Prior to getting our Cairn Terriers, Molly and Jack, we had to mixed breed dogs that lived to be a very ripe old age. They both began to have accidents in the house about six months before they died. Even though these accident spots were cleaned and the carpet professionally shampooed, dogs can still smell the odor of urine and feces unless it is cleaned with a neutralizing substance that permanently removes the odor.

A dog's sense of smell is 100 times stronger than a human. This means that when a dog passes by a bakery, instead of smelling bread, they smell flour, eggs, milk, sugar, etc. It is hard for us to imagine such a strong sense of smell, but that is the power of a dog's nose.

The only way to guarantee the long-term success of housebreaking a dog is to be sure you clean up any accidents thoroughly with a commercial enzyme neutralizing solution. Nature's Miracle is indeed a miracle. I have recommended to many of my pet owner friends (including cat owners) and all of them have had great success with it.

In order for me to be able to see all the areas on our carpet that were former accidents, I purchased a black light and during the evening hours when it was darker, I went around on my hands and knees to detect each spot. I thoroughly soaked and scrubbed each spot.

You can buy a black light bulb at any local department store and put it in a trouble light if you have one. That is the least expensive way. If you don't have a trouble light, there are a number of different types of portable black light devices manufactured specifically for pet owners for this purpose.

Simply shine the black light on your carpet, flooring, furniture, etc. and the stain spots which are unable to be seen with a human eye will be obvious to you under black light. Soak the stained area and scrub it thoroughly. Don't skimp on this odor and stain neutralizing enzyme.

After that process, Molly's housebreaking became easier. She finally understood that the carpet was not where we wanted her to go to relieve herself. If she had an accident after that it was thoroughly soaked and scrubbed with Nature's Miracle. It was not time at all after that when she graduated from housebreaking boot camp.
