There are two ways to teach your dog to go to the toilet: reward training and the use of excretion inducers. First of all, the owner can take the dog to a designated place before defecating and urinating, and give him a certain reward after he defecates and urinates correctly. If the dog urinates and defecates outside the designated place, he needs to stop it in time and give him a small punishment, so Just train repeatedly. Secondly, the owner can spray the pet excretion inducer in a fixed position and let the dog excrete on its own. This method is relatively fast, but some dogs are not easy to train through this method, so the owner needs to choose according to the specific situation of the dog.

1. Reward and Punishment Training

1. Generally, dogs will have the desire to go to the toilet within half an hour after eating. The owner can pay attention and observe if the dog is found to be wandering or sniffing. If you smell, the buttocks sink, etc., it means that the dog needs to defecate. At this time, the owner needs to immediately take the dog to the place where you want it to go to the toilet, and reward the dog in time after the dog has completed defecation. After such a cycle, the dog will form the habit of going to the toilet at a fixed point.

2. During this period, if the dog urinates and poops randomly, the owner needs to stop it in time and punish it, but cannot beat or scold the dog to avoid causing rebellious psychology. The moment the dog urinates, you can immediately pat the dog's head with your hand and reprimand it seriously to let the dog know that this is a place where it cannot excrete.

2. Use excretion inducers

1. The purpose of excretion inducers is to correct the bad habit of animals urinating everywhere. Therefore, if the owner finds training more troublesome, he can also eliminate the animals. The inducer is sprayed on the place where you want the dog to urinate regularly. When the dog smells the smell, it will fixate on this place to go to the toilet.

2. The effect of excretion inducer depends on the dog’s IQ and personality. Some dogs will obediently go to the toilet to excrete after their owners use the inducer, but some dogs have stubborn personalities. , may not obey the owner, so the owner still needs to spend more time to guide.
