[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t care how many times the MIL has allowed OP to bring her German Shepherd. The MIL has openly admitted she plans to let the puppy have accidents on OP’s carpets and will bring carpet cleaner. That is not acceptable at all. How are people thinking that is reasonable in any way?[/quote]

This X1000!

It highly, highly likely that MIL will never fully house train her dog. Dachshunds like many small dogs are hard to potty train. You need to constantly take them out when they are puppies and really adhere to the nap in crate, potty, play, nap cycle. Potty break before and after eating and drinking. If you let a small dog puppy just pee on the pee pads or pee on the carpet you will never end up with a fully potty trained dog. Pee pads are for accidents which you should be doing everything to minimize.

Once a dog pees on the carpet, it’s really hard for another dog not to pee there. A German Shepard may be smart enough and obedient enough to restrain himself but if OP has a different dog over sometime it’s likely the same spot will get hit. [/quote]
