Let’s be real: dogs will dog. They get excited, they get scared, they drink too much water after a walk. So instead of trying to prevent accidents entirely (impossible), focus on protecting your floor. Consider a clear, pet-safe sealant or wax applied twice a year. It creates a barrier that pee just can’t penetrate.
Also, train that silly potato to use a designated pee pad if you live in an apartment. But hey, accidents are just moments of love gone liquid. And that’s fine. You’ve got this. You have the knowledge. You have the vinegar. You are a hardwood-floor-reviving superhero.
