It is a common topic for dogs to defecate and urinate at home, and many shoveling officials must have broken their hearts. What about random urination of dogs? Today, Dr. E will teach you the trick of making dogs defecate at fixed points!
Dogs defecate everywhere, for a reason!
1 occupied site
Dogs are territorial animals. In order to swear their "sovereignty", TA may urinate at home for marking. Most of this kind of disorderly urine appears in the edge area such as the door and corner of the house.
2 Estrus
When a dog is in heat, the urine contains a lot of hormone substances, and the dog will spread its own information to the surrounding area through the way of urine marking, so that more dogs know their existence. Estrus dogs are more anxious. If they cannot go out to pee, they will choose to pee at home!
3 sick.
Dogs with urinary tract diseases can urinate frequently because they cannot hold their urine. The amount of urine each time is very small, but the number of urinations is large. Dogs will also feel uncomfortable due to pain when urinating. If this happens to the dog at home, the shoveling officer had better take the dog to the hospital for examination.
4 Expression of emotion
1) Excited.
Some dogs will urinate when they are overexcited because they can't control their urine, such as when playing games or when the shoveler just comes home. It is especially common in some female dogs that are sterilized earlier, because sterilization will affect the secretion of estrogen, resulting in dogs unable to hold their urine. Old dogs and puppies are also easy to control urination due to physiological reasons.
(2) Anxiety
When the dog feels anxious or afraid, it will easily urinate in the place where the smell of the shoveling officer remains, so as to attract the attention of the shoveling officer. The shoveling officer who has this kind of situation should reflect on whether he cares too little about dogs or ignores TA because there are other dogs in the family.
5 Reasons for Shovel
Some shoveling officers will beat and scold the dog after the dog makes a mistake, or punish the dog after the dog urinates everywhere. These incorrect education methods will cause pressure on the dog, not only can't teach the dog well, but will make the dog urinate and defecate everywhere more and more serious.
Learn the trick, let the dog fixed-point defecation is not difficult
Whether it is to correct the dog's random defecation behavior or the dog who has just arrived home needs to be trained in fixed-point defecation, the shoveling officer needs to be guided in the right way. Next, Dr. E will teach everyone how to train dogs to defecate at fixed points:
1 Fence training method
The fence training method is suitable for small dogs or medium and large dogs under 12 weeks of age. For dogs who have just arrived home, the first step in training TA fixed-point defecation is to narrow the scope of daily activities of dogs.
Here are the specific steps:
2 Newspaper training methods
For older or larger dogs, fences cannot restrict the dog's activities, so newspaper training is more appropriate. First of all, the shoveling officer needs to choose a good place to let the dog go to the toilet and spread the newspaper.
The specific steps are as follows:
Matters needing attention in the training of shoveling officer
To achieve better training results, pet owners should also keep the following points in mind during training:
1 Do not rush your dog to relieve itself.
Dogs only excrete when they are relaxed, so putting the dog in the toilet to force it to poop, or watching the dog constantly urge it to defecate are unreliable methods. At this time, the language and actions of the shoveling officer will make the dog lose concentration and think you want to play with him.
2 Use inducers appropriately
By nature, dogs mark their territory by overlaying their urine on top of others’—a form of communication. Urine attractants exploit this very behavior. Most inducers contain synthetically produced dog urine compounds that mimic the pheromones emitted in urine. It is still very helpful to train puppies from an early age to eliminate in designated areas.
3 Do not punish the dog.
If your dog still hasn’t learned to potty properly and occasionally goes outside the designated “potty area,” you should continue training with patience and avoid punishing your dog. If you scold or punish your dog, it may associate the frightening experience with going to the bathroom, making it even harder to teach it to eliminate in the designated spot.
4 Keep your distance from dogs picking up feces.
After your dog has eliminated, the pet parent should first carry the dog outside the pen before cleaning up the waste inside. Don't pick up the dog's excrement directly while the dog is still in the pen, because this will make the dog think you are playing with it and make a mess of the cage!
