Puppies in their puppy stage, especially in the first three months, have irregular urination and defecation, which can be difficult to train. As the owner, you must be patient.
1. Understand the name and tone
Before training it to urinate at a designated location, make sure it understands its name and the tone of your praise and criticism towards it. After waking up and feeding the puppy every morning, take it to the place where you want it to defecate and urinate. When it is convenient for the dog, praise it promptly if it does the right thing. If it is not convenient at the location you specified and you discover it, you should use a stern tone to tell it that it is wrong (you can use a newspaper roll to tap the ground as a warning), then thoroughly clean the ground and spray deodorant.
2. Develop habits
Generally, small dogs will excrete after 30 minutes of eating or about 15 minutes after drinking water. Everyone can pay special attention at this time. If you notice a dog sniffing around on the ground, please be highly alert as he is looking for a place to use the restroom.
In addition, after waking up in the morning, dogs usually excrete once (including urine and feces). Everyone can see the dog wake up and carry it to the place you want him to go to the bathroom, let him stay there for a while, and at the same time, use a special tone to say the “hurry up” command to the dog (be sure to stick to it, even use this command frequently when he grows up, the dog will really understand. They will gradually know that your command is urging him to go to the bathroom)
3. Understand the defecation signals of puppies
Let’s talk about when a puppy needs to defecate first, it’s very easy to distinguish. They will exaggerate and sniff on the ground, spinning around
Er, then I walked around for half a day as if I had to choose a place. Only then will he pose to defecate. So you completely
When you have time, carry it to the designated place while it rotates. As for the signal before urination, it is not so obvious, especially for small dogs, who often urinate when their hind legs bend and they stand up. At this point, it is necessary to be quick witted and hold it to the designated location when it is about to urinate.
4. Stay tuned
If you don’t have the ability to maintain long-term attention to your dog, it will be difficult to achieve training goals. If you are very busy with work and only have a small amount of time at night to spend with your dog, then you want to use this limited time to complete the task of caring for your dog
Training dogs to use the restroom at designated locations is difficult. Because dogs, especially puppies, have poor memory, you have to repeatedly emphasize and guide them to remember. So if you want to complete this training, it’s best to choose a time when you have the opportunity to pay attention to it for a long time. This way, if you focus on training for a few days, your chances of success will be much higher.
5. Capture the scene
One sentence: Capture the scene! If you see dog urine or feces on the ground after coming home from work, don’t hesitate to go and tidy up. Because at this moment, it is completely useless to criticize the dog, as it does not understand why you are shouting at it for its foul odor. The most effective criticism and praise come when the dog has just started
When it finished this thing, it remembered what it had just done. If it pulls in the wrong place, criticize it severely in that wrong place, and then gently tell it that it should be here, it will gradually understand that sometimes poop is to be scolded, and in some places it won’t.
6. Be patient!
The key to training: encouragement, patience, and love! Training dogs to urinate and defecate is a long-standing problem. Take it slow, give them more love and patience, and they will repay you even more! In short, training a dog to use the restroom at a designated location requires patience. Sometimes dogs can be surprisingly clever, and as long as you put in the effort, they will definitely repay you twice as much
