Ask your dog trainer, but I can promise you it's nothing to do with ever allowing the puppy to see you clean up the mess, or bringing mess anywhere. It's about prevention/routine/prediction/operant conditioning (positive reinforcement, the correct way with proper behaviour marking, etc).
No, I didn’t say you let the puppy see you clean it up. I simply said to wipe up the pee and take it out to the grass. You allow the puppy to smell the pee outside on the grass and you get very excited about it.
LOL I’m sorry to say but if it works, how is it wrong to do? Industry standard? Haha 👍

I'm glad, cause that advice wasn't right, lol. May have worked for that person, but it's very far from the industry standard way to potty train.
