The Chinese rural dog, an ancient and highly spiritual breed, has always been a wonderful companion in our lives with its loyalty, courage, and simplicity. When we welcome an adorable Chinese rural dog puppy, we eagerly anticipate its healthy and happy growth in our lives. However, training it to develop good defecation and urination habits becomes our primary task. After all, a clean and tidy living environment is not only beneficial to the dog's health but also makes our co - existence with the dog more harmonious and enjoyable. Each Chinese rural dog is unique. They enter our lives with innate vitality and loyalty, and we should use patience and love to help them learn the correct way of life.

To train a Chinese rural dog to defecate and urinate properly, the first step is to make preparations. Selecting a fixed defecation area is of great importance. This area can be a corner of the balcony at home, a specific area in the bathroom, or a corner outdoors. What matters is that this place is easy to clean and relatively quiet and private, allowing the dog to defecate and urinate in a relaxed manner. Prepare some special potty pads or newspapers and place them in the selected defecation area. The smell of the potty pads or newspapers can guide the dog to that area. At the same time, understanding the defecation patterns of Chinese rural dogs is also crucial. Generally, puppies usually need to defecate within 15 - 30 minutes after eating, after waking up, and after playing for a while. We should closely observe the dog's behavior. When we notice it circling in place, sniffing the ground, and other behaviors, it is likely a sign that it is about to defecate.

Next, we enter the formal training stage. When we observe the dog showing signs of needing to defecate, we should quickly carry it to the pre - selected defecation area. During this process, we should be gentle to avoid scaring the dog. After placing the dog on the potty pad or newspaper, say some specific commands to it in a gentle but firm tone, such as "Go poop" or "Go pee". Then, quietly accompany it and give it some time to defecate. If the dog defecates successfully in the designated area, immediately give it enthusiastic praise and rewards. We can say "You're amazing, baby" in a gentle voice and give it some of its favorite snacks, such as chicken jerky and cheese cubes. This timely reward can make the dog understand that defecating in this place will be recognized and loved by the owner.

If the dog defecates in the wrong place, never shout at or punish it harshly. Because the dog may not understand why it is being punished, and doing so will only make it feel scared and confused, which is counterproductive to the training. We can pick up the feces with a tissue and place them in the designated defecation area for the dog to sniff, while re - emphasizing the defecation command. Then, thoroughly clean the place where the dog defecated wrongly to eliminate the smell and prevent the dog from being attracted to that place again.

During the training process, some common problems may arise. For example, the dog may forget its need to defecate due to being too playful, resulting in defecating at inappropriate times and places. In this case, we should be more strict about following the dog's defecation patterns and regularly take it to the defecation area to cultivate its regular defecation habit. Additionally, some dogs may not be interested in potty pads or newspapers and are reluctant to defecate on them. We can try putting the dog's previous feces or urine on the potty pad or newspaper to attract the dog with its smell. Or we can change the type of potty pad to find the one that the dog prefers.

Training a Chinese rural dog to defecate and urinate properly requires us to invest a great deal of time and patience. Every success is a small step in the dog's growth and also a strengthening of the emotional bond between us and the dog. We should understand the difficulties and setbacks the dog encounters during the learning process and guide it with the correct methods. When we see the dog being able to defecate consciously in the designated area, the sense of achievement and joy is indescribable.

Chinese rural dogs are the loyal guardians of our lives, giving us unconditional love and companionship. Let us use the same love and patience to accompany them through the training period and help them develop good living habits. In this process, we not only gain a clean and tidy home but also establish a deep and beautiful emotional connection with the dog. Let us cherish every moment spent with Chinese rural dogs and jointly create a warm and harmonious living environment.
