Sorry... but I dont agree. Example: I confine Meka to the washroom & bathroom during the day. When I came home the other day, she pee'd/poo'd in an area that she wasnt suppose to and she knew it. Because before I can say a word, I looked at her and she looked away and put her head down (feeling bad at what she did). I then told her that it was a bad potty & timeout (which means, that she has to stay sitting downstairs - cant come upstairs w/ the fam just yet).... cause thats the first thing they want to do is connect with us, play etc... ya know...
So, none the less... I come downstairs 5-10 min later and she's jumping around going crazy (like mommy "look") - then I check her pad to see she pee'd & poo'd in the right place this time.
These little guys are a lot smarter than we think
Ive even read that you cant scold a dog for something they did if you didnt see em do it, because they dont know why.... I think thats incorrect as well. Ive taken Meka back "to the scene of one of her crimes"...lol and she totally recognizes everytime
