Punishment doesn't have to be hitting or yelling (though I am not against a swat here and there as needed). It can be the loss of privileges (free roam of the house, toys, attention, treats). Dogs are animals and are by nature selfish creatures. They will do things to get things. Whatever offers the greatest reward they will do. This isn't just for potty training either, it is applicable to all dog behavior. NILIF training
