How to train your dog to go to the toilet on the street?

A pet requires attention, caring for him and a certain upbringing. If it comes to a dog, then before starting it, it is worth weighing the pros and cons, because the task is not an easy one to solve. When bringing an animal into the house, it is necessary to be aware that the pet needs to be taught the rules of behavior indoors and outside, to accustom to the schedule of feeding, sleeping and walking, in addition, an important issue will be the toilet, which is transferred from the apartment to the street by training.

A puppy can get into the house at very different ages, but the sooner this happens, the faster the animal will adapt to the new environment and its owner. Those dogs that are taken from a shelter or lived in another family, it is more difficult to go through the adaptation period, but with the right approach, it also ends successfully. Puppies have a small size not only of the body, but also of the internal organs, therefore it is very difficult for them to withstand a long time without a toilet, and there is still no conscious perception of the wrong action.

Up to 4 months of age, dogs are too small to require patience and only go to the toilet outdoors, therefore, the owner must think over the strategy of behavior during this period of time. In order for the training to take place correctly, it is important to start it from the first day the puppy arrives in the house. Step by step, the pet is instilled with certain rules, which, with constant repetition, are learned and followed later without any problems.

Going to the toilet indoors is an integral part of a little pet's life.However, even this stage must be controlled. Until the moment the dog grows up and begins to understand what they want from it, and can endure the walk, the dog must clearly learn the system of emptying its body.

To work out a certain algorithm of the dog's actions, it is worth adhering to this order.

• Feed your pet strictly on schedule. At the same time, make up a diet, including plant foods that increase intestinal motility and help you go to the toilet faster and easier.
• To prevent going to the toilet in the wrong place, you need to monitor the dog after eating and immediately respond to specific actions of the pet.
• When the puppy has reached 4-5 months of age, you need to walk with him in the morning, having previously fed him. Fresh air and active leisure should end with going to the toilet, after which you can return home. If the pet copes with the task, it must be praised.
• It is best to walk the same route, developing consistent habits in the dog, including bowel movements.

A good owner must know exactly all the nuances of raising and caring for a dog. When a small puppy appears in the house, you need to give him all the necessary vaccinations so that walking in the open air and contact with the outside world are safe for him. All medical procedures should be completed by about 2.6 months, after which you can make the first forays into the street. In a private house, this can be an exit to the courtyard and acquaintance with everything that is there, and then a walk outside it.

All dogs are biologically arranged in the same way, which means that their reaction to certain things is as close as possible. To determine if a puppy wants to go to the toilet, you just need to watch him carefully. The main signals will be:

• slowing down the step, stopping in some place, taking a strange and atypical pose for a while;
• whining of a pet, a plaintive look, going to a far corner in the room;
• fussy behavior, sniffing the surrounding space;
• low howl, request that the dog be released into the street.

If at least one of these signs was noticed, it is necessary to quickly go outside with the dog so that he can relieve himself outdoors. If you manage to respond to the dog's requests and signals on time and systematically, then very soon the animal will understand that the emptying of the body should be done only on the street. To make it easier to achieve going to the toilet, the dog needs to be walked after each feeding.

Training will take some time, and you will not be able to do without incidents, for which you need to be prepared. The puppy should be intelligibly explained what behavior is inappropriate, and scolded for non-observance of the order. Before you train your dog to go to the toilet on the street, you need to do some preparatory measures.

The first step is to determine where the little pet will relieve itself. If the toilet is in one place, then the animal will not spoil the floor or furniture when urinating, which will already be a significant step towards proper education.

A home toilet can consist of old rags, newspapers, or a litter box. The latter option is considered the most successful, as it imitates the environment that will become the main one for the pet in the future. If you use rags, the dog may confuse them with the material of sofas and armchairs and empty on furniture.

For the first weeks, it is advisable to use a moisture-absorbing diaper that will absorb urine well and will not exude an unpleasant odor. She will also allow the puppy to quickly find the place where he emptied and repeat the procedure in the same place.

To teach your pet to go to the toilet outdoors, the easiest step is to make frequent walking and motivation to empty... This option allows you to relatively quickly rebuild and relieve the need outdoors.

If it is not possible to devote the puppy all his time during the day, then it will be possible to wean from the diaper in stages. When taking your pet outside, it is worth taking with you the diaper on which the dog had previously emptied, and ask to repeat the same procedure. The more often this task is repeated, the faster the animal will figure out what is wanted from it.

Step-by-step instructions on this issue will look like this:

• arrange a place for a toilet in the room;
• train the dog to empty in a given place;
• establish a food and walking system;
• stimulate emptying during a walk;
• praise for fulfilling a requirement, scold for going to the toilet in the house;
• do not use aggression and physical violence.

If you systematically follow these principles, then the puppy, growing up, will quickly get used to going to the toilet on the street and will delight its owner with obedient behavior.

A small pet who is not yet accustomed to the manners and behavior of an adult should gradually learn the basics of training. The important point that worries the owner the most is going to the toilet. To quickly help your pet figure out exactly where to empty, it is worth for the first time to significantly limit its space... Fence off a small area, leaving room for a couch, toilet and some free space.

