QuestionMy mother in law watches my toddler during the day. She has 2 grown dogs, 1 shepard and a shepard mix. They are very good with my child. Ny mother in law is worried that if she's toilet training my daughter and she makes a mistake that the dogs will go and urinate in the areas my daughter soiled. I never heard of this and don't belive it's common, but she says it's true. Please offer any insight to this unbelievable scenario.
AnswerI have not heard of that either. If the dogs don't already mark, there's nothing to think that they would start all of a sudden just because you're toddler had an accident. If she's concerned, just clean up the puddle or pile right away and use a commercial product on it for pet accidents (many varieties available at any pet store). That will eliminate any odor and the dogs will have no reason to mark.
