So that their won't be brown patches on the lawn and it will be easier to pick up her poo. When she makes a mistake we just ignore her an...

When she jumps up try turning your back on her. The minute she stops jumping and sits down reward her. Repeat this exercise lots of times.

Thanks for the tips again. As soon as I heard this water spraying 'method' I knew it was wrong. I am glad to know I am on track.

Thankyou so much for your advice. I will put it into practice starting tonight.
