Treasure hunt

By Catois - 05/03/2010 05:17 - United States

Today, I caught my dog attempting to shit on the carpet. When I saw him, I screamed. Startled, he ran around the house, continuing to take his shit. Now, I don't have to clean up a nice pile, I get to go on a scavenger hunt and find all of the scattered turds. FML

@#17: I have to disagree, you should never yell at a dog. Typically, it just scares them, and makes them cower, they have no idea why they are in trouble, even if they are caught in the act. You should always use a firm, but calm tone, when training a dog. Also, contrary to popular belief, rubbing a dog's nose in it, does not help either. To properly house break a dog, you should use the kennel method. Which is where you keep them in the kennel unless you are interacting with them. When you take them out of the kennel the first thing you do, is put on their leash, and immediately go outside, use the proper commands, and do not allow the dog back inside until they have " done their business," so to speak. Using this method creates good habits and effective house training. You deserve it OP, for either not properly house training your dog, or not walking the dog, and forcing it to go potty in the house, and then yelling at it, whichever the case may be.

Thank you, someone who gets screaming at their dog doesn't bring positive results :)

So true. So many people have animals but don't even take the time to understand them and properly interact with them...

Haven't you ever heard the term "scaring the shit out of someone"? YDI if you actually screamed bloody murder instead of yelling at the dog. Y also DI for not training/walking your dog then yelling at it when it did what it gad to do.

Actually to train a dog properly if I can remember from psychology, you have to pair a stimuli and a response together but put the stimulia first. This goes back to the bell and food experiment done by Pavlov. You are not supposed to tell them what to do after they did it or else most of the times they don't know.

she actually did what she was supposed to do, and although this time it resulted in scattered turds all over the house, it's less likely that he'll do it again... Although it's one thing to scream and another thing to give a loud and stern "NO!" which is what she should have done
