asked a question When you have multiple stays with the same dog, do they stop listening to you?

I've noticed that the more stays I have with the same dog, the less they listen to me. It's like the first time they're on their best behavior and then after that they don't seem to care anymore. Have any of you experienced this and is there any way to solve this problem?

answered a question How to stop dogs from peeing in one area of the house?

Using an enzymatic cleaner will help break down the smell in pee that makes dogs want to pee in that same spot. Nature's Miracle is the brand that I use and it helps stop most peeing.
