Is your dog doing this because she/he isn't housetrained? The dog should be on a stricter schedule. In a crate all day minus schedule play time and potty breaks. This way if the dog has an accident chances are it's in the hard bottom kennel. When housetraining every 2 hours I say "let's go potty!" and take them outside. I also have my dogs on a water schedule. They get water AFTER they go pee. Usually 1-2 cups every hour or two throughout the day depending on how active they are that day. ---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ---------- OHshoot forgot to say... I use a product called OUT!, works like magic for us on carpet. We use cut up sweatshirts and then rinse them in hot water and then throw em in with a load of towels.
