Good luck with that...

Speaking of potty training this, is probably not a very effective way to change a dog's behavior. First, dogs can't read, even the crossed out picture is probably way too abstract for the canine mind. Second, this would be another good time to try to see things from another's perspective. By analogy, imagine you sit down on the toilet (remember, to a dog a piece of ground is either "home" or "toilet), get things moving and then suddenly notice a little sign, "please, no pooping." Are you going to pinch it off and hobble to another bathroom? Maybe, if you're a diligent rule-follower and have expert control of your bodily functions. I won't, and a dog surely won't.
