I like to call Cooper 75% housebroken at this point. We are finally starting to be able to tell the difference between his "I need to go potty" whine and his "I want to go outside and play" whine. Our biggest issue now is morning potty problems. I get up usually around 5-5:30 in the morning and feed Cooper and the cats, then take Cooper out to go potty. Once he is done, I try to coax him upstairs to play with his toys while I jump in the shower. I'd say 7 times out of 10 he will venture back downstairs and go both poop and pee in our living room (our living room is carpeted). I know eventually we will get him fully trained.
However, at this point, I am having a really hard time getting the smell out of our carpet. The carpet was newly layed when we bought the house last May, so I really don't want to have to replace it yet. I shampoo it at least once a month, and we use pet cleaners on it when he goes potty there. I was wondering if anyone knows of any cleaner that is REALLY good at get pee smells out of carpet? Since it is still only 20-30 degrees here during the day, I can't open the window to try to air it out at all. Any suggests would be very appreciated!!
