Saying " no" etc. Doing it after the fact does nothing but confuse the dog why you are angry- they have no clue that spot on the floor came from them.. for all they know- you are mad because the floor got wet..Originally Posted by sprokett
I knew a friends dog once that was terrified of bathrooms- we could not figure this out- I mean the dog would fight you than go in the bathroom. One day she stepped out of the shower- and the dog was at the door- the dog stepped in a puddle from the shower on the floor . She said the look of terror on the dogs face of the wet floor- finally the light came on. The dog associated the floor with being wet to the dog getting in trouble.. no kidding!
