How to teach dogs to go to the toilet? This is a compulsory course for every new cat shoveler. In fact, the methods are nothing more than reward training and the use of excretion inducers. The specific choice depends on the cat shoveler himself. If you have enough time, it is better to train yourself.

1. Reward and punishment training

1. Generally, dogs will have the desire to go to the toilet within half an hour after eating. The owner can pay attention to observation. If you find that the dog is wandering, constantly sniffing, and sinking its buttocks, it means that the dog needs to defecate. At this time, the owner needs to take the dog to the place where you want it to go to the toilet immediately, and reward it in time after the dog defecation is completed. With this cycle, the dog will develop the habit of going to the toilet at a fixed location.

2. During this period, if the dog urinates randomly, the owner needs to stop it in time and punish it, but he cannot beat and scold the dog to avoid causing rebellious psychology. You can immediately pat the dog's head with your hands and scold it seriously when the dog urinates, so that the dog knows that this is a place that cannot be excreted.

2. Use excretion inducer

1. The purpose of excretion inducer is to correct the bad habit of animals in urine and defecation. Therefore, if the owner finds training more troublesome, he can also spray the excretion inducer in the place where the dog wants to be discharged. When the dog smells this smell, it will be fixed to the toilet.

2. The effect of excretion inducers also depends on the dog's IQ and personality. Some dogs will go to the toilet to excrete after their owners use the inducers, but some dogs are stubborn and may not obey their owners, so the owners still need to spend more time to guide them.

In short, using both methods, you can quickly teach your dog to go to the toilet.
