No way. Either it gets trained, or it's gone.

Three tips.
One, if a dog has housetraining problems, don't leave them loose in the house! Put them on a leash, tie the leash around your waist or to a belt loop and have the dog follow you around as you go about your life. Go outside *with* the dog at regular intervals, praise quietly while they eliminate, then have a big happy party when they are done. For the happy party, let them off the leash, play a little and give treats. Then put the leash back on and go back to your life. If you are not at home, confine the dog to a crate or to a small room where they are unlikely to mark.
Two, I have a protocol that was tested with over 500 cats for successful re-training to a litterbox. PM me if you are interested because it's just too long to post here.
Three, the best cleanser I've found is Anti-Icky-Poo. It is not an enzyme cleaner, it is a solution of bacteria that literally eats whatever is causing the smell. I learned about this stuff from a woman who specialises in "incident" cleaning (cleaning up crime scenes). It works on blood, urine, feces, etc.

Since I had kids in cloth diapers lo these many years ago I have used good ol 20 mule team Borax in the wash water for odors of the organic kind. I've not had to use it on dog pee but dog beds get a strong acrid doggie odor and it works beautifully on their bedding. I'd give it a try.
I am a pre washer so I wouldn't hesitate to wash the rest of the bolt and get on with my project. If you like the body in non washed fabric give it a light dose of starch. I often use it when cutting on the bias. That needs to be rinsed out after the project is complete or the bugs will get it.