When the puppy wakes up, it will not empty itself in the place of its sleep, it will also be uncomfortable on the floor. But a moisture-absorbing diaper or specially laid rags will suit his taste. When the skill is fixed, you can gradually expand the boundaries of free space, and then completely remove the barrier.

If it is not possible to make a mini-aviary, then in the first weeks it will be necessary to lay out several makeshift toilets around the apartment or house in order to minimize emptying on the floor or other unwanted surfaces. As soon as the puppy understands exactly where to go to the toilet, it is necessary gradually reduce the number of toilets, leaving in the end one, the most popular with the pet.

If the puppy stubbornly does not want to empty on the diaper, you need to notice the moments when he is about to go to the toilet and quickly carry him to the place. After a successfully completed procedure, it is important to praise the pet, and in case of violation of the task, scold. With systematic training, very soon the puppy will understand what is required of him. As soon as the stage of toilet training in the house is passed, you can move on and master a new peak, going out into the street.

In the event that the desire to have a dog at home is very strong, and there is no time to walk it, you need to equip a permanent toilet for the pet right in the house. The training of the puppy is faster, since it does not yet have any established rules of behavior in such situations. In the case of an adult dog, you will have to sweat to teach him to walk to a clearly specified place, keeping the house clean.

To speed up this process, you can use the following guidelines.

• During the training process, it is important to constantly observe the pet and watch for the first signs of a desire to empty.
• Establish a diet so that the body works like a clock.
• To make your pet comfortable going to the toilet, it is important to buy him a convenient and high-quality litter box. The filling in it can be different, it is worth considering the wishes of the pet and adhering to them.
• Leaving the house, you need to leave the dog in the room where its toilet is.
• A dog unaccustomed to the litter box can give quite clear signals that he wants to go to the toilet, after which it is important to bring him to the litter box and give the command, which should become permanent.
• If your dog doesn’t understand what to do in the litter box, you can put paper or a rag soaked in his urine in it, which will tell the pet what to do.
• For a successfully completed command, it is important to praise the dog and treat him with something tasty.

Teaching an adult dog to go to the toilet will be much more time-consuming, but not useless. As soon as it is possible to establish the process with the tray, this stage can be considered complete. If it becomes possible to walk with the pet on the street, then it is necessary to gradually remove it, adhering to the same rules as in the case of training puppies.

In order for the process of toilet training to take place as quickly as possible, and the result was fixed in the dog in the form of correct actions, you need to know not only the sequence of actions, but also what the owner should not do in any case.

In training a dog, you cannot:

• use physical violence, as this does not contribute to learning, but can cause psychological trauma to the puppy;
• to be lazy and careless to work with the dog. If it was decided to have a pet, then you need to devote yourself entirely to this business, otherwise nothing will work;
• scolding a puppy for something that was done some time ago, all actions should be interpreted immediately. The pet is not able to understand why he is being scolded if a lot of time has passed since the moment of emptying in an unidentified place;
• scold the pet for not doing the job out of place, if he is sick, very afraid or was too happy;
• poking a puppy's nose into urine or feces will not help him to understand the incorrectness of his action;
• to quit training the dog halfway through - in this way, the result will definitely not be achieved.

Knowing the training methodology and not making mistakes, you can successfully train your puppy or adult pet to the toilet.

Each dog is individual, and you should not achieve results with only one method. For one pet, a certain technique may work, for another, you will have to choose a different one. The result will always be if the owner is diligent, takes his job responsibly and works with the dog every day from morning to evening.

Inexperienced breeders can make mistakes that they themselves are not aware of. To rectify the situation, it is worth enriching your knowledge, reading literature, watching relevant master classes, and talking with more experienced colleagues. If these actions did not help, then you need to contact to qualified dog handlers, which will help in training, and at the same time increase the level of knowledge and skills of the owner himself, for whom it will be much easier to work in the future.

To train your dog to go to the toilet outdoors, you can use the recommendations of experienced dog breeders.

• The first walks should be in a quiet and calm environment, so that nothing interferes with the dog's frolic and emptying.
• To reinforce the habit, it is important to drive the puppy along the same routes and ask him to go to the toilet in the same places. The smell of urine instinctively makes the animal repeat the procedure in the same place.
• After the first trips to the street in order to go to the toilet, you do not need to remove the diaper from the house - for some time the puppy will empty itself in both places.
• If the dog is very emotional and can describe with joy, then you need to teach him the command to "sit" in order to calm the pet and minimize his active actions, which lead to urinary incontinence.
• If the puppy is excited about the upcoming walk, leash or dressing owner, you need to prepare to go out quietly, preferably so that the dog does not see it.
• The first time on a walk, you need to take a notebook with you in order to write down what time the walk was, when exactly the dog was emptied. Consistency and schedule will speed up the training process.
• A positive attitude towards the success of the pet, praise, approval and treats from the owner are the most important for the dog, so do not forget to celebrate the successes of your four-legged friend.

Those who start dogs without preparation, doom themselves to torment with a naughty dog, which they later abandon. A real dog breeder must love his pet, devote himself entirely to him, teach all the necessary commands and protect him from dangerous situations. A good pet is the result of long and serious work of its owner.
