Linda - I think we are talking cross purposes. Dogs are not like children - action has to be instant otherwise the message is lost. One of the most basic training of dogs is "punishment" and scolding - its got to be done at the instant of the discretion otherwise the dog has no idea at any later stage what he/she is meant to have done or is being punished/scolded for - as much as we like to think they do.
