When that furry, round, just one month old golden haired puppy walked into your house for the first time with unsteady steps, I believe your heart was melted by it. Its innocent big eyes and soft little body exude endless cuteness in every move. However, in addition to joy, the problem of dogs defecating and urinating everywhere may soon give you a headache. But don't worry, as long as you master the scientific methods, give enough patience and love, it's not difficult for Xiao Jinmao to learn how to urinate and defecate at a fixed point.

A one month old golden haired puppy is still in a very immature stage of physiological and psychological development. During this period, their urinary and nervous systems have not fully developed and matured, and their ability to control excretion is weak. So, at the beginning of training, we need to fully understand their limitations and not act too hastily. Compared to dogs that are 3-4 months old, golden fur that has just turned one month old is more like a pure white paper. They are curious about the world, but they are not yet able to understand human commands and requirements. But this also means that providing the right guidance from now on can help them develop good habits.

Before starting training, we need to make sufficient preparations. Firstly, it is necessary to create a dedicated excretion area for Xiao Jinmao. This area can be chosen in the corner of the bathroom, a corner of the balcony, or a quieter and well ventilated place at home. Prepare suitable excretory products, such as pet specific urine pads or small dog toilets. Urine pads should be chosen with strong water absorption and good odor removal effect, which can keep the small golden hair dry and comfortable in the surrounding environment after excretion, and also reduce the stimulation of odors on it. If using a dog restroom, make sure it is of appropriate size and the edge height does not hinder the entry and exit of small golden hairs.

Closely observing the excretion signals of small golden hairs is a crucial step in training. Golden hair that has just reached one month old often exhibits some obvious behavioral manifestations before excretion. For example, they may suddenly stop playing and keep sniffing around in one place, or start spinning in place, with their little buttocks also slightly squatting. When you capture these signals, gently carry the little golden hair to the designated excretion area as quickly as possible. Remember, your movements must be gentle to avoid scaring this timid little one. Because the golden hair that has just reached one month is very sensitive, any fright may cause them to develop a fear mentality, thereby affecting the training effect.

After reaching the excretory area, you can softly and gently say some fixed instructions to Xiao Jinmao, such as "pee" and "poop". The voice should be gentle and patient, allowing Little Golden Hair to gradually establish a connection between these instructions and excretion behavior. Meanwhile, you can wait nearby for a while to give it enough time to complete the excretion. If Xiao Jinmao successfully excretes in the designated area, then be sure not to hesitate in your praise and rewards. You can gently stroke its head and praise it in a cheerful tone, such as "Baby, you're amazing", and then give it a delicious snack, such as puppy specific milk cream or small jerky. These rewards will make Xiao Jinmao feel that his behavior is recognized and loved, thereby reinforcing this correct behavior.

But if the little golden hair accidentally excretes in the wrong place, don't scold or beat it loudly. During this period, Xiao Jinmao still doesn't understand why he was scolded. Your anger will only make him feel scared and confused. You can say 'no' in a relatively serious but not harsh tone, and then take it to the designated discharge area to make it understand that this is the correct place. At the same time, it is necessary to promptly clean up the excrement in the wrong place and use specialized pet deodorizers to eliminate odors, avoiding residual odors from attracting small golden hairs to excrete there again.

Training a one month old golden haired puppy requires great patience and persistence. They may make frequent mistakes, perhaps learning to excrete in designated areas today and forgetting again tomorrow. This is all very normal, after all, they are just little babies. In this process, no matter how many setbacks you encounter, you must maintain a gentle attitude. Every patient teaching is an emotional enhancement between you and Xiao Jinmao. When one day, Xiao Jinmao can finally consciously defecate in the designated area and look at you with proud and hopeful eyes, you will find that all the previous efforts were so worthwhile.

In addition to daily training, a regular daily routine is also crucial for Xiao Jinmao's urination and defecation training. It is necessary to feed and water Xiao Jinmao regularly and quantitatively, usually 4-5 times a day. About 20-30 minutes after each feeding, little golden hairs usually have a need for excretion. Similarly, controlling the timing and amount of water intake, avoiding giving it too much water before going to bed at night, can reduce the frequency of nighttime excretion and help it develop good sleep and excretion habits.

Just one month old golden haired puppies are like the warmest little sun in life, illuminating our world with pure and innocent love. Training them to defecate and urinate at designated times is not only to make our lives more tidy and orderly, but also to help them grow up healthy and happy. Let us use scientific methods, endless patience, and full love to accompany Xiao Jinmao through this important training stage, making it the most obedient and caring partner in our lives. Whether it's sunny days or peaceful and warm nights, they all become more beautiful because of Xiao Jinmao's maturity. Let's witness Xiao Jinmao's growth together and create more memories full of love.
