Hi new hear and still finding my way around.
One question I have is does anyine have advice in carpet cleaning urine stained carpet. My rescue dog struggled to get used to weeing in garden is much better now but think the scent and stains confuse her at times and I want to clean it as thoroughly as possible.

I would hire a carpet cleaner and clean the whole carpet ...if not make sure you have cleaned the area with a non biological washing liquid ...

@Tinytom non-bio? I'd have thought an enzymatic cleaner (i.e. bio) and make sure to leave the cleaner down for 10 minutes to let the enzymes get to work before mopping up. Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong though.

I cant remember why I was told non bio ...another is white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda mix ...I have been using lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda as a natural cleaning mix and it's great..think its trial and error ...I have wooden flooring with rugs ..my friends by vanish spray mouse

We haven't had one accident with Sykes

Wow, impressive!

Bio contains ingredients that smell like wee to a dog. Same with cleaners that are based on ammonia. That's why we are better to use other cleaners as stated.

My lurcher pups were always very clean too - the only accidents we ever had happened when I asked Somebody Else to watch them for three-tenths of a nanosecond, and they didn't.

Wow, impressive!

Ive been really lucky to have a great friend /mentor that is great friends with Ian Dunbar we have learnt the subtle hints of a pup wanting to go to the toilet

Jasper never had any accidents - he did them all on purpose
