How to teach the dog to the toilet?

People who first decided to start a dog at home, more often than not, that at first they will have to face some difficulties in her upbringing, do not think about it. One of the most exciting owners of problems is how to accustom a dog to the toilet, because it is not always possible to walk it in time. In addition, walks on the street at certain periods are prohibited (animal disease, in periods before and after vaccination).

It is very important to teach the dog to go to the toilet, but this process is quite long and requires angelic patience. And it's not a secret that these animals are smart and easily trained, but effective training of the dog to the toilet will require repeated repetition and fixing of the skill. Penalties for puddles appearing on the floor should not be physical. From the method of "whip" it is better to refuse in this matter at all. Patience, affection and your perseverance are the components of a successful learning of a pet.

Important rules

To start, the puppy should show his territory, that is, determine the boundaries where he will spend most of the time. Today in pet stores you can easily buy metal fences, the height of which is about half a meter. In the apartment, determine the room where the pet will live, and install in the doorway this fence. The master can easily cross it, but for the dog it will serve as a barrier. Thus, to teach a dog to the toilet will be much easier, since the area of ​​harvesting will be significantly reduced.

To the animal quickly learned hygiene lessons, in the room where he lives, you need to remove all carpets and carpet tracks. It is their puppy and perceives as an excellent place for the toilet. If he ever pisses on the rug, you can safely throw it away, because even the most thorough washing will not get rid of the carpet from the smell. And this smell is a reminder for the puppy that you can write here.

When the room is prepared, it's time to organize a home toilet for dogs, which can be a regular tray with a pallet. Here's your dog went to the toilet at home in the wrong place. Dampen a piece of tissue with her urine and put it in the tray. The puppy should react to this smell. But do not expect him to run there at once. After feeding the animal wait for 10-20 minutes, and take it to the tray. If the puppy pisses, caress it, letting know that he did everything right. Did the dog go to the toilet before you arrived? Take the animal to the tray anyway. The training process for the puppy is quite complicated, so do not despair and do not poke the animal with a nose in a puddle.

To fix the "reflex" in a few days, close the puppy in the toilet after feeding. So you will inform him that there is only one way out - to go into the tray. It also happens that the puppy closed in the toilet continues to write stubbornly on the floor. Lay the floor with newspapers, and each subsequent day, clean one at a time to keep the area to a minimum. In a few weeks, even the most stubborn dog will learn to walk in the tray.

Toilet with a "zest"

The instinct of the dog is designed to go to the toilet in nature. Of course, to plant a lawn in the apartment is too much, but it is quite possible to buy a toilet with a weed for dogs. This is an excellent solution for small dogs of decorative breeds. A toilet for dogs with grass is a regular tray that is covered with a rug simulating grass. In the kit, in addition to the tray and grill, usually includes an absorbent cloth that allows you to get rid of the persistent and unpleasant odor of canine feces. But if you could not find such a napkin, ordinary newspapers will also fit.
