The Correct Method to Use a Teddy Dog Toilet
Teddy
Since Teddy dogs are more suitable for keeping at home, many pet owners hope their Teddy dogs can relieve themselves indoors. For many novice pet friends, training a Teddy dog to urinate and defecate at a fixed spot can be difficult. So how can the Teddy dog toilet be correctly used?
1. Conventional Teddy urination and defecation training method
First, we need to look at how big the Teddy dog is. Generally, it is best to start training Teddy puppies to urinate and defecate regularly at a fixed place after five months old. First, ensure there is enough time to understand its toileting patterns and signs before it goes. Once the pattern is found, training becomes easier. If you don't have time, you can use another method to confine it. Use an airline carrier if possible; otherwise, a wooden box or cardboard box will do. The size only needs to be enough for it to lie down. Put it inside and ignore it.
Each time you let it out, take it directly outside and give it enough time to relieve itself. If it urinates or defecates outside, promptly reward it with food. If it eliminates in places other than the designated spot, scold it loudly but do not hit it. This method may take a longer time and requires patience. Lastly, keep in mind the dog's habit: dogs do not relieve themselves where they eat or sleep, and generally do so just after waking up or finishing a meal. Mastering this routine should help develop good habits for the Teddy dog.
2. Common mistakes in urination and defecation training
Some people believe that when a Teddy dog urinates or defecates indiscriminately, it must be punished immediately, such as pushing the dog's head to smell the odor and scolding the Teddy dog to let it know not to eliminate indiscriminately. But in fact, this is a huge mistake. Although the dog is punished, it cannot understand human logic or reflect on itself not to relieve indiscriminately.
The correct approach is to immediately take the dog to another room, and the owner silently cleans up the urine, removing the odor. Most of the reasons dogs fail to learn proper toileting are due to free movement inside rooms without a fixed dog house. Finding the exact cause is key to better training the Teddy dog to learn how to urinate and defecate properly. (Source: PetsZone)
