2. When I left the house, I learned how to say goodbye the right way. No petting or anything loving, just a simple "Going to work, guard the house; I'll see you later" That's it.

Her accidents stopped so I attribute it to those 2 things.
I don't think you can say the same thing for all dogs. My buddy did that to his dog, and the dog became anti-social, we can't even pet him or touch him without him moving or shoving our hand away with its nose.

Dogs suppose to love belly scratch, but his dog didn't even like being scratched.

A dog can sense when you're mad, so shoving his nose and using aggressive force is not going to properly train a dog. Consult an online forum for proper training imo.
