How to train your dog to go to the diaper?

Having brought home a small puppy, the first thing the new owner does is to have a dog litter problem. In the ads for the sale of four-footed friends, it is indicated that the animal is already accustomed to the tray. But in fact, it often turns out to be the other way around. The doggie, once in a new habitat, begins to make puddles in all places, and some owners have doubts about the correctness of the decision to purchase a dog. But if you put your will into a fist and show patience, you can train your new pet to cope with needs in a special place.

The home toilet for dogs of all ages is available in several versions.

• unfolded sheet of newspaper;
• filler tray;
• diaper.

The proposed toilet designs have their pros and cons. The litter tray is primarily intended for the feline family, as they like to bury waste. Dogs lack this instinct. It is much easier for them to do their business on paper.

Diapers are the best option for a dog's litter box, they prevent unpleasant odors and are easy to wash and dry. But this option is only suitable for small dogs or puppies. It is best to install a tray for a psam with large dimensions. If a small puppy is to turn into a large dog, the diapers used by him will need to be transferred to the tray.With age, the dog will understand the principle of home toilet, will follow its own scent to relieve needs in the right place.

The process of house toilet training does not require the help of professional dog handlers. The newly minted owner can independently cope with the task. As an additional help, manufacturers release a huge variety of items and things.

Puppy diapers are especially popular. They have the smell of special enzymes that the puppy can clearly smell. In addition, they are disposable and reusable. Moreover, reusable options at their cost can slightly hit the pocket of the newly-made owner. Although, on the other hand, This is a one-time purchase, and having made a large investment once, you will no longer have to spend money on additional accessories.

Next, we suggest considering the important advantages of reusable diaper toilets so that you can assess in advance the acceptability of such a purchase:

• reusable diapers absorb moisture very well, every time the dog relieves on a dry surface;
• the fabric is treated with antibacterial and antifungal substances;
• each diaper easily withstands at least 300 washes in the washing machine;
• one square meter of a reusable diaper assumes the absorption of 2 liters of moisture, which is very convenient for owners of large dogs;
• the material from which the diaper is made has high strength, so the dog cannot accidentally break it;
• washing diapers in a washing machine should be done with a delicate cycle;
• The underside of the reusable nappies is made of non-slip material, so they adhere well to any surface.

Before embarking on the process of accustoming a dog to a diaper, its owner needs to be patient. It is important to remember that the work is carried out not with a doll, but with a living being, and it will not be possible to do without mistakes.

It is very important to observe the behavior of a four-legged friend. So it will turn out to find out in what place he likes to relieve himself. Perhaps it will turn out to be a dark corner of the room or the area near the window. There you will have to place a dog's toilet.

At first, the baby will not be able to do with only one place to relieve needs. Chances are high that he simply will not have time to reach the goal. For this reason diapers must be spread throughout the apartment.

If a small amount of time is allotted for the training of the puppy, you should limit the territory of movement of the animal. Immediately after feeding or sleeping, the baby must be quickly seated in the place where the diaper will be located. There the dog should be until it relieves itself. After the puppy can be released for a walk around the house.

When communicating with a puppy, it is necessary to direct the four-legged friend to the place with the diaper so that he can smell his own enzymes. It is very important for the owner to learn how to determine when the puppy wants to use the toilet. In most cases, dogs start spinning in one place, sometimes whining, often sniffing. If at least one of these signs appears, the dog needs to direct to the toilet.

It would be nice for a new owner to consult an experienced breeder and ask him what methods he used to train his four-legged friend to the toilet.

As an additional measure, you can use special products sold in pet stores. They are deterrent and attractive. Antipis products should be used to treat surfaces where the dog is strictly forbidden to relieve himself, especially when it comes to boys of two months of age.

Dogs are clean creatures. One-year-old dogs, puppies 2 months old and even elderly individuals will not go to the toilet near bowls of food and to a dirty place.Therefore, the diaper must be changed daily.

A properly designed diaper training plan will pay off very quickly.

The process of accustoming puppies to coping in a certain place should be started as early as possible. All their behavioral features are established up to 7 weeks. If by this moment the animal does not understand where it needs to be relieved, later training will be much more difficult.

In the first month of life, the baby does not really understand what is happening, and sits down wherever he wants. In this case, puppies are very much like human children. At first, the puppy will pee throughout the apartment, and not only on the floor, but, as expected, on the diaper. In a few weeks, things will start to change.

A soft, absorbent surface will appeal to a dog much more than a bare cold floor, where his paws become wet. So the dog will gradually begin to develop the habit of going to the toilet only in a designated place filled with comfort. Owners, in turn, it is necessary to praise a four-legged friend for the correct action, and after a couple of weeks the puppy will be specially sent to the diaper even at night.

At the age of two months, puppies begin to relieve themselves a little less often, namely after feeding, sleeping and at the end of games. The owner needs to put the puppy near the toilet immediately after these processes, but so that the animal independently approaches the diaper and does its business. If the dog understands the owner, he must be praised.

At the age of three months, the puppy must independently find the toilet, without human help. It is necessary to stop constantly dragging the dog to the diaper and gradually reduce the visit to the designated place to 2-3 times a day. Nappies spread throughout the house can be removed, leaving just one or two in different places just in case.

There are some rules to follow when training your puppy to the toilet.

