I think that it's great that you want to help your girlfriend out. I think it would be a good idea if you both did some research together on the breed as they are very much different than other dogs. A great resource is even to watch animal planet because they have lots of dog training shows and there are a few different trainers so you can pick and choose your favorites. I believe that if rubbing his nose in the urine/poo is what you feel is best so be it. I am just concerned with the fact that you want him to be scared because the problem with that is it could instill fearful aggression which can cause many issues not only in the relationship between him and you but as well affect his relationship with other people and animals. You can read more about it online but when I received my two year old yorkie, Izzy, she had fearful aggression which caused lots of problems for me! Good luck with your training, its a struggle I know but it pays off to do it!

Also, I wanted to say thank you for serving our country & I greatly appreciate it!
