-a bad temper carries with it it’s own punishment-
It’s your fault for not paying closer attention to your dog. After all, are human children punished while they’re being toilet trained? Of course not. It would be irrational, inhumane and utterly confusing (regardless of species). And what kind of person rubs their dog’s nose in it? Are they trying to teach them what their waste tastes like? That’s barbaric, repulsive and utterly confusing because half an hour later you’re nuzzling that same dog who still has urine or fecal residue on their face. To humanely, easily and effectively train us (instead of “breaking us”, which has an ugly, violent connotation) please use our 99.9% effective method. When your canine makes a mistake, let them watch you collect it (without hysteria or angry, loud voices) it in a paper towel. Then, in your best gently authoritative manner, take the puppy, the soiled paper towel and place both of them in the yard where you want puppy to potty. Leave that paper towel in that area for three days. During that interim, always take puppy to that same spotty to potty. Add lots of nurturing “good dogs” as they sniff the paper towel, along with the euphemism of your choice, i.e., “outside” or “potty” or “wee wee,”- whatever you want their cue to be. Before you know it, they’ll be better trained than your neighbor’s smelly kid!
