There is no sealer made specifically to waterproof the seams of laminate planking.
At one point, I did look into square, interlocking laminate tiles that were designed for laundry rooms and bathrooms. These have a deeper grooved lock-type channel than laminate planking does and are better at resisting water, but they do not look like wood, and they are not soft underfoot. The price point is slightly higher than laminate planking.
Another alternative is sheet vinyl that looks like wood, but that is VERY soft and can dent or gouge easily. I wouldn't place heavy furniture on it.
Ceramic tile with properly sealed grout (that is re-sealed periodically) would be the most impervious to animal urine.
Can the puppies be monitored or behavior modified?
That would seem to be the best solution in the long run, then you could have whatever the budget and desire indicates, with enjoyment.
