I'd growl too!
I don't swat my dogs cause they are so tiny but I've swatted my chunky 5 yr olds butt a couple of times like you described and he's growled at me! then he gets the corner and that makes a bigger impression on him.
Maybe try a time out for him when he piddles like that with a NO and showing him the peepee spot.
Spanking is usually when WE get overwhelmed it doesn't ever do much for the kid/puppy. I've learned from experience on my boys. |
