See I disagree there. My dog knew exactly what she was getting in trouble for, and it motivated her big time to not do it anymore. In fact, it was the negative reinforcement that potty trained my dog in just a few days....she never got treats or anything for goin outside.
But again, each situation is different....my dog happened to respond more to negative reinforcement (she hated pissin' me off) than to positive reinforcement (she's lukewarm on treats).
