If it wasn't, then they were really interested in the smell, nose really close, sniffing away, just like when they smell other dogs pee on a walk or in the park. Uni is even known to tattle on the others if she were to find a spot before I did.

A friend's dog came to visit and when around back the shop and peed. I took each one of the dogs to the spot, and wouldn't you know it, the one who did it tried to push away. The ones who didn't were very interested.

I agree completely when we got the pup and added her we had soem regression, and it was so easy to find out who actually did it...ears down hunkering "I know I'm bad I did it" when guilt when not guilty...it was all about smelling and seeing who else had done the deed...I always used a stern NO! NO POTTY IN THE HOUSE- POTTY OUTSIDE! (yes I said it very loud) in my mean mom voice all it took end of it and the cleaning began YAY me...taking away love or showing you disprove is traumatic enough for them IMO.
We use doggy time out here but not for things like that, and only if hey are caught in the act-really only aggression based behaviors or something dangerous.
