How to stop a puppy from peeing and pooping in the house?
When a furry little life comes home, it should be full of joy, but puppies urinating and defecating at will at home has caused headaches for many owners.
When that Corgi puppy with its short legs and big bottom bounces into our lives, it is like a vibrant little sun that instantly brightens up our world. We look at it with great joy, eagerly anticipating its healthy growth. At the same time, we are also pondering when to start the training so that it can grow into a well-behaved and sensible dog. At what age is it most suitable to train a Corgi? This question is like a key to unlocking the wonderful growth journey of the Corgi, held firmly in our hands, brimming with our deep love and earnest expectations for it.
A Corgi can embark on its basic training journey when it is between 3 and 4 months old. At this stage, the Corgi puppy has just been weaned and begins to be full of curiosity about the surrounding world. Its brain is also in a stage of rapid development, endowing it with a relatively strong learning ability. At this time, we can focus on cultivating some of its basic living habits. For example, fixed-point defecation training is particularly crucial for Corgi puppies of this age. The bladder and bowel control ability of Corgi puppies is still weak, and it requires our patient guidance. We can select a fixed corner at home and lay down a pee pad or newspaper. When we notice that the puppy shows signs of defecation, such as circling around and sniffing the ground, we should promptly carry it to the designated place. If the puppy defecates in the right place, we should immediately give it enthusiastic praise, gently stroke its head, and then reward it with a delicious small snack. Through such repeated training, the puppy will gradually understand where it should defecate and develop good hygiene habits. Every time we see the puppy successfully defecating in the designated place, with its innocent and slightly proud look, our hearts are filled with a sense of accomplishment, as if we are witnessing it steadily advancing on the path of healthy growth.
When the Corgi is between 3 and 4 months old, simple obedience training can also be carried out simultaneously. For instance, in the training of the "sit" command, we hold a snack in our hand and place it in front of the puppy's nose, and then slowly move it upward to guide the puppy's head to follow the snack and lift up. When the puppy's bottom naturally sinks and it sits down, we immediately give the clear command of "sit" and offer it a snack reward along with enthusiastic praise. Corgi puppies at this stage are highly curious and full of interest in new things. Through the temptation of snacks and positive feedback, they can quickly understand and learn the "sit" command. Every time the puppy sits down following the command, with its fluffy little body squatting obediently and its bright eyes looking at us expectantly, waiting for praise and rewards, it makes us can't help but smile, and it also strengthens our determination to train it well.
As the Corgi grows to be between 4 and 6 months old, its body gradually becomes stronger, its brain development is further enhanced, and its learning ability and memory have significantly improved. At this time, the training content can be further enriched. In terms of obedience training, in addition to reinforcing the "sit" command, we can also start training commands such as "lie down" and "wait". Take the "lie down" training as an example. First, let the Corgi be in the "sit" position, and then slowly move the snack from in front of its nose forward and downward while clearly giving the command of "lie down". When the puppy's body slowly lies down following the snack, we should immediately give it rewards and praise. During this process, the Corgi may not be able to complete the command well due to its restlessness, so we need to maintain great patience and repeat the training several times. Corgis at this stage are full of vitality and enthusiasm for training. Every time they successfully complete a command, they will be excited because of receiving rewards and recognition, and we can also see a strong sense of accomplishment and dependence on us in their eyes.
When the Corgi is between 4 and 6 months old, social training is also of vital importance for it. Corgis are a dog breed with a friendly personality and a preference for interacting with people and other animals. Good social skills are essential for their growth. We can take the puppy to places like parks and pet social venues to let it come into contact with different people and other pets. During the social interaction process, we should always pay attention to the puppy's reaction to ensure its safety. If the puppy shows friendly behavior, such as taking the initiative to greet people or other pets and playing with them, we should give encouragement and praise in a timely manner. Through such social training, the Corgi can learn how to get along well with the outside world and avoid developing bad behaviors such as timidity and aggression when it grows up. Watching the puppy playing happily with other little friends in a social setting, with its little tail wagging and bouncing around, our hearts are also filled with joy, as if we can envision it becoming a popular social star beloved by everyone in the future.
When the Corgi is between 6 months and 1 year old, it has entered its adolescence, and its body and mind are further mature. At this stage, some more complex training can be carried out, such as heel training. When going for a walk outside, we use a leash to guide the Corgi. When it can maintain the correct walking posture beside us and not pull on the leash, we give it rewards and praise. If it pulls on the leash, we should stop in time and wait for it to calm down before moving on. Through such training, the Corgi can learn to cooperate tacitly with us and maintain good behavior when going out. Corgis at this time are full of energy and have a strong desire to explore the world. Heel training can not only regulate its behavior but also enable us to enjoy more fun during the walk with it and strengthen the bond between us.
A Corgi can start training when it is between 3 and 4 months old. As it grows, there are different training focuses and methods at different stages. During the training process, we should always maintain patience and love, guide it with scientific methods, and give it enough rewards and recognition. Corgis bring us endless joy and companionship with their intelligence, liveliness, and cuteness. When we accompany it to grow up and help it make continuous progress in training, we are also reaping its full love and trust. Because every Corgi is an irreplaceable precious partner in our lives, and their growth and happiness are our greatest pursuit. In the days of accompanying the Corgi, we hope that with wisdom and patience, we can create a growth environment full of love and education for it, allowing it to grow into an excellent, well-behaved, and happy dog under our careful care. May the deep bond between humans and Corgis become stronger over time, and let's create more beautiful memories full of sunshine and laughter together, enabling the Corgi to fully enjoy a happy dog life with our company.

When the wind is howling, the rainstorm is pouring, or the ice is covered, the cold wind is biting, we stay in the warm home, enjoying comfort and ease.
