Here’s how to remove urine from carpet.
If you catch your pet in the middle of the act, don’t fret but instead use it as a learning opportunity. Pets, especially dogs are creatures of habit and moods, just like people.
Punishing them when caught in the act will only complicate the situation as it will find a more secluded place to hide from you. Instead, be cheerful and say in a loud voice: “Whoops, Outside!” and take the dog immediately where you preferred him to relieve himself.
Use paper towel to blot and absorb as much of the urine from the carpet as possible, avoid using hot air as it can set stains due to the protective coating the carpet has during the manufacturing process.
To avoid urine seeping down further, you need to blot fast, the faster the better. If you have any vacuum on hand, then you can use it at this stage. If not, proceed to the next step.

Even if you have blotted the surface clean, the urine can penetrate the sub-floor and padding. What’s more, bacteria and allergens can stay behind and cause sickness, allergies and other respiratory health problem. Avoid any heat as mentioned earlier and that includes steam cleaning.
Heat can set the stain or odor plus the water left behind by the steam cleaner can grow mold and mildew. If the stain is bigger than you can handle, don’t hesitate to call a professional carpet cleaner who specializes in pet accidents. They have special tools and chemicals to completely, if not thoroughly, remove the spot and odor.
Step 4: Determining the reasons why your dog pee on your carpet and how to prevent future accidents.
Is your pet stressed?
Life changing events can cause distress which leads to accidents. One common source of stress is when you change schedule of walking him outside. Its body will take time to adjust and the best way to do this is either to stick on schedule, or gradually make the changes by delaying time to go within few hours interval. Home renovations can also cause a dog to be stressed, specially with workers walking in and out of the house all the time. If you had your carpet replaced during the renovation, the new scent may throw them off and cause them to mark it with their own scent.
If your dog is under medication, it may blur their mental responses and cause accidents. Always consult with your veterinarian regarding potential side effects.
A persistent accident problem may signify loss of bladder control, which also may be a symptom of an underlying health problem. Check with your veterinarian if you the change in behavior is noticeable.
To be considered a fully house trained dog, it needs to be at least a year old. Puppies are more likely to get accidents so training is important for a lifetime of good habits. To train your dog, go outside with him to urinate and reward or praise him when he hits the mark. Depending on the type of dog, some learn faster then ever, but the key here is to increase the amount of time between trips outside.
