In order to cooperate with the prevention and control of the epidemic, many citizens who keep pets are isolated at home. For dog owners, the most headache is the dog's defecation problem. How do dogs defecate at home? The following are some of the experiences of pet lovers.

1. Prepare urine pads and dog toilets

You can use a fence to enclose a larger space (or balcony), put the dog toilet, and cover other places with urine pads. Changing pads are the key to success.

2. Understand the timing of the puppy going to the toilet

Usually the puppy starts to defecate 15-30 minutes after eating or drinking, or there is time to stare and observe. If it keeps smelling the floor as it walks, it's looking for a place to go to the toilet, and that's when it's time to take it to our prepared area.

How

3. Guidance and reward

When we find out the time when the dog needs to go to the toilet, we can guide it to the dog toilet, but this requires patience. At the beginning, it will definitely not be obedient to pee in the toilet. If you want to escape, as long as you don't go to the toilet, let him repeat it many times. When you enter the dog toilet, you will pee in it if you can’t hold it in (the dog toilet is covered with a urine pad and smells better the second time), then you should reward it, praise it, touch it, and let it know to defecate in the toilet It will be rewarded, and then continue to train for the next week, and the dog will be able to establish this good habit.

If you don't have time and energy to stare and guide, then put it in the arranged bowel movement area after eating, let it out and reward it as soon as it defecates on the pad, then slowly reduce urine The number of pads, remember to give a reward every time you defecate in the right place. The number of urine pads gradually decreases, and it is successful when only one is left. Finally, you can put the pad in the dog toilet, or you can use the pad to defecate directly.
