Help Minnie
Hello,
I am new to this site. I have a very cute Dachshund/Beagle mix pound puppy. We got her three years ago. We recently moved into a new home that seemed to have a dog that spent alot of time in the basement. We had the carpets steamed cleaned before moving in, but Minnie has taken a liking to one spot in the basement to poop. She does not pee in the house only poop. I realize this is probably a spot the previous dog may have used, but are there any suggestions out there as to how to curb this behavior? I look forward to your advice! |

Don't allow her access to that area when she's unattended. In addition to Diddy's advice, you may want to clean that area of the carpet with a good enzyme cleaner to remove any odors. I can't think of a good brand name right off the top of my head but a quick web search should give you some choices of cleaners designed to remove dog urine and feces odor. I'm not entirely sure steam cleaning will remove all of the odor if another dog was marking that spot. Plus you've got a new scent from your dog to remove now as well. Once cleaned, don't allow her to go there again and, as Diddy pointed out, don't leave her unattended in the problem area. I hope this helps. -- Les Hilliard & Nikki the Super Shih-Tzu |
