Steps in potty training for dogs

Step 1

Cover newspapers where you want your dog to go to the bathroom. 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

After 10-20 minutes of feeding or exercise, the dog is gently guided to the toilet. Close the door and let it move around the newspaper-covered space. At this time, encourage it to urinate and defecate using words.

Step Three

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.

Complete

During the training period, if the dog can urinate and defecate on newspapers, it 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 place. Repeat the above training procedure at a fixed time every day. Finally, the dog will take the initiative to go to the toilet and defecate on the newspaper.

Warm Tips

1. The method of encouragement is to prompt certain common words and phrases, such as "defeat well", etc. Your dog will also remember your words during toilet training.

2. In the early stage of training, after the dog has urinated and defecated, do not take away the newspapers stained with urine and feces immediately, so that it can have enough time to memorize the relationship between the location and the smell of defecation. Use smell to help remember results and learn them faster.

3. You can also use "defecation inducers". A toilet inducing agent is a product used to train dogs to urinate and defecate at a specific location. The most common one is a bottled spray.
