What smells? The air in general or the puppy? I use carpet fresh 2x a week and vacum often. I also spray a new Fabreze. It's called spring blossom or something. It works great. I give Chewie a bath every other week.

the smell might be coming from your puppy shedding, keep vacuuming regularly (we do at least once a week) and also brushing your puppy too. Golem doesn't need to be bathed that often, so we've been giving him a bath about once a month - and even then he isn't stinky. We have a wax potpourri burner that we'll light whn the house starts smelling too much like rawhide chewies I also picked up the new Febreeze air freshener, and that works really well too, esp when he's a bit gassy

Re: can anyone help me with dog smell in my house?
I had a friend over once and he wasn't very good with Oscar. So I gave Oscar a marrow filled bone to distract him. It worked but my friend kept saying that the place smelled like dog. After he left I realized that it was the bone. It had a bar B Q and bacon scent to it. So here I was giving my dog a bone to try to keep the peace in the house, and my friend complained about the bone!!!!!! When Oscar was done with that bone, the house smelled better again. Of course he loved the smelly bone!!
