Question
Oh, I forgot to mention, we've had her for 3 days and she fetches and drops, knows her name, comes to snapping our fingers reliably even when she's busy romping something and is mostly leash trained. Now if only the previous owners dogs hadn't marked the middle of the living room. Hard to blame her for that but he had 3 dogs who had problems with the same spot. We just have to keep taking her outside every 2 hours without fail to keep her from having accidents.
My Answer
I really don’t know the correct way to remove 'stubborn' spots. I know there are things like the foggers for kennels and the chemicals but never had anything to do with it.
HOUSEBREAKING YOUR DOG
A simple matter of repetition is needed to house break your dog. After they eat take them out and reward them with praise when the go to the bathroom. I typically start my day by taking my dogs out and 5 minutes might pass but the results are there. I then take them back in and go to work on weekdays and come home at noon and let them out. After a good romp I let them back in and do the same at 4 and 7pm. With a schedule you can house break your dog in a day or two. Of course some dogs are worse than others but its not as hard as people lead it to be.
