So Libby is a sweet darling dog BUT she's not housetrained like I was lead to believe. This is majorly frustrating for me, because as some of you know I'm starting to get like my dad about house cleanliness, I think it is basically pride in ownership, like how you never see a muddy rolls royce, people put an investment in and want to take care of it, my house is a HUGE investment for me. Anyway, its really hard to get Libby to understand the dining room is not the potty area. I'm trying to use primarily positive reinforcement, and if I catch her in the act she gets a stern "no" and then dragged outside "this is where you go potty, outside!" Anyone have any tips, pointers, hints, or even funny stories to make me feel better about this? I don't want to rub her nose in it, and I don't want her to fear going in front of me.... yeh
