I'd suggest you read the Sticky threads in the training section about potty training, there are some really great tips in those threads. |
Hehe..I guess I should have added that it may
seem like spite, it probably isn't.
Dogs really don't know what is considered 'good' or 'bad' besides what we train them to know or learn.
Daisy Dukes, the sticky threads are really really useful! I learned lots by reading through them before getting Scottie! Highly recommended!

I do the same (except outdoors)! Even though I sound like a crazy person talking to my dog about his pee and poop when other people walk by me, I'm like "good pee Scottie!" or "good boy, what a good poop!"
Sometimes I'm so impressed with his poop, I let out a "wow, that is one nice piece of poop".. (I get really excited when he has consistent good healthy poop!
)
