Ha ha. Our dog only does the carpet too. We bought a Rug Doctor spot cleaner in the end.

Our dogs the same, ended up with enhance carpet cleaner and it hides the smell also
Ours is normally the squits on the carpet

Wife need to clean the carpet this morning. There must be a bug going round the doggy world.

Our puppy chundered on the carpet yesterday, then followed up by nipping upstairs for a quick wee on youngest boy's bed, not sure if it's a bug or just brain fever because he's been house trained for weeks now!

We had a 12 year old Jack Russell that developed rear end problems and it was an extremely unpleasant time for him (And us). His final 6 months were weekly vets visits with repeated messages about quality of life.

We had invested in carpet cleaners, steam cleaners for the wooden floors etc. But when we finally gave into the inevitable it was a fortune recarpeting the house and what did the daughter do. Another rat dog. Cute. But still another dog.

Ours is getting on 9 months old now (Pomapoo, so he's cute), but he has some pretty horrible habits, eating what other dogs/horses/cats leave behind is chief among them - I'm seriously thinking about muzzling him when we go out because it'll sometimes make him throw up, regurgitated poo doesn't make his breath or the house smell too nice!

I'm wondering if his reverting to peeing on stuff indoors is perhaps his hormones kicking in as he becomes a young man, so I'm having a consultation with the vet next week to see if he could be relieved of a couple of things to help remedy this

We had to muzzle our last dog when out as she also ate things we'd rather she didn't. Glass stomach too so it was a nightmare every morning until we decided enough was enough and built her a run for the kennel outside and she slept out there for years. It obviously calmed her down as she never pooped in the run overnight as she was perhaps less stressed about the possibility. She grew out of the eating problem, thankfully.

He's been completely clean today, wife has just got home and he's fine, I think it's possibly a bit of dog puberty confusing his head perhaps

I'm hoping that he will also grow out of the eating thing, but I have heard that some dogs never do - my mate's dog still happily tucks in, but he's a Beagle and they're disgusting dogs

[andrewsmith]

Some dogs do, some don't. Ours tries his luck with poo 💩 (border collie) but is fine when he nabs some. Fox crap on the other hand...

Swin if you are off lead, use leave but be very firm and it'll help

One of the regular dog visitors to our office always bounds up and sits on my lap for a better view out of the window. Good as gold and no trouble. This morning he managed to smear **** over my shirt and trousers. Whether it was his own or he'd rolled in something else's I have no idea. Had to go home and change so I didn't smell of **** all day!
