Ø DON’T put your dog's nose in his mess. It has been proven over and over again that all you will accomplish is to make matters worse,scare your puppy and destroy any chance of building a strong relationship with him .

Ø DON’T reprimand your dog after he has made a mistake. He won’t remember what he has done. A dog's memory of his actions lasts only from 1 to 6 seconds.That’s why reprimanding your dogf or his mess when you arrivef rom work is absolutely pointless. From your dog’s point of view, your arrival is something negative that he should be afraid of.
Ø DON’T shout at your dog if you catch him in the act. Instead, interrupt him by saying a firm “outside” or“toilet”,pick him up (that's the only time you should pick up your dog to bring him to his elimination zone or toilet stop),put his leash on,got the designated spot,let him finish what he had started at the wrong place and then praise him lavishly for going at the right place. If you scold him ,you will only teach him to eliminate when you're not around and that’s
exactly the opposite of what we want to accomplish. Hem ayalso find himself a hidden spot somewhere in your house where he can go “peacefully”! Again,that's not what we want.Calm and vigilance are your best allies when housetraining your dog.
Ø DON’T walk your dog to have him eliminated.A walk should be a reward fore liminating quickly not the other way around.Believe me, your walks will become longer and longer once your dog will have figured out that eliminating means the end of the walk.He will suddenly be able to hold it for miles!
