Haha thank you - yes, I'm 15.
Good point. What if, instead of saying "a dog" I said "a trained dog?" Because a trained dog knows that peeing on the rug = bad. But an untrained dog thinks being on the rug = just like peeing anywhere else. So an untrained dog wouldn't think...ooh...let's pee on the rug and make her mad. To me, Teddy doesn't sound trained, so I don't think he'd process thoughts the same way a trained dog would, if you know what I mean.
That's really what I meant by my post - an untrained dog who doesn't know right from wrong.
Because I'm with you, Tucker does stuff all the time just to drive me crazy.
But when he was a puppy, he wouldn't pee on the rug just to make me angry, because he didn't know that it would make me angry or why it would.
