7. If your Beagle has urinated, but you believe that your pup may need to have a bowel movement, remain in the area for an additional 10 minutes.
8. If your Beagle has an accident - Note that if your Beagle is always in his pen when you are not home, and is always tethered to you when you are home, chances of accidents are extremely low.
However, if an accident occurs, it's vital to clean this in the right way.
Urine and stools contain certain enzymes. Soap and water do not remove these. After cleaning the spot, while you will probably not smell a thing, if enzymes remain, these will be a kin to a huge sign flashing a loud announcement that that spot is a bathroom area. And your Beagle will be much more prone to pee or poo there again.
To avoid this problem, you'll want to clean up the stools or urine, and then scrub the area while using a quality enzyme cleaner. And this goes for any type of flooring, not just carpeting. You'll want to use a this sort of cleaner on wood, laminate, tile, carpeting, and any other material, including furniture if any urine splashed up.
