Most puppies have at least a few accidents during the housebreaking stage. These need to be thoroughly cleaned up so that the puppy does not return to the same spot in the future. If your puppy is having many accidents, you should readjust your housebreaking techniques.

The best way to clean up a spot of urine is to soak up as much of it as possible. If the spot is on linoleum or another hard surface, paper towels and disinfectant can be used. If the urine
spot is on a rug, cover the spot with a paper towel and some layers of newspaper. You can stand on the spot to draw out as much urine as possible.

Once the urine is soaked up, it is necessary to use an odor neutralizer to eliminate the lingering odor of ammonia. If a dog smells any residual urine odor, it is likely to urinate in the same area again. Many pet stores and veterinarians carry effective urine odor neutralizers.

Remember that your puppy is just like a baby and needs to be
monitored at all times. Most puppies will show subtle signs that
they need to go to the bathroom prior to having an accident. If
you can?t be right there beside your puppy at all times, it should
be left in a crate. A dog views a crate as a private den that
it will not want to soil with urine or feces.

It is also important to establish a set routine and stick to
it every day. Most puppies need to eliminate frequently when they
are young, especially after heavy eating or playing. Paper training
is used by some owner, but this method should be viewed as a temporary
approach to training. Crate training is a much more efficient
means of housebreaking a dog.
