    I have never yelled at a dog for having an accident. We just redirected him to where he should go and then praise praise praise him when he did it in the correct spot.

    Yelling at a dog does absolutely nothing except make the dog fear you. I have fostered abused dogs so trust me on this one.

    Yelling and anger in general I find personally to be a waste of energy, that accomplishes nothing.

    Less but wipes and powdered bottoms as well. Soooo, not all it’s cracked up to be, really.

    Training pads work for puppies. Maybe they could try something similar for Doug.

    I doubt Dougie has given it much thought.

    Going through this right now with the youngest I nanny. Both his siblings were potty-trained by now, I’m fairly certain he can but just doesn’t want to. Except for when he is in the mood for a treat, of course.

    The down side? They quit giving you M&Ms once you master it.

    This reminded me of a scene from “Daddy Day Care”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osAhJ_Kl_J0
