water with a little bleach in it to kill the odor so she doesnt want to go back to the same spot. Just watch the pup and yell NO! When she does it and move her to the lawn to show her where she is supposed to go.

Have you considered opening the door? It sounds like she's giving you a pretty clear hint that she needs to go out.
If you have a 2-yr-old, do NOT use bleach in that spot. Bleach and ammonia (in the urine) creates chlorine gas.

ok go to cvs or walmart and buy a peice of poster board for like 50 cent and tape it to the door then when she pees there it will bounce back off the poster and onto her after a couple of times she will get the idea that u don't want her to pee there
