I have 3 mini daschunds. They are 2 and 3 years old and they still potty on my carpet. They only go outside when they feel like it! And definitely not in the winter or if it's raining! Because I have 3 of them I can never tell who did it so I don't know who to discipline! Please help me! My carpet is ruined from these dogs! I

You need to keep an eye on them and use positive reinforcement.

Have you ever considered using a crate?

How did you initially introduce house training? Did you use potty pads? Or did you always want them to go outside from little forward?

House training can be difficult with three adult dogs that will potty in the house. What I would suggest is to keep them on a strict schedule of water food and outtings. Introduce a crate or something like a crate, such as a puppy pen. Treat them like puppies again. You may need to go outside with the dogs while its time for potty.. even if its cold out.

Clean the area very well.. any product with an enzyme in it will work such as Nature's Miracle. Ive heard vinegar water works well too... Whatever you do, don't use bleach or any type of house hold cleaner.. A lot of cleaners have ammonia in it.. ammonia will actually entice your dog to potty more due to the smell.


Good luck
