was limping really bad by the time we got home. I...

Too many housetraining accidents for me... by
markman2008@gmail.com
Hello everyone...
When is it reasonable to expect my puppy to stop messing on the
carpet?
"Christmas" is a lab/collie mix and is almost 6 months old... I have
heard that if we clean the carpets to get rid of the smell, it might
help. I ordered some odor removal from www.pbgone.com today.
