How to Train a Little Corgi to Pee and Poop?

When an adorable little corgi enters our lives, it brings us countless joys, but also some small "troubles". One of the problems that bothers many pet owners is how to train a little corgi to pee and poop in a fixed place. Don't worry. As long as you master the correct methods and guide them patiently, your little corgi can also become a well-behaved and obedient "good baby" who poops and pees in a fixed place.

Understand the Physiological Habits of Little Corgis

Like other dogs, little corgis usually have the need to pee and poop after eating, drinking, playing, or waking up. Generally speaking, about 15 - 30 minutes after eating, a little corgi will want to poop. Understanding these patterns can help us better seize the training opportunities. Moreover, the bladder and intestinal control abilities of corgi puppies are not yet perfect, and they can hold their excrement for a short time. As they grow older, their ability to control excretion will gradually increase. It is more appropriate to start training a corgi puppy to pee and poop when it is 3 - 4 months old. At this time, they already have a certain ability to learn and understand.

Prepare Appropriate Tools

A suitable dog toilet is the key to training a little corgi to pee and poop. The size of the dog toilet should be suitable for the little corgi, and the material should be easy to clean. You can choose a grid - type dog toilet. The dog's excrement will leak through the grid into the tray below, keeping the dog's feet dry and preventing them from stepping on the excrement. At the same time, you can also prepare some urine pads stained with the little corgi's urine and put them on the dog toilet. The smell of urine can attract the little corgi to poop and pee on the dog toilet. In addition, snacks for rewarding the little corgi are also essential. When it poops and pees in the right place, give it snacks in time as a reward, which can help it remember this correct behavior more quickly.

Choose a Fixed Toilet Location

Select a fixed place as the little corgi's toilet area. It is best to choose a corner of the house with good ventilation and far away from the little corgi's eating and resting areas. Once you have chosen, do not change the location easily, otherwise it will confuse the little corgi and affect the training effect. You can set up some fences around the dog toilet to limit the little corgi's activity range, making it easier for it to associate this area with pooping and peeing.

Training Process

1.Observe the Timing: Always pay attention to the little corgi's behavior. When you find it sniffing around on the ground, spinning in circles, squatting down, etc., these are likely signals that it wants to poop and pee. At this time, quickly and gently carry it to the dog toilet and let it poop and pee there.

2.Wait Patiently: After carrying the little corgi to the dog toilet, wait patiently beside it and do not disturb it. You can talk to it softly to give it some comfort. If the little corgi successfully poops and pees on the dog toilet, immediately give it enthusiastic praise and delicious snacks as a reward, so that it knows that pooping and peeing in this place will be loved and rewarded by its owner.

3.Repeat the Training: Training a little corgi to pee and poop requires repeated practice. Every day, after the little corgi eats, drinks, plays, or wakes up, take it to the dog toilet to help it develop the habit of pooping and peeing in a fixed place. Even if the little corgi does not poop and pee immediately, don't worry. Let it stay on the dog toilet for a while and then take it back to its original activity area. If the little corgi poops and pees in other places, do not scold or beat it. This will only make it feel scared and confused, and it may even hide to poop and pee because it is afraid of its owner. Clean up the excrement in time and use special pet odor removers to eliminate the smell to avoid the remaining smell attracting the little corgi to poop and pee in this place again. Then, carry the little corgi to the dog toilet to let it know the correct toilet location.

Common Problems and Solutions

1.The Little Corgi Is Unwilling to Poop and Pee on the Dog Toilet: If the little corgi is always unwilling to poop and pee on the dog toilet, you can try to put more urine pads stained with its urine on the dog toilet to increase the attraction of the smell. You can also sprinkle some small snacks around the dog toilet to guide it to the vicinity of the dog toilet. When it poops and pees on the dog toilet, give it more rewards.

2.The Little Corgi Starts Pooping and Peeing Randomly After Learning: Sometimes, the little corgi may have already learned to poop and pee on the dog toilet, but suddenly starts pooping and peeing randomly again. This may be because the living environment has changed, such as new members coming to the house, moving, etc., which makes it feel uneasy; it may also be that it is not feeling well, and you need to pay attention to its health condition. If it is caused by environmental changes, spend more time with the little corgi, give it more love and a sense of security, and re - guide it to poop and pee on the dog toilet. If you suspect a health problem, take it to see a veterinarian in time.

Training a little corgi to pee and poop requires us to have enough patience and love. Every progress of the little corgi is worth cheering for, and every mistake it makes requires our understanding and guidance. I believe that with our efforts, the little corgi will definitely become a clean and well - behaved good partner, bringing more joy and warmth to our lives. Let's accompany the little corgi to grow up healthily and happily together!
