Dogs know how to go to the toilet in a civilized manner, they are not born with it. Rather, it is trained by pet owners. So, how to train a dog to go to the toilet in a civilized manner?

First step

Cover the area where you want your dog to go to the bathroom with newspapers. This is because dogs are not so smart as to defecate and urinate directly on the newspaper for the first time. After letting it defecate on one of the newspapers with your encouragement, its training memory will be "newspaper + defecation = encouragement", which is the first step to success.

Second step

The editor of Pet.com said that 10 to 20 minutes after feeding or after activities, gently guide the dog to the toilet. Close the door and let it move within the space covered with newspapers. At this time, encourage it with words to urinate and defecate.

The third step

Once it has the intention to urinate or defecate, please do not disturb it physically, but give verbal rewards as soon as possible. Such as "Awesome!" or "Good!"

Step 4

When it finishes excreting on the newspaper, please continue to give gentle encouragement. At this time, you can stroke its head and back with your hands. The purpose is to make the dog like this behavior pattern, generate memory, and be willing to repeat this behavior.

During the training period, if the dog can defecate on newspapers, you can gradually reduce the number of newspapers, and finally reduce the number of newspapers to one block, and the dog will still go to the toilet in that position. Try to repeat the above training procedures at a fixed time every day. Finally, the dog will take the initiative to go to the toilet and defecate in the area of ​​the newspaper.
