How to teach a puppy to the toilet

So there was a long-awaited crumb in the house. And the first thing the kid did when he was lowered to the floor - left a puddle, innocently looking his new master in the eyes. Of course, you can not scold him: the puppy is very tiny, it's hard to endure (and does not know yet), but goes to the toilet often.

All would be nothing, but the problem of frequent cleaning is notpleases. How to teach a puppy to the toilet? Is it possible? It turns out - yes. Imagine: a crumb at the age of six months (and even earlier) begins to understand that you can only go to the toilet in a certain place. A rare puppy will leave a wet spot where he sleeps or eats. I suggest you three options for how to teach a dog to the toilet. The first option is longer and is intended for those dog breeders who are not at home all the time. The second one gives results much faster, but you need to stay at home without any visits. Well, the third combines both the first and second options. And especially suitable for small, decorative dogs. For puppies of large breeds it will not work. Choose the right one. Just to start, give the puppy a day or two to master the new space. So...

How to teach a puppy to the toilet? Option one. Notice where the puppy often goes to the toilet. Do not wipe the puddle. At this place, just put a dry cloth (or diaper). It is desirable that this was a place near the rug where the puppy sleeps. Why? Puppy, as soon as he wakes up, always looks for a place where to leave another puddle. The same need for him arises immediately after a meal. Take advantage of such features of the baby. As soon as the crumb awakes, put him on a rag. Do the same when he eats. The diapers need to be changed regularly (put dry in place of the wet ones), but do not need to wash them with soap or powder: the smell, even if subtle, should remain. This will be an incentive for the puppy. All the puddles and piles outside the diaper are removed and thoroughly washed (here the detergents do not interfere). As the pet grows and grows, the cloth is moved away from it and closer to the entrance door. And then completely clean. As soon as they noticed that the dog ran to the door and is looking for a familiar diaper, know: it's time for a walk.

Instead of rags, you can use diapers such as "Advance". These are absorbent diapers designed specifically for this purpose.

How to teach a puppy to the toilet? Option two. Here, too, the same knowledge of the digestive tract is used. Please note: the puppy must be constantly visible. We noticed that the baby woke up - immediately on the street. We fed the puppy - immediately on the street. And we walk until we see the "result". And he will. Puppies can not tolerate long. So their path is arranged. That is why, the smaller the age, the faster the puppy learns. As soon as the kid went to the toilet, praise him. Sincerely, briskly. Stroke. Play it. Let the kid know that you are happy with the perfect action. Puppy quite quickly begins to distinguish between menacing notes in your voice and peaceful, affectionate. And I will react accordingly. Do not punish the puppy for unexpected "surprises" at home: he is still so small ...

How to teach a puppy to the toilet? Option three. One of the interesting proposals on the veterinary market is the toilet for dogs. There are several such toilets (different manufacturers, different sizes and for different dogs). They come complete with absorbent diapers. Perhaps, for a start, it's better to choose something like "Savic Puppy Trainer", with low sides (it's very important for a small puppy), and later change the tray. Some dog breeders were involved in using cat's fillers. The idea is interesting. But for a small puppy is not suitable, because it can taste the filler filler.

To any of these options there are important additions:

- feed your puppy on a clear schedule;
- If you constantly can not follow the puppy, you can limit its space for a while until you are near.
