Schnauzer fixed-point defecation training method

Schnauzer fixed-point defecation training method:

1. Prepare a dog toilet or urine pad and put it in the toilet at home. Dogs are not born knowing to defecate on dog toilets or pee pads, they need to be guided by their owners. Put the dog toilet or urine pad in the toilet, and it is best not to have other sundries next to the dog toilet, so as not to disturb the dog. In addition, don’t put the dog toilet or urine pad next to the kennel. Generally, clean dogs will not defecate next to the kennel.

2. When the dog just wakes up or defecates within 10-20 minutes after a meal, or keeps sniffing, take it to the toilet immediately. To train fixed-point urination and defecation, the key is to master the dog's defecation law. Puppies are not fully developed and have poor tolerance. Generally, they want to defecate 10-20 minutes after waking up or eating a full meal. Adult dogs are more tolerant, but when they want to defecate, they will keep sniffing and circling on the ground to find a place to defecate. Of course, puppies also have similar movements before defecating. When they want to defecate, they should be taken to the dog toilet immediately. You can use treats to lure the dog to follow you.

3. The dog may not feel like going to the dog toilet when it first arrives, so wait patiently. When he has the desire to defecate, he is interrupted and taken to the dog toilet. It will take a little time for him to regain his defecation desire. At this time, the owner just needs to stand by and wait patiently. You can stand at the door of the toilet and block the door with your body to prevent it from coming out, but don't look at it during the period, and let it regain the desire to defecate by itself.

4. When the dog starts to defecate, add the password "poop/pee pee", and reward it with snacks after defecating. When it defecates, you can add the password "poo/pee", and then you can use the password to guide it to defecate at a fixed point. Reward your dog with a treat as soon as he has finished defecating. It is best to use more snack rewards at the beginning, and after a period of time, you can replace part of the snack rewards with praise and petting.

5. During the period, if the dog urinates in the wrong place, the owner should clean it up silently. If the dog urinates on the floor, the owner should take it away from the scene first, and don't let it see the owner cleaning up the toilet. After cleaning up the urine and urine on the floor, be sure to cover the smell with a scented agent, otherwise the dog will continue to defecate in this place after smelling the smell.

6. Repeat the training many times. A dog's IQ is about the same as that of a child, so you can't ask it to learn something just once. To train a dog to defecate at a fixed point, the most important thing is for the owner to be patient and practice repeatedly for many days before it can really learn.
