Just curious..it's said when doing this like house training or whatever, you have to catch them doing it to teach them not to do it..right? But they remember what they did and know its wrong after, why can you not still do it then? Zeke seems to know when he has done something wrong. For example, the other night when no one was home, he went into the living room (where he's not allowed) and took a x-mas bulb dealy off the tree and took it out by his chair (He didn't break it though...somehow) When my dad got home, Josie greeted him at the door, like she always does..so does Zeke, usually. But he didn't that day. So my dad just did a couple of things, then went to let Josie outside and I guess Zeke heard the door close so he came downstairs and slowly creapt into the kitchen (which is next the room his chair is in/where the bulb was) and as soon as my dad walked around the corner (in the room with the bulb) zeke stopped mid stride. You can tell when a dog knows hes done something bad..Anyway, he seemed to know he wasn't allowed to do that..but we've never got mad at him for doing anything like that (he's never done it before) Same for if he has an accident on the floor..he won't go near that room if your in it till its all cleaned up...So if that even made sense, then couldn't it be possible to train a dog not to do something even if its after its been done?
