Dogs can generally be toilet trained in about three months. Once the dog grows up, it will be difficult to break the habit. To train a puppy, you must first observe the puppy's defecation pattern. Usually, it will defecate about 10-20 minutes after a meal or after exercise. The owner puts a newspaper stained with puppy poop in a designated place and takes it with him at a designated place. The puppy goes to the designated place to defecate, and is rewarded when the puppy defecates accurately. In about a week, the puppy can learn to defecate at a regular time and at a certain place.

Methods to train your dog to use toilet and toilet:

1. Prepare a dog toilet or pee pad and place it in the toilet at home.

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.

3. Your dog may not have the urge to defecate when he first arrives at the dog toilet, so please wait patiently.

4. When the dog starts to defecate, add the command "Poop/pee", and reward it with snacks when it finishes defecating.

5. During this period, if the dog poops and urinates in the wrong place, the owner can clean it up silently.

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.
