I adopted Sam, a one year old Chow-Lab mix, from a shelter about a month ago, and bathroom issues were immediately evident, but I was (and am) prepared to work through them. At first the issue was that when I got home from work, she would have pooped in my bedroom. This is no big problem, but I had to correct her so we could work towards a better system. My method has been to take her near the accident, make her look at me, and sternly say "No" once or twice. This must be a bad method, because after a while, though she stopped pooping in the bedroom, when I went into that room upon getting home she would pee on the floor*in fear, I assume. Now it has gotten to the point that whenever I come in the doog she immediately pees on the floor. This has become a vicious cycle because I feel like I still have to scold her for peeing, even if she is peeing because she is afraid of being scolded. I don't want my new friend to be afraid of me, what should I do?
