When a fluffy three-month-old Teddy stumbles into our lives, that soft and adorable little guy also brings along the "problem of excrement and urine". Looking at the "little accidents" left all around the house, many owners feel both helpless and distressed. Training a little Teddy to defecate and urinate in a fixed place is not only necessary to keep the home clean and tidy but also an important step in establishing scientific pet-raising habits and caring for its healthy growth. There are professional methods and full of love hidden in this process.
A three-month-old Teddy is in a crucial period of rapid growth and habit formation. Its urinary and digestive systems have not yet fully matured, and its self-control ability is relatively weak, which makes the training more challenging. At this time, a little Teddy needs to excrete frequently every day. Understanding its excretion pattern is the basis of the training. Generally speaking, a little Teddy is likely to have the need to excrete 15 to 30 minutes after eating, after waking up, and after being excited while playing. By seizing these key time points, the training can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Choosing a suitable excretion area is the first step in the training. You can place a special dog toilet in a relatively quiet, ventilated corner of the house that is away from the resting and eating areas. There is also a trick in choosing a dog toilet. For a young Teddy, it is advisable to choose a shallower style that is easy to get in and out of, and lay a pet-specific urine pad on it. The urine pad is preferably with an attractant that can emit a special smell to guide the little Teddy to go there actively. Once this area is selected, do not change it easily, so that the little Teddy can form a stable memory.
When leading the little Teddy to get familiar with the excretion area, you should be full of patience and tenderness. When it shows signs of excretion, such as sniffing with its head down and turning around on the spot, you can softly call its name and gently guide it to the dog toilet with your hand. When it finishes excreting in the right place, you should immediately give enthusiastic praise. Praise it in a gentle and excited tone, and at the same time, give it a small piece of delicious snack as a reward, so that it can associate excreting in the dog toilet with a pleasant feeling.
During the training process, it is inevitable that the little Teddy will excrete everywhere. At this time, never beat or scold it, because a three-month-old little Teddy still cannot understand the owner's anger. Beating and scolding will only make it feel frightened and confused, and it may even lose trust in the owner. The correct way is to silently clean up the "crime scene" and use a special pet deodorant to completely eliminate the smell, avoiding the residual smell from attracting the little Teddy to excrete at the same place again.
Establishing a regular daily routine is crucial for training the little Teddy to defecate. Feed it regularly and in a fixed amount every day, and fix the walking and playing time. In this way, the little Teddy's excretion time will gradually become regular. For example, take it to the dog toilet and wait for it to excrete every morning after getting up, at noon, in the evening, and before going to bed. Over time, it will develop the habit of defecating at a specific time and place.
During the training process, the owner's company and observation are essential. Pay more attention to the little Teddy's body language and behavior changes, and capture the excretion signals in a timely manner. When you find that it wants to excrete, even if you are busy, you should stop what you are doing and guide it to the dog toilet. Sometimes, the little Teddy may forget its "task" while playing. At this time, the owner can appropriately carry it near the dog toilet to remind it to finish excreting.
As the training progresses, gradually reduce the use of the attractant on the urine pad, so that the little Teddy can truly adapt to the environment of the dog toilet. You can also try to replace the dog toilet with different materials and shapes to help it adapt to more excretion scenarios and prepare for going out or changing the environment in the future. During this process, every small progress of the little Teddy is worthy of the owner's heartfelt encouragement.
Training a three-month-old Teddy to defecate in a fixed place is like building a bridge of love. There will be setbacks and hardships during this period, but when you see the little guy walking briskly, going to the dog toilet consciously to finish excreting, and then wagging its tail to ask for praise from you, all the efforts will turn into sweet rewards. Using professional methods and warm company to help the little Teddy develop good habits is not only an important lesson on its growth path but also a testimony to the deep affection between the owner and it.
