that's what u get when u hit the dog as punishment...
since we are in punishment topic?? anyway of giving positive reinforcement when punishing the dog?? The way i'm using now is screaming really loud when i catch him doing wrong thing "NO.!!!!!" of course he will get scared and stop doing it... i wait for a few seconds then i pat him...( i don't treat yet cause he is still young and get really nervous when he smells food)
Am i doing it right??

most of the time, rewarding works a lot better then punishing. Instead of screaming "no" and showing your angry and disagree face, (that usually make the puppy scare and refuse to do biz) try using the rewarding method. Most puppy couldn't resist food. So use their food as treat is the best way. It's not good to introduce other treat too early that will lead to a choosy dog. The next time the puppy did wrong, just show him your unhappy face. Dog can read our body language well. And when he do correctly, giv him reward INSTANTLY if possible and give lots praise showing him you are happy. I believe he will choose to please you then hide from you

patient is the key! Gambateh!

jason
thanks for the advice. i have read about the vinegar but kind of hesitant to use it for the crate as the dog might find it smelly. wat do u think ?
i know there are commercial sprays but if can save $$$, why not ? the pet shop said can use clorox but tot tat is kind of too toxic
in any event, i will use the vinegar for the floor in the event of accidents
i actually read up books and articles on the net . makes me more confused leh

clorox is actually safe to use if used properly, with appropriate dilution. Check clorox website for more info. To eliminate smell, for your concern, or for the dog to not doing the biz again at the place? Dilution of floor cleaner like Jason suggested works only to "cheat" human's nose. Dogs can smell better then us. Vinegar and diluted baking soda has been a popular choice to remove the smell. Commercial stuff to eliminate dogs urine like "urine off" and some other potty training aid may help, though not everyone having success from that. To disinfect and kill bacteria, clorox, dettol disinfect spray, or germisep will do the job. Read all the label before using if in doubt

detangle shampoo how effective is it?
Honestly I haven come across detangle shampoo? Mind to update me the brand? So far I've been using detangling spray, and the one works better for me is all system moisturizing spray. But then daily combing is still the best way to prevent big tangles.
