Key points for toilet training for adult dogs, check out these points
To be honest, compared with puppies, fixed-point training for urination and defecation in adult dogs is more difficult. Nevertheless, as long as you train patiently, adult dogs can be trained, that is, they need more time and energy:
1. Principles of indoor urination and defecation training for adult dogs
1. First, if an adult dog just enters the house, sometimes it will make your room mess and urinate and defecate all over the place because of no good habits. At this time, you should not punish it. Because an accident occurs, punish the dog, which can only make it nervous and beware of any actions you make at any time.
2. Pay attention to the defecation signal of adult dogs
When the dog suddenly lowers his head, smells it with his nose and is very nervous, it is often a signal of defecation. The owner should know the approximate time for adult dogs to defecate after a few days of observation. Once the dog wakes up, or after eating food and playing, and sends a bowel movement signal, the dog owner takes it to a place that has been selected and can make it relax.
Also remember to clean it after you come back. You should avoid surrounding the cage for a long time, which can easily cause the dog to defecate indoors.
3. Reward
When the dog defecates successfully, the dog mainly issues a "awesome" password and then rewards it. In this way, let the dog know that the defecation is at the designated location, and there will be a reward for delicious food, and the dog will pay attention next time.
2. What should I do if an adult dog keeps holding it in and does not excrete?
In addition, some adult dogs are used to urinating and defecating outdoors while walking their dogs. If adult dogs have developed this habit and are older, it is difficult for them to slap them at home, so don’t make it special.
But sometimes the weather is particularly bad and you can't go out, but the adult dogs keep holding it in. What should I do? We can stimulate dogs to excrete indoors through exercise.
If the dog keeps lying on his body, it can hold it in for a long time, so if the dog has not urinated or defecated for a day, you can find a toy it like, run with it at home, chase it back and forth, and let it move. Then take it to a place indoors where it can pee - such as a toilet or a terrace, lock it up there alone, and ignore it if it wants to come out. If you persist for a while, usually because of the day of holding it in and exercising, the big dog already has some urge to pee. If you lock it in a place where no one looks at it, it will pee.
3. Supplement:
1. When you are ready to release it, you must praise it. If you make the adult dog feel that it has done this, you will be very happy, so that it will accept this method next time.
2. If the dog you want to train is an adult dog that has not undergone home training before, you should treat new puppies when training.