• The dog needs to learn to obey the owner so that the dog can distinguish between severity in his voice and praise. The strict "no" or "fu" should become the law of prohibition for the pet.
• It is very important to reward your four-legged friend for good behavior and the right actions. This point is key not only for toilet training, but also in training.
• If the puppy flatly refuses to go to the diaper, it is necessary to look for another fabric material suitable for the home toilet.

The diaper training procedure for an adult dog is much easier than training a small puppy. Grown up dogs are able to endure for a long time until they find themselves on the street. In situations where animals become ill and cannot stand on their paws for a long time, absorbent devices have to be used. A similar method can be used when the owner does not have time to take the animal for a walk in the morning or in the evening.

Teaching an adult dog to go to the toilet on a diaper occurs gradually. Command voice cannot be used in the process. As soon as the owner saw that the pet is going to relieve himself, you need to tell the dog where to go for these matters. In this case, the location of the diaper should be constant. It is strictly forbidden to change its location. After the dog copes with the needs of the diaper, you should not immediately change it, it is necessary that it lie a little untouched. Thus, the dog remembers the correct location of the toilet and will subsequently follow the scent that is imperceptible to the human sense of smell.

In general, the process of accustoming dogs of different breeds to a home toilet does not differ, but there are still nuances that need to be listened to.

At an early age, representatives of these breeds have an accelerated metabolism. Accordingly, these dogs need to relieve themselves immediately after eating. To push the baby to the correctness of actions, you can pour warm water on the diaper and put the animal next to it so that he can feel the moistened matter near his paws. Thanks to the reflex, the puppy will surely relieve himself in the same place. Toy Terriers and Chihuahuas are quite sensitive to the mood of the owner.

If you express dissatisfaction in response to their wrong actions, they will very quickly understand the mistakes and try to correct them in order to please the owner.

These puppies need to be diaper trained using a partition. To some, this method may not seem humane, but in fact it is not. Being in a huge space, this adorable animal can spawn in the most inappropriate place.

Puppies of this breed are distinguished by their special curiosity and activity. They tend to climb all over the apartment. For this reason new owners will have to cover almost the entire floor in the house with diapers, or put up a fence, inside which several "toilets" will need to be laid out. So the baby will relieve himself without interrupting the gameplay. You can gradually remove one diaper per week so that there is only one absorbent surface.

Representatives of this breed are not easy creatures. Until the age of six months, husky puppies cannot independently control their needs. Up to 6 months, the puppies are cared for by their mother. If the separation from the mother occurred too early, the new owner will have to show great patience. Initially, huskies are toilet trained for newspapers. It is not recommended to use diapers, otherwise the dog will have a reflex to relieve himself on soft surfaces. They can start tagging bedding, sofa, carpets. But by nature, huskies are clean creatures.

These dogs are distinguished by a special mind. So during toilet training, you can immediately tell the puppy what they want from him. As soon as he begins to sit down on the floor to relieve himself, it is necessary to loudly say "no", grab the puppy in an armful and carry him to the diaper. It will take some time to keep the baby in the place reserved for the toilet until he does his job. If the process ends efficiently, the owner should show his approval.

Quite often, training a puppy to cope with needs in a certain place is not crowned with success. You should not look for the problem in the animal, first you need to look from the outside at the puppy's own manner of training and determine whether everything is being done correctly or not. Below is a list of common mistakes that most inexperienced breeders make.

• Lack of patience. Puppies are very much like small children. After active games, sleep, food, the animal needs to go to the toilet. Newly minted breeders are not always able to identify or catch these moments, and sometimes puppies, turning a corner, begin to relieve themselves on a clean floor. The owner needs to constantly monitor the pet and, seeing the urge to go to the toilet, take it to the place where it needs to be. You may have to sit next to him and not let him get off the diaper until he does the "wet" thing.
• Few diapers. In the first week of training the dog, it is necessary to cover most of the apartment with diapers. You will have to endure a little, since it is initially very difficult for a baby to run from one room to another in order to relieve himself, and he may simply not be able to bear it. A puppy in the first month of life is only studying the environment and may confuse a toilet diaper with a rag for cleaning floors. A similar surface confuses the dog. In this case, the pet owner's error is clearly visible. The rag must be removed from the floor.
• Lack of attention. Even the smallest four-footed friend demonstrates by his behavior that he needs to relieve himself. And as soon as the dog begins to show at least a hint of going to the toilet, it must be attributed to the diaper.
• Punishment for accidental mistakes. A small puppy needs to be treated with understanding. The main task of the owner is to teach the animal to relieve itself in the right place, and not to intimidate it. Seeing a puddle, you cannot physically punish a puppy. It is enough to say in a slightly raised tone that you cannot do this, to show your dissatisfaction.
• Accuracy of punishment. This rule should be given special attention to puppy owners. You can punish an animal for what is done in front of the owner within 15 seconds. After this time, the puppy will not understand why he is being displeased.
• Cleaning. Random puddles on the floor should be wiped up with a toilet accessory. This will help your dog understand the relationship between the puddle and the diaper. And after that, the crime scene itself should be washed with detergent so that no smell remains on the floor.
• Timely diaper change. You can not change the "toilet" immediately after relieving needs. It is important that some time has passed before the film can be replaced. And her scent will in any case remain in the right place.
• Upbringing. In the process of teaching the animal, the owner needs to gain his trust. The owner must independently determine what the pet wants to do. Such a relationship will help raise an intelligent and decent dog, achieve obedience and develop the right behavior.
