How to educate your dog to go to the bathroom?
Educating the puppy to do its needs in a single place is often a challenge for a new leader of the herd, but the process does not have to be stressful either for the human and not for the animal.
The truth is that this is a situation in which we have the help of Mother Nature working in our favor to train the puppies. When puppies are born, eat and do their necessities in the kennel, for example, the mother always cleans them. You never perceive the smell of urine or feces where puppies eat, sleep and live. When they grow up, they learn to use outside areas mimicking their mom.
In this way, all dogs are conditioned to never use their dens as a bath. From two to four months of age, most puppies learn the concept of training for cage use and to do their needs outside quite easily, that is partly due to their biological clock.
A positive factor that is already incorporated in the dog when it comes to training to do its needs is the canine digestive tract that is extremely fast and effective. Five to 30 minutes after the puppy eats, he'll want to defecate. Therefore, with a consistent meal schedule and your attention to the clock, your puppy can keep regular trips to the bathroom.
In the first days of training, you should also make sure that the puppy has a place to do their needs where it feels safe, a place that looks and smells familiar. Have you noticed how dogs often do their needs in the same place they did before? The reason is because the smell acts like a shot.
As always, remember that your own energy is a factor of utmost importance in your training efforts. If you feel nervous or impatient or try to rush a puppy to do their needs, it can also stress it. Using a loud or squeaky tone to encourage your puppy to "go to the bathroom" is a distraction for the dog, so try to avoid any kind of conversation.
Set up a structure and follow it. Locate the site where your puppy needs to meet and every day in the morning take it to the same place at the same time. Do the same thing every three or four hours and 20 minutes after the meal. Besides, if he's been sleeping for a couple of hours, when he wakes up he wants to go to the bathroom It is extremely important that you be consistent throughout the process so that the puppy can incorporate the new habit.
When your puppy has successfully made his needs it is important to reward his good behavior. It does not need to be a huge and noisy celebration, a simple calm approval or a candy can get you the message that you have done a good job.
Do not punish your dog for an accident, or do anything that could create in him a negative association with his bodily functions. Stay calm and positive, and drive the puppy calmly to the place where you want it to go.
If done correctly, the dog's training to do their needs should not be somewhat turbulent but just a matter of putting a little extra work for your puppy to accustomed to a program during the first weeks after his arrival at the house.
It does not allow the unnecessary tension on this process so natural and little complicated opaque the joy around the process of training the puppy and the puppy stage of his dog.
