You should only scold or punish them if you catch them in the act. Punishing your dog afterwards or rubbing their nose in their mess can be very confusing for your dog. If you follow these tips you should be on your way to having a potty trained pup in 7 days!
Infrequent Fertilizing. Some lawns contain slower-growing grasses that require less frequent mowing or watering. If the clippings are removed, depriving the lawn of the nutrients provided by their breakdown, the lawn will require fertilization twice a year. Applications are recommended for August and mid-October.
Begin to fertilize as the rapid spring growth begins to slow. Most lawns will not need more than 1lb. per 1,000 sq. ft. in May and again in September. As the season begins to dry out as you enter June, start a regular morning watering routine (before 8 a.m.) but do not overwater as it can promote fungal growth.
