Dogs have many bad habits, and their owners may not mind. But if the dog pees at home, it makes the house stink and makes the owner feel that he lives in a garbage dump, which is unbearable for most people. Therefore, letting dogs learn to defecate in designated places and learn to go to the toilet has become a necessary skill for every dog except "sitting". This is also a headache for car owners. Sometimes even if the owner teaches the dog according to the online real-time training, it always doesn't pull the toilet or the cushion. Why?
1, the dog's toilet is misplaced.
Although there are many tutorials on the internet, many of them don't mention the layout of the dog toilet, which leads to the owner's mistake from the beginning. Dogs are also clean animals. They don't like to go to the toilet near where they sleep. If you put the dog's diaper pad or toilet next to the cage or dog bed, the dog will definitely not be nearby. Who wants to sleep next to their own feces?
2, mistakenly think that dogs know dog toilets and mats.
Dog toilets and mats are clearly set up. Why do dogs keep peeing on them? Because dogs naturally don't know that they need to go to the toilet or pad urine when urinating. When I was a child, my parents took us to the toilet, and then we slowly learned to solve problems in the toilet. To let the dog know where to go to the toilet, only through guidance and reward at first can the dog know to pee in the toilet and get a snack reward.
3. Misuse of cages
Puppies are underdeveloped and can't control their excretion well. Dogs over 2 months old may need to go to the toilet every 2 hours. If the owner keeps the dog in the cage for too long, it will definitely be pulled into the cage. When keeping puppies in cages, don't let them stay in cages for more than 2-3 hours, otherwise they will be unable to resist. Even adult dogs should not stay in the cage for more than 4 hours, and they can be moved out after a while.
The owner doesn't know the signs that the dog is about to excrete.
If the owner sees the dog suddenly smelling in circles on the ground, it means they need convenience. The owner must guide them to the toilet at once, otherwise it will be tempted to pull directly on the ground. Dogs are rectal, and usually want to urinate after eating 15-25 minutes. Therefore, when training dogs to defecate at a fixed point, the owner will feed the dogs regularly and quantitatively, so it is easy to grasp the law of their going to the toilet. No need for extra snacks!
5. If a dog pulls, it will be punished.
Sometimes the dog pulls around at home, the owner will scold it loudly, and some owners will spank it as punishment. It doesn't make much sense, because the puppy may not understand what you are angry about, and it will only make it more afraid of you. When the dog at home is pulling, the owner had better ignore it, take it away and clean it silently.
