Well, I don't know if this is the right way to go
about things, but it has worked for me in the past with my Pyr. Pyrs, as
we all know, are very emotional animals. When Bear (my white furry bundle
of fluff) displays uncalled for behavior, and I see it, I tell him "bad" in a
normal tone of voice, and then turn my back on him. He immediately gets
upset and starts begging for attention. I gradually let him convince me
that he is still my baby boy. He doesn't repeat the behavior afterwards
for a long time. I don't know if this is the best way of doing things,
and, since he is a rescue dog (got him at six months old) I don't know if this
works on puppies. He has never pottied in the house unless he was sick and
there was no one home, but this method has worked on other things.
