I. How old can a dog learn to defecate at a fixed point
Dogs within three months of age, It is the best age group for training fixed-point defecation. Puppies usually rarely go out, and they need to solve the defecation at home for a long time. Dogs in this age group are most likely to form good habits, so they must be grasped.
Three-month-old dogs can start training outdoor fixed-point defecation, because at this stage the dog has been dewormed and vaccinated, and can freely choose to keep at home or take it out for a walk every day.
If the dog has missed the best training time, pet owners don’t have to worry too much, because most dogs are very smart, as long as they are patiently and repeatedly trained, they will soon learn to defecate at a fixed point .
Second, how to train a dog to defecate at a fixed point?
Many people will find that dogs usually pee next to the peeing pad or next to the dog toilet. Choose a nearby place to defecate, but no matter how you move it, the dog’s defecation area is basically controlled in a certain place, and it will not be too far away.
Actually, the reason why dogs choose to defecate in a certain place is because of two factors: 1. This place makes me feel safe; 2. This place has the smell of my urine, I Should have a bowel movement here.
Therefore, we can give dogs fixed-point defecation training according to these characteristics.
First, control the dog to move in a specific area, which can be a balcony or a small room, and then cover it with urine pads
, so that the dog can only move and defecate in it. The number of pads is reduced by 1/4.
Continue to observe the dog’s defecation location. If the dog continues to defecate on the urine pad, reduce the number of urine pads every day. If the dog does not defecate on the urine pad, increase the number of urine pads appropriately until the dog can defecate on the urine pad. Control bowel movements on 1-2 pads.
Finally, let the dog out and move freely and try to move the pad to another place. If the dog habitually looks for the pad to defecate, it means that it has learned to defecate at a fixed point!
If the dog usually defecates in the designated place and suddenly poops everywhere, then it is probably because of the newly changed environment, Temporarily unsuitable, or suffering from digestive tract diseases, pet owners need to observe the dog’s mental state. If the dog has symptoms of diarrhea and soft stools, please consult a veterinarian in time.
