House Training Tip - Naughty Seat for Dogs

When we first got our dog (10 month old rescue pomeranian), we got just so far in housebreaking her and couldn't get any further. We could tell that she wasn't getting the message clearly on what we wanted and we were sort of at a loss on how to let her know that she'd done something wrong without yelling or (god forbid) hitting her.

Then we had a brainstorm. We stole an idea from my (human) nephew's training and now have a "naughty seat" for her. The premise is that the child must sit on the naughty seat for a couple of minutes whenever he has done something wrong. We converted that to a bathroom with the light turned off for a couple of minutes.

It works perfectly. She got the message very quickly (we use it when she's broken training and has gone in the house) and we haven't had to use it much since.
