First of all, the shorter the training time for dog defecation, the better. Just because your dog hasn't formed a habit for five months doesn't mean it can't be corrected. It just takes a lot of time and patience. It's hard to change at first, but you have to stick to it.
I don't know how you used to train dogs. I feel that after trying so many methods, I think rewards and punishments are the best training method. Border grazing, like children, needs encouragement and correction to make progress. I list some key points of this method as follows:
When you close the bathroom, it usually sniffs when it wants to poop, which makes you feel a little anxious. At this time, you take it into the bathroom and let it out after solving it. Some dogs don't want to solve it inside, so they hold it. (My dog is, once even waited for half an hour and actually took it back to pee-? -b) At this time, you must bear it until it is solved. ——————————————————————————————————————————————— This method is more effective, and it needs a lot of patience at the beginning, but it will be much better later. I will train successfully in a week or two.
Dogs are very sensitive animals and have a sense of smell. Smell is very important to them and has the function of information marking. Some dogs easily pee a second time where they have peed once. Therefore, everything is difficult at the beginning. After you move, you can't wait until the dog gets used to defecation. Be sure to guide him from the beginning. If it has peed something like cloth before. You can put it in the bathroom for induction (there are also things similar to dog urine attractants on the market, depending on the smell), and when it gets used to it, it will naturally write in its mind: Oh, this is the bathroom.
Punishment and reward measures are essential things in training. If the dog is not solved in a fixed place, you must show anger and proper education. Education does not mean violence. My dad used to beat up when he was short of breath when he was training dogs. To some extent, my dog seems to be obedient, but later he didn't even dare to eat shit, probably because he was afraid of being beaten after having sex with bb, which led to this result, so I think it is very important to grasp the "degree". Just let the dog understand your feelings and let it know that it is wrong. There are also many educational methods, such as newspaper rolls, beating with empty mineral water bottles, shouting accusations, cages and so on. Which one should you try properly? Of course, it is also important to reward him later. You can pat him with a generous smile, praise him, or reward his favorite snacks when he decides to solve the problem, so that he knows that you are happy about it. Border grazing is actually very simple. If he knew that his master would be happy, he would remember it. ?
One more thing, the most important thing is that rewards and punishments are linked to things. It must be timely and accurate, so that it can know that you are doing it for this punishment, and doing it for this reward will be the most effective.
Let me give you a personal suggestion. It is also important to take the dog out for a walk at a fixed time. Border grazing belongs to working dogs. When they run, their favorite things are always boring. On the one hand, their exuberant energy is nowhere to be distributed, and they will make noise at home. On the other hand, dogs are actually more accustomed to going out in adulthood, bbnn. My dog later waited until noon and evening in the morning to go out for a walk and pee, which also reduced the burden of cleaning.
Finally, you talked about dogs biting people. Speaking of which, I really want to shake hands and wipe my tears together. Your idea is right. Four or five months of border grazing is the time to grow teeth, and I like to chew (my little body chews countless pairs of leather shoes and a pillow towel remote control). . . ), as the host, we should also understand that it is really hard for children not to bite when grinding their teeth. So when it comes to solving the problem, it's best to put away what it likes to bite, and then buy some regular chewing gum (preferably buy big cow bones or pig bones) for it to chew. When it has something to bite, it will naturally let go of innocent shoes. (Border herding is basically an adult after more than seven months. At that time, I won't bite again and my personality will be more obedient. )
I'm so wordy, in fact, what I want to say most is
Border collie is a very smart and agile dog. I believe that as long as you are patient and don't give up, the problem will be solved successfully! I hope what I said can help or enlighten you. Anyway, I wish you success ~
