What kind of odor? Wet dog smells or poop/urine?
Normally there isn't an odor, unless there has been a problem or just a wet dog, which will go away with open windows.
Is it the actual dog that smells or is it urinating/defacating in the house?
Like Dahlia said a healthy dog should not smell unless being given an incorrect diet.
If you have already tried carpet cleaning products and odor eliminating sprays try sprinkling a little baking soda on your carpet before vaccuuming. It soaks up any moisture as well as removing odor.

The smell is like wet dog. Actually - at this point - don't own the house. Just considering buying it, but don't want to if can't get the smell out.
So the dog isn't yours, it's just the house that smells?
If it's in the carpet then you may have to steam clean, even then, if the dog has been using the carpet as a potty, it may be hard to get rid of the smell.
I'd request that all the carpets be cleaned and all the walls washed. Of course, the smell could just be in the furniture, which means that it will be gone when they leave.
when my family and i bought our house the carpet in my sister's room smelled like dogs. we tried so many things that didn't work. the one thing that finally worked was Pet Fresh carpet powder. you can buy it any place that sells carpet deordorizer. you can also rent a carpet shampooing machine from an appliance store like home depot and use it before or after you put the powder on. also make sure you keep the powder on the carpet for a day or two and put more over the carpet if you need to.
We are having the same issue. Just bought the house, but - get this - EVERYTHING in it is brand new. The carpets and padding were replaced. All the floors are new, and the entire place was repainted and it STILL smells like dog. What else can we do? Carpet cleaner won't help this one.

Do you have an airconditioning system or ducted heating?
If so I would look there for the source of the doggy smell.

my sister just got new carpets in her house. one room reeked of dogs and cats. the carpet people just sprayed the floor with bleach and cleaned it before instaling the carpet. it smells fine now.
