I have avoided till now posting to this as I tend to get frustrated with this kind of trainnig.
I tend to loose my ability to post from kindness and in a tone that is respectful.
but will try--- there is a saying if a dog pees on the floor role up a paper and hit your self in the head, you missed something.
I believe that.
When my girl first came home she peeed, pooh and throw up on the floor and well. I cleaned it up telling her I was sorry for failing her and not listening that she did not feel well.
I have never spanked or patted a human kids but for failing to potty train.
I sure will not do it to my girl.
I started paying more attention to her signals and she now very clearly tells me by rattleing the blinds that she needs out.
I hate to think what a crash course in training would be as I am sure I loose all calm.
The only time I use No is if my girl is after another dog and leave it has failed.
Let me tell you it not a yell it is a firm and short in a male tone. A male voice tones stop movement in dogs where as female voice tones fire them up.
One reason I am off next week to train is to take the no out of it all the way.
"he is definitely learning that it is naughty to pee on the carpet (at least in front of me!) " Yes that is fear training at it best.
When he hides out from you or will not let you near him, then what??
Fear begats fear and then comes nipping and then comes well I will leave it at that.
Hug them, kiss them, guide them and they will follow.
