What are some good carpet stain removers for dog urine and other accidents? So far I have heard of Drillspot and an enzyme based cleaner like this pet odor remover .

What suggestions do you all have? What’s the best solution?

Why on earth would someone buy a dog (puppy) without researching things first.................... i.e. housebreaking? etc.? Please don't take this as criticism, but that seems to be the responsible thing to me - owning a dog is a huge commitment, the dog is going to be a part of your family for many years to come and not just something to buy for someone as a "present", like a television or something!
