Oook..I was just wondering.
And it's not really just "putting her nose in it", cause it's not. I don't put her nose 'in' it. I show her it (her nose is a respectful distance) and say, No. Then I put her outside. Forgive me if i'm wrong, but if she starts using outside very soon, doesn't that mean it works?? Obediance trainers would obviously know behaviour, thats what they teach you. The whole thing with it, is showing her that "hey when you do this, (then putting her outside) i should do THAT out HERE." She was a pup, and didn't know she wasn't suppost to do this. By showing her that this is were the mess is (like you said) then taking her outside, shows her that the mess belongs outside. It worked, and I didn't shuve her face in the "mess". I didn't "force" her. I would take her to it, and show her, and point to it and say No or whatever then outside. I doubt shes close enough to inhale anything, and besides dogs go out and sniff other dogs crap all the time.
