Dogs are much smarter than you give them credit for. If dogs remember people and places and smells, they can surely remember that they just crapped on the floor. And they can surely understand that it's bad.
For instance, Coconut just took a crap on the floor. I picked her up, took her to it, and set her down right next to it without saying a single word. She tried to bolt.
She knows it's bad and we don't like it, but she's so set in her ways now that her icky habit is very hard to break. We're trying, though. It doesn't help that her crate broke...
Ugh.
