Dog Pee Detector?
My mother in law's dog is a lovely little character but he insists on peeing everywhere inside the house  I have found a couple of wet
patches on the carpet and cleaned them up but I know I am missing some of his other 'mistakes' and the smell is getting quite
offensive.
Short of getting down on all fours and sniffing the carpet ( yes, I have done this) I wondered if there is anything like a spray which will make the
urine stand out more so I can identify and clean it more effectively.
Cheers,
Raz

On CSI they sometimes use a UV torch with a special yellow filter that they look through to detect 'bodily fluids'. Not sure if it works
for that particular fluid but you never know! No idea how expensive the things are to buy but if they're too expensive just call the police and
tell them someone has been murdered in your house. And then think of a damn good story to explain the lack of a body...

Ahh I didn't think about the UV light thing - I did a search on eBay and found a hand held UV light for under a tenner - sorted!
Thanks guys

Have you tried training mats to stop the dog peeing on the carpet?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

He's a 13 year old Yorkie and he's a bit too old to do what he is told now. Unfortunately my mother in law is not the most assertive of
dog trainers and he basically does what he wants ..... wherever he wants to do it
If he was my dog he wouldn't make more than a few 'mistakes' before he learned where to pee 
How do you train a mat anyway?

Just be thankful it doesn't take a dump on the carpet with that diet. Red wine and curry stains never come out.

We had a dog that ate tangerines but a proper jaffa orange peel bent so the juice sprays out would have him sneezing. Dogs don't like the citrus
oil in the skin.
We have a rotti that likes beer, lager, wine, curry, cucumber, lettuce, tamato etc. But she won't eat celery. Loves Icecream, custard and we
left a sugar bowl out and she ate the sugar too.
13 ofr a yorkie is not that old and maybe use of a water pistol every time its pees could cure it.

Our mutt (actualy wifes mutt, ex-liverpool street dog she felt sorry for when she worked up there) pees constantly in the house, usualy but not always
near the front door when a guest arrives.
Even though I love animals (we have 2 cats as well, and a beautiful collie that sadly died a few years back), I am pretty much at the end of my tether
with him, and everytime it happens I get closer to taking him to the vets to put him out of my misery.
He's ~12 years old, a mix of Staffy and Alsation about the size of a small staffy, with gormless looks. Pointless taking him to cats and dogs
home as no-one will want him. Any tips before I throttle the little b'stard?

Distraction techniques
What is your dog doing greeting people at the front door anyway?
It is YOUR house not the dogs, YOU greet people at the door and the dog gets to meet them LATER if YOU decide to let the dog meet them.
Your dog thinks people are coming into ITS house and then marks its territory to reinforce the fact.
Make the dog realise it is not ITS house and it will be far more accepting of people coming into YOUR house.
Funny creatured but there is a way around 99.9% of their traits if you think latterally and logically - but patience and persiverance are you best
tools.
Good luck

black pepper instead of the tangerines may help.
also silver foil - they don;t like the sound the wee makes plus it splashes.

His bed is in the hallway not far from the door. Don't really have space to put it anywhere else without it getting in the way as house
isn't very big. It's really not ideal as he also attacks any mail comming through the letter box, and will ignore any commands to stop it
other than physical restraint. Wife tried to keep him outside in a kennel in Liverpool but he just barked all night.
I find it odd that two dogs brought up togther (i.e. him and the collie) can be so different. The collie was the most obedient, gentle and loving dog
I have ever met and would do anything to please us. The other one has always been anti-social in one respect or the other, and very difficult to
train. The wife suspects he was abused as a puppy by kids in Liverpool which probably has some bearing on this.

It probably does but as i said patience and perseverance are key.
My GF wanted a dog (so did i) but i wanted her to leave it until i was well into the build of my car because to have a well trained pleasant dog takes
up an enormous amount of time and i didn't have time to do both.
I spent hours stopping my dog running straight over to the pet rabbit run every time she was let out the door. this was her instinct as she is from
pedegree working strain.
It ended up where she would not run over when i let her out but when GF let her out she would run straight over. I stopped it by hiding round the
corner everytime she was let out and jumping out the bushes and scaring her when she was en route to the rabbit run. a weeks worth of that and she
only did it very occasionally there after.
Similarly, i never ever let my dog out/in the door before me, sometimes even reinforcing my dominance by shutting the door on her and leaving her
outside for a minute or 2 beffore i let her in. They soon learn and now she will sit automatically at each door awaiting instruction whether too come
in or if no instruction follows she will just sit and wait.
The hardest thing to change is what they get up to when your not there as you cant replicate the situation for training - my dog scrathec to get out
when left alone - not thought up what to do about that one yet!
