   Use an enzyme neutralizing cleaning product. After making the smell of your urine as thin as possible, use an enzyme neutralizer, such as Nature's Miracle or Angry Orange. These products break down protein-containing molecules in the urine - which causes bad odors. After testing the color fastness in a hidden location of the carpet or upholstery, spray the cleaning product on the stain and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. Then, pat dry with a clean towel.

   Have the trainer teach your dog to pee in the right place. Some dogs will not be able to defecate (either because they were untrained as children or the dog was mistreated). If this is your dog, especially a dog with no clear history, call your dog trainer. Many coaches can come to your home and help solve specific behavior problems for your dog.
