It's a very fustrating problem when your dog, male or female, seems to be "marking" her territory in the house. Always in the same spot, and usually when you can't be around to catch them and haul them outside, mid-pee. Worse is when you know your dog is really housetrained. What's going on here?
When your dog is constantly using the same spot over and over again to eliminate, there's more here than just a need to go.
Dogs have very strong instincts, and an unfortunate meaning to that is "once a potty spot ... always a potty spot." Most cleaners remove the smell enough for us humans not to notice it, but for a dog that area is still clearly marked, especially when carpeting is involved. You need to remove the smell from the dog's nose too. This usually takes a bit more than just a carpet cleaner or Lysol.
Enzymatic cleaners are best for this job. The natural enzymes found in cleaners like Nature's Miracle get right down, and break down the bacteria that stays behind causing a "markable" smell.
