I never put my dogs noses in their poop, but, i do put it down by it, tap them on the butt softly, change my tone and take them to the pee pad...the only dog I've ever had problems with, is the one that just turned 7 mos. she pees on the pad and has for a long time, and she doesn't poop on the carpet, but, she poops on the laundry room floor, sometimes on the pad...it takes consistency...your dad sounds like he grew up like us...although I don't swat with a newspaper, I do slap one in my hand to get their attention.. |
