It is a bit complicated to make reasonable expectations in training, but when you think about it, it is totally illogical for dogs to go to the toilet for training. Imagine that the ancestors of dogs, although they certainly didn't defecate in their nests, could be toilets in any direction as long as they stayed away from their nests, and they didn't need to do so-called fixed-point defecation training like stupid humans.
In addition, even if the puppy tries to meet the owner's needs, the bladder capacity is insufficient and the time for holding urine is very short. So puppies make mistakes, not only mistakes, but also many mistakes. Many people say that their dog miraculously learned to put the toilet quickly after six months or one year old. This is related to their physical maturity, psychological maturity and ability to communicate with human beings at the age of one. So, get ready to face a six-month-old or one-year-old puppy and surprise our dung shovel. If there is an accident, don't be discouraged, don't be angry, and continue to work hard next time. When an accident happens, remember that it is not the dog's fault, but the owner of the dog is responsible for the dog.
Positive Motivation Legend has it that dogs really start with only two things, one is food, and the other is the love of their owners. In any training, we should use these two points or a combination of them. According to the dog's personality, you can give him delicious snacks after going to the toilet correctly, or praise him in a happy tone, or play with the dog for two minutes.
But in the process of going to the toilet, don't take out snacks, and don't distract the dog noisily, lest the dog give the owner a big hug halfway because he loves him too much.
Especially remind dogs not to fight when they make mistakes, no matter how ugly the owner thinks the dog is and how much he resists fighting. Dogs don't have the same understanding as humans. When the owner puts his nose into the urine stain and shouts loudly, when the owner rolls up the newspaper and pretends to hit him, when the owner shouts at him with his nose flicking, he may think that the owner doesn't like it to pee, or he is moody, or he doesn't like to see it pee. Accordingly, their countermeasures are: don't drink water and pee less; Or show a look of shame to yield, but in fact it doesn't know that it is wrong at all, and only thinks that it has to yield in order to survive; Or hide in every corner to excrete from now on, or you may eat your own excrement.
Fixed schedule Because the physiological structure of the puppy determines that the time to go to the toilet is probably after eating, playing and sleeping, then if a puppy has a fixed time to get up, eat and play, then the owner is likely to predict the time when the puppy should go to the toilet.
Consistency Whether it is toilet training, caging or other obedience training, the dog's habits can't be developed at once. What if the master's training methods often change, such as changing positions frequently, sometimes in the toilet, sometimes on the balcony, sometimes in the urine pad, or the password often changes, sometimes? Hurry up? , for a while? Toilet? , for a while? Pee? Then dogs are easy to be at a loss. Dogs go to the toilet, in addition to time and smell, it is likely to be affected by the touch of their paws. For example, it may take a little time for a dog to get used to the softness of the urine pad when he goes to the toilet on the hardwood floor at first. Similarly, from the urine pad to the outdoor lawn, the training time of dogs may be extended due to various differences in touch and taste.
When there are several people in the family, if everyone has different attitudes towards the dog, such as giving the dog snacks after the father urinates correctly, but the mother doesn't, then the learning speed of the dog will also slow down. Family members should reach an agreement on details such as training passwords and methods, so that dogs can understand their owners' requirements faster.
Knowing your dog, toilet training should also be due to? Dogs? The toilet training method for different dogs is very simple, that is, using positive stimuli such as snacks, try to let dogs connect their owners' praise, delicious snacks and happy game playing time to designated places to go to the toilet, and gradually let dogs realize the difference between inside and outside, not just their own dog beds? Your own home? , with the whole house? Your own home? . However, it is very complicated. Dogs have a variety of toilet problems, which often make people feel exhausted.
What the owner may want to know is that although the principle is basically these steps, each dog has its own characteristics. As the owner, you know your dog best. Only by making corresponding adjustments can the training plan be implemented more smoothly. For example, after eating my tea for two months, I sometimes need to go to the toilet, which is completely different from the general instructions that it takes five to thirty minutes after a meal! Our reaction is to keep a close eye on it when it is eating, and take it to the backyard as soon as it leaves the rice basin and seems to smell the nearby floor. Even if there is no difference in IQ of dogs, there are differences between dogs of the same breed who learn fast and slow.
