Raising a dog can indeed bring a lot of joy to life, but the problem of dog urinating and defecating anywhere has caused many shovelers to have a headache.
In fact, as long as you master the correct method, it is not difficult to train your dog to urinate and defecate in a fixed location.
Let’s share some practical training techniques to help you solve this problem easily.
1. Select a suitable toilet location
First, choose a suitable toilet location for the dog. This location should be kept away from the dog's food bowl and sink as the dog usually does not excrete where it eats and drinks water. At the same time, the toilet location should be easy to clean and keep clean.
2. Mastering the excretion rules of dogs
Understanding the excretion rules of dogs is the key to training fixed-point urination and defecation. Usually, dogs have a need to excrete after waking up, after eating, and after playing. The shoveler should closely observe the dog's behavior. Once it is found that it has signs of excretion, immediately guide it to the designated toilet location.
3. Use an inducer or a urine pad. In the early stage of training, you can spray some inducer in the toilet, or lay a urine pad with some dog's urine. This can help the dog adapt and identify toilet locations faster.
4. Timely rewards and encouragement
When the dog successfully excretes in a designated location, rewards and encouragement must be given in a timely manner. It can be some snacks, touches or verbal praises to let the dog understand that its behavior is correct and has been recognized by its owner.
5. Maintaining patience and consistency
Training dogs to urinate and defecate in a fixed location requires time and patience. During the training process, the shoveler should maintain a consistent training method and attitude, and do not get angry or give up training because of the dog's occasional mistakes. I believe that as long as you persist, your dog will definitely learn to urinate and defecate at a fixed time.
6. Gradually undo the auxiliary tools
As the training deepens, auxiliary tools such as inducers and urine pads can be gradually undoed. Let the dog gradually adapt to the toilet position and excrete without assistance.
Through the above six steps, I believe that your dog will soon learn to urinate and defecate.
During the training process, the shoveler should maintain patience and love, and establish a good communication and trust relationship with the dog.
This can not only solve the problem of dog urinating and defecating anywhere, but also enhance your relationship with your dog!
