How to stop dogs from peeing in one area of the house? I have 4 small dogs - and watch other dogs. They all seem to pee in this one area of my house and now my laminate wood floors are warping badly. How do I stop them from peeing in this area? I have cleaned it really well - even with a little bleach to really disinfect the entire area (as I have a little boy as well) but they STILL pee in the area even though they have a doggy door access to the backyard! I don't want my floors to get damaged even worse! Make sure you're using the right kind of cleaners - many household cleaners have chemicals that ATTRACT dogs to peeing in that area instead of repelling them like the enzymatic cleaners. I would block off the area if possible. I would also do scheduled potty breaks for awhile since they're obviously not choosing to go outside, so take them out regularly and get them used to going outside. Reward them heavily for going potty outside by saying "good potty" (not "good boy" or "good girl," which could make them want to pee anytime they do something good inside), and lots of treats and excitement.

Basically, do potty training with them all over again. Either in combination with that or if that doesn't work, you may want to consider scheduling their water - for example, putting water down in the morning, afternoon, and evening for a brief period of time and take it away between those periods. Then you know when they've had water and you can take them out a short time after when you feel they may be ready to go to the bathroom. Hi, I've tried a mixture of cyan pepper and apple cider vinegar in a spray. I read it on a natural site a while back and thought I'd try it. It seemed to work! I took my puppy from a dog foster home about a year ago. I love him to bits; he has a great personality, and I feel that he loves our family so much. BUT, whenever I leave him at home he pees in the house: on the carpet, on the bed, on flowers.. My husband and I were thinking about taking him to 'doggy school', but then again, it’s extremely expensive, and the nearest 'doggy school' is far away from us.

Maybe you have some advice? I would take a cotton rag and soak up as much of the urine as possible by stepping on the rag, or pressing down with body weight. (This is helpful if it's on a rug or carpet.) Then I would use a homemade cleaning solution of baking soda, vinegar, water and orange essential oil. The orange essential oil I heard is supposed to help cover the smell of the urine. I also bought a black light to make sure I've picked up and cleaned ALL of the urine. It has to be used in darkness to reveal any leftover urine. So far this has helped limit the recurrence of urination in that spot. Using harmful chemicals solutions may cause other health risk factors. Try using green products or For the most part, using vinegar may depend on the type of dog you have. It does not work for all. You know your dog best and your training method with him/her. Get creative with your training tactics. Be humble and follow your gut instinct without physical or mental harm to your loved one.

Perhaps blocking off the area and initiating the word "No!", when you see the attempt on the area. Take him/her straight outside and deliver a treat he/she loves or hasn't had in a while with additional praise!! Our pup has his favorite places to pee in the house. We started noticing that it had been where our cat was laying during the day. So they may be trying to cover up one another scent. Try to put a potty pad down where they are doing the bathroom.

Honestly I would try this as more of a last resort and try the following tips first -

2) Block off that area ASAP - put a box, crate, anything! It just needs to be there temporarily to break their habit. 3) You should revisit some potty-training. Have them on a schedule where you are going outside with them first thing in the morning, after coming back from work and before going to bed - all for dogs, either 1 or 2 at a time to make sure they pee outside! If they pee, give a high-value treat (this is called positive reinforcement) every time. After a week weeks, you can start giving treats just occasionally after they go to the bathroom outside. 4) If you have a dog or two that aren't passing the "potty training", crate them when they're not under direct supervision. Of course make the crate a happy and comfortable place for them to be, but they also wont pee in there or have the chance to pee in the spot. Everytime he/she comes out of the crate, they must go straight to the bathroom. If they dont go to the bathroom outside, back into the crate and try again in an hour!

5) If one of them really isnt responding - it may be time to take them to the vet and get a check up, bloodwork and urinalysis to make sure the kidneys urogenital system is healthy. I hope this helps. We also have laminate flooring so I know your concern. To clean up the pee, after wiping the wet pee up with a cloth, we use Dawn dish soap and a little water and for cleaning the dried pee. Use a mixture of a little water, vinegar, Dawn dish soap and wipe it dry. I use a mixture of vinegar and olive oil for dusting. It's Great for conditioning wood. I use "Rejuvenate" Brand products on the laminate floor. It is made for all floors including laminate. The Restorer helps to fill in "some scratches" and puts down a protective coating. Remember, when the dogs "mark", they don't take time to sniff the spot. Their nose is very sensitive to other pet Oder. My client dogs that mark come in the front door and out the patio door to the backyard at drop off. I also put down pee pads but that doesn't work for marking.
