Dog Peeing on Carpet When Left Alone?

I have a 10 month old black Lab who is relieving himself on the carpet when I'm at work. I work from 3 pm to 12 am. I take him out two times before I go to work, one quick potty break in the morning before breakfast, and then about an hour right before I go to work. I also have an hour long lunch break, and I come home and take him out for another 15 minutes, before I go back to work. When I get home, I take him out again for about 45 min. So he's only alone for four hour intervals without a potty break. Any suggestions on how to make the accidents stop and also how to clean the carpets?

in order to clean the carpet, enzymatic cleaners are really the only thing that will get rid of that smell. "They work quickly by bio-degrading the stain, grease, oil, dirt, grime, vomit, urine, blood, coffee or food into its basic carbon, hydrogen or oxygen element, eliminating the problem. " Get rid of the smell and the dog is less liable to want to 'go' there.

You can buy one here www.chewy.com/.../47647?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium...

or, if you have brown sugar, citrus peels and a lot of time on your hands, you can make your own: www.wikihow.com/Make-Enzyme-Cleaner

As far as the problem, it looks like you need to keep him crated when you're away, and in this way he learns appropriate places to 'go': "Crate training takes advantage of your dog's natural instincts as a den animal. A wild dog's den is their homea place to sleep, hide from danger and raise a family. The crate becomes your dog's den, where they can find comfort and solitude while you know theyre safe and secure (and not shredding your house while you're out running errands). The primary use for a crate is housetraining, because dogs don't like to soil their dens. The crate can limit access to the rest of the house while they learn other rules, like not to chew on furniture. Crates are also a safe way to transport your dog in the car." www.humanesociety.org/.../

Clean the carpets with Nature's Miracle, which will take care of stains and odors.

Crate your dog or gate in a room and provide pads in a tiled area for when you are out of the house.
