Training dogs to defecate at fixed points and times is actually not difficult. Friends who have raised dogs should know that dogs are very clean animals. They dislike defecating or urinating in places where they usually sleep and eat. Today, the editor from Boqi Network will talk about the precautions for training dogs to defecate at fixed points and times. Let's take a look.

When taking your dog to the toilet, do not hold it; use a leash to lead it there. This helps the dog quickly become familiar with the route to the toilet. Also, do not let the dog roam freely once you arrive at the toilet area. You must keep an eye on the dog while it defecates, so the dog understands: "No freedom if you don't defecate here right now."

Dogs often want to go to the toilet after eating or waking up. If the dog is pacing in place at this time, it is likely searching for a place to urinate. At this time, you might say "wait a moment" or "no," then immediately lead it to the designated toilet area, only letting it go out after it has finished urinating.

If you find the dog defecating outside the designated area, never "tolerate" it. Instead, loudly say "no" at the spot where the dog "offended" and gently tap the dog's backside so it understands it did something wrong. Additionally, be sure to quickly clean up the defecation, and thoroughly sanitize the area because places where a dog has urinated once will retain a special scent, which may encourage the dog to defecate there again. If the dog performs very well by using the fixed toilet area, don't forget to reward it by petting and praising loudly.

In short, it is important to grasp the dog's "two fixeds": fixed location and fixed time. With persistent training, the dog will eventually go to the toilet by itself.

As mentioned at the beginning, dogs care deeply about their own kennel and will never urinate there. Usually, they choose a toilet spot far from their nest. Therefore, to prevent the dog from dirtying the house, you must first choose a good place for the toilet.

1. Outdoors: You can use the balcony or yard, laying artificial turf or newspapers to serve as the dog's toilet. Artificial turf can be washed with water directly and disinfected by sunlight, which is very convenient. Even dogs living indoors should be trained to use the outdoors for toilet purposes as much as possible.

2. Indoors: Usually in a corner of a room, corridor, or bathroom, placing a basket or dog litter box can serve as a toilet. But since dogs dislike wetting their feet, newspapers should be laid to absorb urine so that the dog's feet don't get wet.

Additionally, when taking the dog outside, it is best to prepare some newspapers or plastic bags to conveniently dispose of the dog's feces into trash bins or flower beds. While loving your dog, do not forget the environment.

These are the precautions for training dogs to defecate at fixed points and times. Hopefully, this can help everyone.
