what kind of flooring?

[mruffruff]

I installed 4 rooms of Pergo this summer over a couple of weekends. Alone. If I had not been alone, it would have been easier.

I use area rugs in two rooms for noise control and comfort, and door mats to catch dirt and rain drips. The area rugs are fairly cheap ones that can be tossed if they get to be unbearable. So far, so good. As an added bonus, Samson no longer can get a grip to jump on my bed. For a change I have a clean quilt.

I would not be happy if water stood on it for any length of time and the seams warped. I am opting for continous vinyl in the kitchen since that's where the dogs drink. I have had urine on it, but I wiped it up pretty quickly so no warping or smell.

I would have preferred refinishing the hardwood I have underneath, but it would mean moving everyone out for a few days and that was not a viable option. The Pergo has a 30 year warranty, and hardwood needs to be redone every 3-5 years.

Wouldn't it be easier to train Scooby--or confine him when they can't watch him? Or how about a belly band?

I think Scooby's hooman's are the one's that need training!
I don't know she talked to the vet a couple years ago b/c I suggested maybe a prostate problem (he is neutered) or a tipped bladder even a UTI but she said the vet just said that he has a small bladder.

If Scooby is scared of your dad, and came out of an abusive situation, the peeing and pooping could be behavioural.

Did your vet ever suggest using Rescue Remedy? Ask about it.

Might just calm the wee one enough so the pee thing settles down.

HUGS and good luck with the floor!

yea - we have pretty much after all these years figured that its at least a psychological problem and not a phsyical one

THEIR vet probably hasn't prescribed anything like that I'm sure. He isn't my dog - He's my doggie nephew.
he pees at the site of my dad out of fright or nervousness and he pees out of sheer excitment when he sees ME. I say he's my favorite nephew b/c he's always happy to see me.
