1. Why don’t dogs want to go to the toilet at home?
Dogs refuse to go to the toilet at home mainly because under the long-term training of their owners, dogs have become accustomed to solving problems of urination and defecation in the outdoor environment, and go to the toilet in a familiar outdoor environment , will make the dog feel more relaxed and safe.
In addition, if the dog urinates indiscriminately at home, he will be reprimanded by the owner, so the dog does not dare to go to the toilet at home.
Finally, the dog will separate the eating and sleeping area from the defecation area. If the pet owner places the dog toilet close to the eating area, the dog may be reluctant to go to the toilet.
Second, what should I do if the dog is quarantined at home and can’t poop?
1. Laying pads
The owner can prepare a dog-exclusive toilet for the dog in the bathroom. If there is a dog toilet that the dog used when he was a child, turn it over and continue to use it , if not, you can choose diapers or newspapers to spread on the ground, let the dog defecate on it, the dog will keep spinning in circles before going to the toilet, and then keep smelling on it. At this time, we can walk a little further and let the dog relax. Shhhh.
2. Leave pheromones
If the dog cannot accept the temporary toilet you arranged, the pet owner can sprinkle a little dog’s urine on the urine pad, so that there are dogs on it. Because dogs usually defecate in places with the smell of their own urine, if there is no dog urine at home, you can wipe the dog’s anus and urethra with a wet wipe, and then wipe it on the urine pad.
3. Simulate the natural environment
Some dogs are very stubborn and only willing to urinate in places with grass and soil. In this case, we can buy some fake turf from the Internet , and then find a way to collect some leaves, dust, sand and other items. In special cases where you can’t go out, you should sacrifice some of the green plants at home, and arrange a place similar to the outdoor natural environment for the dog in the corner. Dogs can defecate in peace.
4. Let the dog drink more water
During the quarantine period, if the dog cannot go to the toilet, they may hold it for a long time, and then they will not dare to eat or drink for a long time. It has a great impact on the health of the dog, so we should make the dog drink as much water as possible. When the dog can’t hold back and wants to urinate, massage its belly properly, so that the dog can urinate more easily.
It is not only a problem for a dog to go to the toilet at home for a long time, but it will also affect the dog’s mood if he does not go out or exercise for a long time, and it is easy to demolish the house. At this time, we should not blame or punish the dog. Spend some time playing games with your dog to help him relax.
