When we joyfully welcome a cute dog into our home, its lively eyes and energetic appearance can instantly dispel the fatigue and troubles in our lives and bring us endless joy. However, a difficult problem that follows makes many owners headache - ridden: dogs defecate and urinate everywhere, turning the originally tidy home into a mess. Looking at those hard - to - clean excrements, a sense of helplessness and annoyance arises in our hearts. In fact, as long as we master the correct methods and show patience and love, guiding dogs to potty train is not a difficult thing. Next, let's explore together how to help dogs develop good potty - training habits and keep our homes clean and cozy all the time.
Understanding the physiological habits and behavioral patterns of dogs is the crucial first step in guiding them to potty train. Just like humans, dogs usually have the need to defecate and urinate after eating, drinking, waking up, and playing. Generally speaking, within 15 - 30 minutes after eating, a dog's intestines and stomach start to move and it feels the urge to defecate; within 5 - 10 minutes after waking up, the body naturally sends out a signal for defecation. So, we need to pay close attention to these behavioral time points of dogs and seize the opportunity to guide them. In addition, when a dog is about to defecate or urinate, it often shows some obvious behaviors, such as constantly circling around the room, sniffing around with its nose close to the ground, suddenly stopping and slightly raising its tail, etc. When we observe these signs, it means that the dog may be about to defecate or urinate, and we should take prompt action at this time.
Selecting a suitable potty - training location is also very important. This location should preferably be a relatively quiet and well - ventilated place in the house, away from the dog's resting and eating areas, such as a corner of the bathroom or a corner of the balcony. A quiet environment can make the dog feel relaxed when defecating or urinating, good ventilation can avoid the accumulation of odors, and being away from the resting and eating areas conforms to the dog's nature because they usually don't like to excrete in their living space. Once the location is selected, don't change it easily. This can help the dog form a stable memory and let it know where it is specifically for meeting its physiological needs.
Preparing appropriate training tools is also essential. Common training tools include dog toilets and pee pads. The dog toilet can be selected with a grid design so that urine and feces can leak down smoothly, making it convenient to clean. The pee pad should be highly absorbent and contain an attractant. The special smell of the attractant can attract the dog to take the initiative to go to the designated potty - training location. Place the dog toilet at the selected potty - training location and then lay a pee pad on it to create a comfortable potty - training environment for the dog.
Before starting the formal training, we also need to build a good relationship of trust with the dog. Dogs are very intelligent and sensitive animals. They can sense the owner's emotions and attitudes. If we are too strict or impatient with the dog, it is likely to make the dog feel fearful and resistant, thus affecting the training effect. So, during the training process, we should always maintain a gentle and kind attitude, communicate with the dog in a soft tone, and give it more strokes and encouragement to let the dog feel our love and trust.
When we find that the dog shows signs of needing to defecate or urinate, we should quickly and gently carry it to the designated potty - training location. Note that the action must be gentle to avoid scaring the dog. After putting the dog on the dog toilet, use a gentle and firm tone to say some guiding words to it, such as "Defecate and urinate here" or "Be a good dog and go potty." Then, quietly wait beside it for it to finish defecating or urinating. If the dog successfully defecates or urinates at the designated location, we must give it a reward in a timely manner. The reward can be its favorite snacks, such as dried chicken strips, cheese cubes, etc., or it can be enthusiastic praise and gentle stroking. In this way, the dog will understand that defecating or urinating at the designated location will be recognized and rewarded by the owner, thus strengthening this behavior.
If the dog does not defecate or urinate at the designated location, don't be anxious or angry. Never scold or beat the dog because scolding and beating not only cannot solve the problem but will instead make the dog feel scared and confused, cast a shadow over its potty - training experience, and may even cause it to secretly defecate or urinate in a more hidden place. When we find that the dog defecates or urinates in the wrong place, we should quietly clean up the excrement, trying not to let the dog see it to avoid stimulating it again. Then, wait for the next time the dog shows signs of needing to defecate or urinate and continue to repeat the above guiding process.
During the training process, we need to be patient and persistent. Guiding dogs to potty train is not something that can be achieved overnight. It may take several days or even weeks. During this process, the dog may have relapses. Sometimes it can defecate or urinate at the designated location, and sometimes it may forget. These are all normal phenomena. We should give the dog enough time and opportunities to learn and grow. As long as we persevere in training, we believe that the dog will gradually develop good potty - training habits.
Guiding dogs to potty train requires us to invest time, patience, and love. By understanding the dog's physiological habits, selecting a suitable location, preparing appropriate training tools, building a relationship of trust, and using the correct guiding methods, we will definitely be able to help the dog learn to defecate and urinate at the designated location. Let's accompany the dog's growth with love and patience, witness every small progress of it, and jointly create a harmonious and warm living environment.
