Induced cue training - when puppies are young, put snacks and a ringing watch in the kennel, so that the ticking sound is thought to be the heartbeat of the companion. If you insist on training like this for a period of time, after a month or two, the dog will know that he is returning to his nest.

Eating training - fixed eating time, take away the plate after the time, so that it can have a correct eating speed, so that the dog will not have anorexia. Develop the habit of eating at fixed points, quantitative amounts, and at regular intervals. Set a fixed place and let it know it can only eat in this place.
