With the continuous changes in people's ideas and concepts, more and more families raise dogs in their lives. At home, if the dog cannot defecate correctly and defecate at home, it will be a headache for parents. So for parents, how should they correctly teach their dogs to urinate and defecate in a fixed location?
1. The best time to train a dog to urinate and defecate in a fixed position
For pet dogs, if they want to train it to urinate and defecate in a fixed position, it is easiest to do it when the dog is about three months old. How can the body and brain develop after three months of the dog develop, so it is difficult to understand the owner's intentions, and training is relatively difficult. Dogs over six months are equivalent to the teenage stage of human beings and are relatively rebellious. If the training method is not appropriate, it is easy to cause the dog to be uncooperated. Therefore, dogs between 3-6 months are the best time to train them to urinate and defecate in a fixed position, and parents should grasp it.
2. Training process
A. First, find a place suitable for dogs to defecate at home. It can be next to the washing machine or the corner of the balcony, but try to stay away from the restaurant and bedroom as the smell will be relatively strong. Choose the defecation location and do not change it easily after starting training, otherwise it will easily lead to confusion in the dog and increase the difficulty of later training.
B. Secondly, you should first lay a thicker newspaper or urine pad at the defecation site, because if the dog is not proficient in defecation in the early stage, he will definitely urinate around. This can prevent the urine from soaking the floor or floor tiles. When the dog is able to defecate skillfully, the urine pad or newspaper can be replaced with a normal size.
C. It is also important to master the optimal defecation time. Generally speaking, the physiological defecation time of a dog is about ten minutes before and after meals and about ten minutes after getting up early. It is best for the owner to take the dog to defecate during these two periods, which can speed up the dog's defecation speed. Otherwise, if the dog takes the dog with him when he is not tempted to urinate, the dog may not defecate even if he waits for a long time.
D. In order to speed up dog defecation, you can place dog feces in advance at the defecation site. With a familiar smell, the dog will feel a sense of security and the defecation speed will be relatively faster.
E. The owner's persistence is the key to the dog's successful urination and defecation. Generally speaking, according to the above method, the owner will take the dog to defecate for about three to five days, and the dog will be able to successfully urinate and defecate at a fixed rate. The owner's patience and cooperation are required in the early stage.
3. Combination of rewards and punishments
When training a dog to urinate and defecate, a combination of rewards and punishments can be used. If the dog performs well, such as urinating quickly as soon as he arrives at the defecation site, he can reward a snack to let it know that this is right. However, if the dog still cannot defecate in a fixed position for one or two years, he can also scold him appropriately.
It is very important for dogs to be able to defecate at home. It can be said that this is the first thing the owner should train when training a dog. Otherwise, the dog will not have good habits, and urinate and defecate anywhere indoors and outdoors, and it may even cause complaints from neighbors outdoors.
