Hi everyone! I need help! Ok, I have 2 male Chihuahua pups, Paco and Muppet. I have had them since birth, they are brothers, and are now 5 months old. I started out "paper training" the whole litter of puppies, but as they found new homes, I started taking my boys outside to do their business, and weaning them off of the paper. Low and behold, they one day started using my cat’s litter box! We were doing fine for a while, but Muppet still was having occasional accidents outside of the litter box. Now, he won’t use it at all! Still using the floor. It is always the same spot every time. I have bleached the floor, used ammonia, bought oder remover from the pet store, everything I can think of to make him choose somewhere else to go, or to go in the litter box, as the spot he has picked is right in front of the last step on our stairs! I take him out as much as I can off and on throughout the day, but he still manages to hit the floor at least once a day. I even had to take my Christmas tree skirt and presents up out from under the tree because they have picked the tree skirt as the pee spot! Can someone help me out with some suggestions here? Paco is doing just fine with the litter box, and he goes outside with Muppet everyday. What else can I do? How do I get sweet little Muppet back on track? Thank you in advance!

PS> Have you ever heard of 2 brother dogs being sexually attracted to each other? Muppet was "all out" the other day! It was after him and Paco were humping each other. Kinda freaked me and him out! lol Poor little thing looked at me like "What did I do wrong?"
The detailed answer may be the most informative, but K, yeah, Ammonia. Although I have already tried bleach and a diluted bleach solution. This morning when he got up (he is my son’s puppy and sleeps upstairs with him) and came downstairs, we cuddled as usual, and I kinda just mumbled to myself "please don’t pee in the floor today buddy, just go use the box or tell me you need to go out ok?", and then we went to go out. We passed the litterbox on the way and I thought "hey, why not try one more time?" So I asked Muppet if he needed to go Pee and told him to go get in the box and pee. He looked back and me and low and behold the little devil went and climbed in the box and Did his business, both!!! Oh my word, I was so happy I started clapping and praising as much as I could and grabbed the nearest thing I could to give him for a treat (it just happened to be a few pieces of dry cat food. At the moment, anything would have worked for me.) No accidents for the rest of the day. Who knows?
