Dog Training - Avoiding Common Training Mistakes

• As the answer above said, your dogs can smell their urine on the sofa, so they will continue peeing on the pretty same place all the time.
  
  Training them is not too hard for you to make them under control, you just need patient and some good tricks.


• For the peeing thing spray distilled white vinegar on it the reason they continue is cause they can smell it.Not sure how old the dogs are but training is pretty easy it takes time and patience.Most Pet Smart or Pet Co do have training classes for the public.
