Having a cute pet at home, the biggest concern is often hygiene, especially about the pet’s defecation and urination habits. Even Huskies, known for their cleanliness, are no exception and need proper training to learn to go at designated spots. Below is an introduction on how to train Huskies to defecate and urinate at designated spots:

　　It is best to start training Huskies to go at designated spots from a young age. Even for humans, many habits are formed based on early life experiences, and it is the same for dogs. Starting training early helps to form good hygiene habits.

　　Next, it is important to believe that Huskies are naturally clean, but forming good hygiene habits cannot rely on instinct alone. All habits require a gradual process, so sufficient care and patience are needed when training them to go at designated spots.

　　Guidance is necessary for designated bathroom spots. We know animals tend to stay in areas with their own scent, so to guide Huskies to go at designated spots, place items scented with their urine, such as newspapers, at the designated locations.

　　The bathroom location must be fixed. Since the goal is to train for designated spots, frequently changing locations makes it difficult for dogs to develop the habit and may lead to bad behavior like urinating or defecating anywhere.

　　The habit formation process also requires appropriate rewards and punishments. Especially when they go outside the designated spots, punishments should be given so that the dog realizes that violating the rules is unacceptable.

　　In fact, animals, like humans, learn many actions by imitation. For puppies separated from their mother at an early age, training certain habits requires plenty of patience.
