My dog is way too smart for her own good. When she gets caught doing something bad she gets a kennel "time out" and a talking to in an unpleasant voice. I need to figure out something that she actually punishes her. She just ate the last of the tomato sauce and sausage out of my bowl when I went check the mail and I'm about 99% sure she feels like it was worth any punishment she could get. About 2 seconds later she peed right in front of me. I also KNOW she knows to go outside (She whines by the door). As soon as I said "Electron!" she escorted herself to the kennel for her time out. She knows she's in trouble because as soon as I start to scold her she stares at the floor and starts to growl (this is the only time she ever growls besides at some strangers). How do you discipline?

I keep a water spray bottle handy!  Works wonders!

Yes, the water bottle is great.  Also helped to stop the excessive barking. 

Exactly!  Timing is everything.  If you spray a little shot (I dont usually hit them with more than a few drops) right exactly as the bad behavior is happening and say a firm "NO!" at the same time, it wont take more than a few times till all you have to do is pick up the water bottle.  I just have to say "water bottle" and my guys straighten up when they are  getting a little too rowdy.

The water bottle didn't work for us. Yaz thought it was play time. She tried to catch the water.
