I had a client with five dachshunds and none of them were housetrained. It was a mess! I also had a client who didn’t want to crate her dogs so she locked them in her bedroom. They used the bath throw carpets to pee on and every morning I would gather up the carpets and throw them in the washer. She must have had a backup of 10 carpets!
I have to admit, if any of mine HAVE to do it in the house, PLEASE let it be on a throw carpet we can put in the washer!

Sheryl, I feel your pain. I have a pet-sitting client who had two dachshunds for many years... she worked very hard to house-train them, they even had a doggy door they could use 24/7 to a safe, covered patio and yard, and they STILL preferred to pee in the house as often as not. She just wasn't home enough to give them the level of supervision they needed to break the habit. My
Have you considered trying one of those "Potty Patch" thingies for your little naughty dogs? They have fake grass that the dog pees on, but the pee runs through it to a reservoir with an absorbent pad in the bottom. Kind of gross, but way better than getting your rugs peed on.
