Schnauzer fixed toilet training method:

1. Prepare a dog toilet or pee pad and place it in the toilet at home. Dogs are not born knowing to defecate in the dog toilet or on the pee pad and need guidance from their owners. Place the dog toilet or pee pad in the toilet. It is best not to have other debris next to the dog toilet to avoid disturbing the dog. In addition, do not place dog toilets or pee pads next to the kennel. Generally, dogs who love cleanliness will not defecate next to the kennel.

2. When the dog just wakes up or defecates within 10-20 minutes after a meal, or keeps sniffing, take it to the toilet immediately. The key is to train the dog to urinate and defecate at fixed points and master the dog’s defecation patterns. Puppies are not fully developed and have poor tolerance. They usually want to defecate 10-20 minutes after waking up or after eating a full meal. Adult dogs are more tolerant, but when they want to defecate, they will keep sniffing and circle on the ground to find a place to defecate. Of course, puppies also have similar actions before defecating. When they want to defecate, take them to the dog toilet immediately. You can use snacks to lure your dog to follow you.

3. Your dog may not have the urge to defecate when he first arrives at the dog toilet, so please wait patiently. If someone interrupts you when you want to defecate, take it to the dog toilet. It will take some time for it to regain its urge to defecate. At this time, the owner only needs to stand aside and wait patiently. You can stand at the door of the toilet and block the door with your body to prevent it from coming out, but don’t look at it during this period and let it regain its ability to defecate on its own.

4. When the dog starts to defecate, add the command "Poop/pee", and reward it with snacks when it finishes defecating. When it poops, you can add the command "poop/pee", and then you can use the command to guide it to defecate at a specific location. Give the dog a treat immediately after it has finished defecating. It is best to use more snack rewards at the beginning. After a period of time, you can replace part of the snack rewards with praise and petting.

5. During this period, if the dog poops and urinates in the wrong place, the owner can clean it up silently. If the dog pees on the floor, the owner should take the dog away from the scene first and do not let the dog see the owner cleaning up the toilet. After cleaning up the urine and urine on the floor, be sure to use fragrance to cover the smell of urine and urine, otherwise the dog will still urinate in this place after smelling the smell.

6. Repeat training multiple times. A dog's IQ is about the same as that of a child, so you can't ask it to learn things once and for all. The most important thing for training a dog to urinate and defecate at a fixed point is that the owner has patience and practices repeatedly for many days, so that the dog can truly learn it.
