The size, age and potentially any medications your dog is taking may impact your dog urine cleaning efforts. It is not wise to let your dog urine clean up efforts spiral out of control.

The wolf is the ancestor of all dogs. All dog breeds are the proud descendants of the majestic wolf. You need to completely understand the behaviors and the psychology of the wolf before beginning your dog urine cleaning project. Reviewing the following paragraphs will prepare you for what you can reasonably expect from your dogs.
Wolves are super predators. In the wild wolves have been observed hunting and conducting complex coordinated attacks on large prey such as grizzly bears. Wolves can accomplish this amazing feat hunting and killing a predator many times their size because they are intelligent. The wolves have excellent communications skills and the pack is completely unified in their goal.
When not hunting for food wolves show tremendous affection to their cubs. All members of the wolf pack join in the rearing and feeding of all cubs. Wolves are excellent doting parents showing tremendous affection and patience with their offspring.
Wolves employ scent marking to mark the territories they inhabit. The markings have two basic purposes. The first is to mark the areas that they share with their family members. The second is to clearly delineate their living and hunting areas as a warning to other wolves that they have claimed this territory and intruders would not be welcome.
Is your dog breed capable of scent marking? Maybe depending on how close or how far your dog is on the canine evolutionary ladder. For example if you own a large breed dog such as a German Shepard the closely resembles the wolf then it is more likely that your dog would engage in territorial scent marking behavior.
If you own a small terrier that bears little to any resemblance to wolves and is much farther down on the canine evolutionary ladder than it is potentially less likely that your small breed dog would engage in scent marking behavior.
Potentially is the key word here because when you breed for one characteristic such as small diminutive size you sometimes inherit some unexpected and unwelcome behaviors.
If you own one of the dog breeds that has been bred for hunting, shepherding, running or other aggressive physical activity make sure your dog gets enough clean water. As the dog’s muscles work their bodies will need that clean water to flush out their kidneys and prevent dehydration.
As a rule dogs do not typically act out because they are unhappy with their environments. When dogs urinate in a home or apartment it is typically because the dog’s bladder is full and they simply cannot hold the urine anymore.
A dog that is pregnant or that is sick will have a much harder time holding their urine so be mindful of your dog’s medical condition and respond accordingly.
Some smaller dogs will urinate quite a bit more than some much larger breeds and this may be associated more with the individual dog’s personality than with other contributing factors.
Puppy urine is much easier to clean up than the urine from a mature dog like a German Shepherd. Fresh dog urine is always easier to clean up than old stale dog urine that has been allowed to soak into your carpeting for several months.
Don’t complicate your cleaning as dog urine that has not been contaminated by different cleaning products is easier to clean up than dog urine that is sitting under a miniature toxic waste dump.
During 2006 we evaluated several of the Genuine Proklean cleaning products and this is where we would focus our search. Their quality and consistency were very high. If you are trying to remove dog urine we suggest you visit their site.
We are planning a full evaluation report on their dog urine products at some point in the future.
