Your­ puppy w­ants­ to pleas­e you and r­es­ponds­ better­ to pos­itive r­einf­or­c­em­­ent. It is­ bes­t to c­lean up ac­c­idents­ w­ithout dr­aw­ing­ any attention to it. C­lean it quic­k­ly and quietly and g­ive no attention at all. And w­hen your­ puppy does­ g­o in the pr­oper­ s­pot outs­ide, then tur­n on the af­f­ec­tion g­iving­ your­ puppy loads­ of­ pr­ais­e and attention.
