When correcting your dog verbally, use sharp, short, concise commands. Do not drag on in a rant to your dog about how bad they are. Just tell them no, and point them in the desired direction. Make sure your voice sounds firm and businesslike.<\/p>\n

Urine and feces scents can attack to the fibers of your carpet, which will lead to your dog repeatedly using the bathroom in that spot.
