Like when my dog pushes his luck and goes into the garbage can after we tell him NO repeativly, of course were going to spank him. Just don't do it too hard. But you have nothing to feel bad about.

Edit: As for tapping their nose, I'm talking about when the dog is older and has been potty trained, and just goes in the house for no reason. Definitly not during potty training time though!
I have a six year old, 6 lb female yorkie. Ooops, front paws on pee pad, and potty's on the floor, hit or swat her, NOT!! Ooops, does not bark to go outside to potty and pees at the back door, hit or swat her, NOT! Ooops when in heat, she seems to have a weaker bladder. She goes potty on the floor away from her pee pad, hit or swat her, NOT. Ooops, I am gone too long and she goes potty, and not on the pee pad, hit or swat her, NOT!! Would I tap her on the nose because of any of these incidents? NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!
