I found something that I caught them chewing up almost two months ago. On a related note, I recently tried an experiment with my two dogs. If she didn't know that she had done something wrong, and she hadn't even been able to see me yet (and I hadn't even been able to see the mess yet), why would she punish herself? I know if there's a mess when I get home because my Lab mix has already put herself in the bathroom by the time I've opened the door. They don't make that connection before performing the behaviour again the next time you're out because the behaviour wasn't caught and redirected in that moment. So, while your dog may roll or hide, it's more about knowing that you're mad or going to be mad based on previous history. They don't mentally chain all the events of the day together to form a learning experience for themselves. Dogs don't generalize all that well, so if they're learning anything in that moment it's that when you're mad, they get put outdoors. You're not correcting anything because the dog isn't learning what to do in that moment in the past. All that does is show your dog that you are angry. You're not saying "don't offer that unwanted behaviour, do this instead". If you're not there in the moment to prevent the behaviour, and you're not catching the act to interrupt the behaviour, your scolding isn't achieving anything but maybe make you feel a bit better (in burning off a bit of steam).
