Do you know how to get your dog to NOT pee on the carpet?

November 5, by Vikram Goyal.

Dog carpet urine

Most people don’t. And with this little trick, and common household item, you too can stop your canines from not only peeing on the carpet, but also, stay off it. Because face it, most people actually like the feel of fresh carpet on their feet, rather than dog-piss. 🙂

There is also a scientific reason behind this. Dogs return to the places that have the urine odor because it is composed of ammonia and enzymes.

And  * drum roll *, the secret ingredient is….. White Vinegar! Yes, this natural acetic acid-containing liquid makes the dogs not go near places sprayed with it. The best part is that white vinegar is also very good at cleaning the carpets, and actually removing the odor that is associated with dog pee.

For best results, simply mix one part white vinegar with one part water to spray onto your carpet, or wherever your canine friend likes to visit.

Hope this helps!
