The training of Tibetan Mastiffs to urinate and defecate in designated places is one of the very important topics for Tibetan Mastiff owners. Especially for Tibetan Mastiffs who need to solve the problem of using the toilet indoors, if the Tibetan Mastiff is not properly trained to use the toilet, the dog will defecate everywhere, which is very troublesome. So how to train Tibetan Mastiff indoors?

Training Point 1:

The most common training method is to use newspapers. In order to let the Tibetan Mastiff know to go to the newspaper to defecate, some Tibetan Mastiff owners put some urine smell on the newspaper, thinking that the dog will go to the toilet there, but in fact, using newspapers or toilet paper with urine smell is not good. Trying to get your dog to remember the location of the toilet will almost always fail miserably, because dogs don't like to pee in places that smell like their own urine. Even if the surface of the newspaper and toilet paper has dried, leaving only a slight odor, the dog will rely on its sharp sense of smell to smell the odor and think "this place is dirty" and will go to other places to excrete. Therefore, the correct method is to spread clean newspapers on the ground and let the Tibetan Mastiff excrete on it.

Training Point 2:

The Tibetan Mastiff's natural habit of loving cleanliness prevents the Tibetan Mastiff from excreting in its own den. It must go to a place other than the den. Therefore, the designated place for Tibetan Mastiffs to urinate and defecate should be far away from the den, but the premise is to allow the Tibetan Mastiff to have a "nest." , please note that the concepts of "home" and "nest" are different in the Tibetan Mastiff's thinking. If you allow the Tibetan Mastiff to move freely indoors, you are actually letting the Tibetan Mastiff live in a house without a fixed place and lack its own privacy. space. If the Tibetan Mastiff cannot tell which part is the den, toilet training will definitely fail.

Training point three:

If a Tibetan Mastiff urinates anywhere and you punish the Tibetan Mastiff, if you think that if you press its head to smell the smell and then teach it a lesson, it will know that it cannot urinate anywhere, then you are wrong. In fact, it is impossible for a Tibetan Mastiff to accurately understand what its owner means. Your intimidation may be effective for a while, but it will only make the Tibetan Mastiff afraid to urinate for fear of being beaten, rather than feeling that it is wrong to urinate there. The Tibetan Mastiff may interpret it as: "If you urinate there, you will definitely be beaten and scolded. Although it is a bit scary, just be patient." So after a period of time, he will urinate everywhere again. The correct method is: when you find that your Tibetan Mastiff is peeing everywhere at home, you should immediately take the dog to another room and silently clean the urine to remove the smell. Guide it to the designated place to eliminate, rather than punishing the Tibetan Mastiff with violence.

Notes

Training a Tibetan Mastiff to urinate and defecate in a designated place is a matter that requires patience and perseverance. Some Tibetan Mastiffs may be smarter and faster, while some Tibetan Mastiffs are born with less memory and less intelligence. They will naturally complete the training.More difficult. To be honest, there are probably many Tibetan Mastiffs who have never learned to defecate or pee in designated places throughout their lives, and their owners have to adapt to them before they learn to defecate or pee in designated places. Haha, there is no way, who can Let the Tibetan Mastiff have its own cuteness, and the final conclusion is to adapt to each other.
