Why would a one year old dog still have accidents in the house?
Your dog obviously thinks that this is OK. After a dog has urinated or defecated in the house, obviously you will clean this up. Perhaps you think that you have got rid of the smell and your friends will possibly confirm this, however your dog will still be aware of a smell. Your dog thinks that your house is a toilet; dogs have a much greater sense of smell than we have. In the UK there is a washing powder to use in washing machines called Ariel get the BIOLOGICAL version, or get some special cleaning solution from the pet shop and re- clean your floors and carpets with this, however Ariel is best. You must be absolutely sure that you re-clean everywhere that he has peed or pooed in the past. After you have done this your dog won’t do any pees or poos in the house. Then when your dog urinates outside and when it is in full flow or when he is defecating, use a catch phrase I say “get one”. Always use the same catch phrase when your dog obliges. Praise profusely and give him a treat. Us
