Imagine every time you get home from work, there are dog messes everywhere, dragging a tired body, and you have to deal with these troubles, greatly reducing the happiness of raising pets.
Therefore, the first lesson in training dogs is to teach them to solve defecation and urination at a fixed time.
There is a friend who is struggling with the problem of training dogs to defecate and urinate. A friend's family breeds a husky, which is one of the most personality-rich dog breeds, and the two huskies have poor obedience. The owner tries desperately to make the dog learn to solve its defecation and urination during the dog-walking period, but the dog refuses to cooperate, no matter how long it takes to take it out, the dog will not solve its defecation and urination, and it will always wait until it gets home to solve it.
The friend was very angry every time he saw the dog defecating and urinating in the house, he grabbed his shoe and beat the dog several times, but it had no effect.

When it comes to training dogs to defecate and urinate, relying on beating is not the solution.
Optimal training time
When a dog is bought home, its age is usually around 3-4 months. At this stage, you can treat them like babies, and they are not in control of defecation and urination. As soon as they have a thought to defecate or urinate, they will do it locally.
Newly arrived puppies are particularly fond of defecating and urinating indiscriminately, this behavior is to demarcate their territory.
At this stage, the owner's idea is that training dogs to defecate and urinate is useless, which is a mistake. If left unchecked, the dog will develop a habit of defecating and urinating indiscriminately, and it will be much harder to correct later.Editor search for images

Puppies have traceable defecation habits, generally in the morning after waking up, feeding, or before going to sleep, the owner should observe the dog's defecation habits, and before the dog wants to defecate, take it to a fixed place to solve its defecation and urination, and then give it a reward, so that the dog knows from an early age that defecating and urinating indiscriminately will receive positive feedback.

In the fence, place some snacks that the dog likes, so that the dog gets used to the environment in the fence.
- After the dog gets used to the fence, lay newspapers or diapers inside, and when the dog wants to defecate, take it into the fence immediately
- After the dog finishes defecating and urinating, give it a reward, repeat several times, and then open the door of the fence directly, and when the dog has a tendency to release, it will run in itself
- For training defecation, the owner should treat it like a child, not afraid of dirt, be patient, and don't rush things, and don't solve it by beating
