On the latest episode of The Family Pupz Podcast, we asked the founder of Paws For Thought Dog Training, Maddie Messina, whether puppies are acting out of spite when they go potty somewhere in the home where they are not supposed to.

We loved when she said that we don't just expect human babies to hold their bladder, so why should we expect the same from dog babies.

We also discuss how putting intent into another creature's behavior, whether that creature is a puppy or another human being, is our brain's way of making sense of what's happening, when there might be a huge variety of different reasons for that behavior.
