"Toilet" problem or how to teach a dog not to get dirty in the house. Read the tips offered by the dog handler on how you can train your dog to toilet on the street, even if it is already an adult or very small The time during which the dog stops learning to do his "business" in the apartment (go to the toilet in the apartment, anywhere) depends on such factors as the living conditions of the animal, its physiological characteristics and, of course, the behavior of the owner. Normally, this is an age from 6 months to 1, 5 years. However, more and more often, owners complain that their pets, being already adults, are still "hooligans" in the house. Let's look at the reasons for such obscene behavior.
Many owners know that the puppy should be taken outside as often as possible. Especially, a walk after sleeping and feeding is obligatory. But in practice, many of them, withstanding post-vaccination quarantine, first start walking with a puppy at the age of 3-4 months. And during this time, the dog already perfectly learns where its toilet is and then it becomes very difficult to retrain it. Therefore, take your puppy for a walk! Quarantine is about avoiding contact with other dogs, not confinement in four walls for three months. And do not forget to praise your little one every time he “went to the toilet” on the grass. By the way, you can also enter at this moment such a command as "do" and when he learns it, the likelihood that unauthorized puddles of urine will appear in your house will drop sharply.
Many owners complain that there is absolutely nowhere to go out with the dog during the quarantine period. There is no park nearby, there are no clean zones either, and there are a lot of stray dogs. In this case, train the puppy to the litter box, and it will be better if you pour earth into the litter box. Then the dog will quickly get used to it on the street. It is not difficult to accustom. You just need to closely monitor the puppy. As they saw that the baby was fussing, sniffing, spinning, they immediately carried it to the tray. To begin with, make the tray larger, you can simply lay a plastic wrap, and pour earth on top. And why more is so as not to let the puppy out of the corner equipped in this way until he "works a miracle". And do not forget to sincerely rejoice at this "miracle". The owners ask if it is possible to punish the dog for dirtying the house. Can. But only if the "crime" is happening before your eyes. If more than 10 seconds have passed, then the animal will no longer link your punishment with its actions. Yes, it will be frightened by your tone and even pretend to be “guilty”, but in reality it will only learn one thing: did the “thing” and run.
How to train an adult dog to toilet outdoors
What about an adult dog? If the case is neglected, then try the following: cover the entire floor with newspapers in one room and do not let the dog out of there while it is in the apartment. Thus, she has no choice but to "use" them. Over time, you will see that the animal prefers a certain angle, and then begin to slowly remove excess newspapers. In the end, there will be only one left. Here with her, then you will go out victoriously into the yard and lay on the grass. As a rule, after such a long procedure, most dogs still learn where to "go on business."
I would like to warn you about one more thing: frequent urination or defecation can indicate health problems, so before starting educational measures, visit your veterinarian.
