What about house 'potty' training?... I remember decades ago, someone recommending bitter apple for accidents to prevent to pup from returning to the spot.

I'm not sure on that myself. Since I have tile floors, I just used a bleach spray to clean and deodorize the area and the dog ignored after that.

i have only used bitter apple for things the dog chews on ,because it's a taste deterrent. as far as i know it does not discourage smell

You probably could us it for that issue. We just use one of those Oxy cleaning solutions for pets so they lose interest in the spot they previously used. We've been using this so he stops chewing himself, so we don't know how well it would work on carpet or furniture.

It works! It doesn't last on the spot forever, but the puppy won't return there if he can smell the Bitter Apple and dislikes it!

We had older dogs so it proved hard to convince them to use it. Perhaps it's better for training puppies. Anyway, we did try absorbing some of their urine onto a paper towel and putting that in the drawer of the Pet Park so their scent would be there, and you know how dogs like to top the last dogs leavings. Gate them into an area with a tile floor and the Pet Park and when they have to go, they will hopefully use the Pet Park. Susan W had a great suggestion on how to train your dog. Make sure to read her comment.

our rat terrier used to jump up on our kitchen table. we installed a scat mat on the table. when we arrived back home the contents of the table were in disarray. Skippy never jumped on the table again!

We have a male cavalier. He uses it great, but, when he lifts his leg, he often hits his front leg. We put out washable rug runners and we stand up bricks around it so that he has to run across the rug first. I do my best to catch him after he pees and I wipe his front paw down with toilet paper then spray his front paw with Mr. Green Dog Deodorizer. Our cavalier is about 18 lbs. I use 2 pottys upstairs and 2 pottys downstairs. We rinse them out twice a week. After rinsing I quick count 10 seconds of water into each potty drum and add Campa-Chem (It works best). The blue won't stain and it really works against odor. I will probably get a belly band for my little boy and start taking him out at least 3 x's/day until we get our yard fenced in. Hope this helps

My parents had a 70lb Boxer-Pitbull mix that would jump on the counter (literally all 4 feet on the counter, not just front paws) to eat all the bread and fruit. One jump on the counter with the mat=never happened again.

There's a tool for that purpose, that's safe - you stick their caw through a hole ensuring you don't sand their pads and hurt them . Google it

I'd contact the manufacturer for information. I emailed them once when I was having problems getting rid of the smell of dog urine on a wooden post. They responded quickly and the advice worked.

It helps to keep the pee on the pad and off the floor around it. You might have to put one side on at a time untill he gets use to using it with the sides on. How ever if your dog is marking you might want to try a male wrap VETS BEST I found works the best and is most comfortable for the dog. Also notice when he is going it sometimes it is seperation anxiety I have to put one on my dog if I leave for a short time he even seems to have anxiety when I go downstairs to do laundry other then that he could be marking if you have other pets or females he may be marking his territory if needed you can also use feminine panty shields inside the wrap in case of accident.--------Good Luck hope this helps

Funny as I saw the same items in my last visit to pet store the other day. I looked at both ingredients and I guess if your pooch is a Green Tea drinker go with that. My dogs never seem to ask for Green Tea. Sounds like pure marketing to me.

I think these were designed for dogs in heat and the belly bands for markers. All 4 of my boys wear belly bands and 1 of my girls wear diapers because she marks as well. There is a hole for the butt so it wont hold the poo plus that would be a very messy clean up. Get a belly band for the marking and continue to work on housetraining hopefully he'll learn both are a no no and you wont need it.

I highly suggest an empty plastic water bottle with 10 pennies inside. Just shake this once when your dog starts barking. This works wonderfully and it works very fast! I keep several penny bottles handy, including a small one for walks (an empty Advil bottle with 4 pennies inside). My four little barkers are now very polite. The ultrasonic seemed to really cause discomfort to their ears, along with my husband's ears.

Never thought about it. It worked very well for years on relatives dogs. When my dog started slowingdown I started her on it. It has been amazing. Source of ingrediants? Sorry.

Try a liquid treat or something like Nutrical or Laxitone. Those taste good and provide other benefits. But itiis always best to ask your Vet.

Try rinsing your dog with diluted apple cider vinegar after you bathe him. Vinegar should help with grease.

That is exactly how we do it. Mine is a rescue dog and i believe she was disciplined with a spray bottle. So to avoid any of the mental anguish. We dp spray onto a piece of gauze and apply. It is better for all of us

Depending on your pup, you shouldn't have a problem. I have 3 (!) RASCALS and have had not one problem training my pups...and they are yorkies. When they do go outside, they automatically go potty on the grass. You can try using the grate outside but, most likely, won't need it.

Wish I had more information for you - would check with Vet to see if Phycox might be an option.good luck! :)
