This punishment should never be to rub the snout of the animal in the feces because this measure is often counterproductive. Also, each time he eliminates in the street, the dog should be rewarded or praised .


Third, include other rules of conduct to facilitate certain situations, such as walking. To this we must accustom the dog to the collar and leash and must be removed immediately after the end of the ride for you to attach to it.
