How to teach a dog to go to a diaper?

Bringing a small puppy home, the new owner first of all has a problem with the dog’s toilet. The advertisements for the sale of four-legged friends indicate that the animal is already accustomed to the tray. But in fact, often everything is the other way around. Doggie, having got into a new habitat, begins to make puddles in all places, and some owners have doubts about the correctness of the decision to purchase a dog. But if you gather your will into a fist and show patience, you will be able to teach your new pet to cope with the need in a special place.

A home toilet for dogs of any age is available in several versions.

• the expanded sheet of the newspaper;
• tray with filler;
• diaper.

The proposed toilet designs have their pros and cons. A tray with a filler is more suitable for representatives of the cat family, since they like to bury waste products. Dogs have no such instinct. It is much easier for them to do their business on paper.

Diapers are the best option for a dog’s toilet; they prevent the formation of an unpleasant odor; they are easy to wash and dry. But this option is suitable only for small dogs or puppies. Large dogs are best placed on a tray. If a small puppy is to become a large dog, the diapers used by him will need to be transferred to the tray.With age, the dog will understand the principle of a home toilet, will follow its own smell to cope with the need for the right place.

The process of training a dog for a home toilet does not require the help of professional dog handlers. The new owner can independently cope with the task. As an additional aid, manufacturers produce a huge variety of items and things.

Diapers for puppies are especially popular. They have the smell of special enzymes that are brightly felt by the puppy. In addition, they are disposable and reusable. Moreover, reusable options at their cost can slightly hit the pocket of the new owner. Although, on the other hand, this is a one-time purchase, and having made a large investment once, you will no longer have to spend money on additional accessories.

Next, we propose to consider the important advantages of reusable diaper toilets so that you can pre-evaluate the acceptability of such a purchase:

• reusable diapers absorb moisture very well, each time the dog relieves need on a dry surface;
• the fabric is treated with antibacterial and antifungal substances;
• each diaper easily withstands at least 300 washings in the washing machine;
• one square meter of reusable diaper involves the absorption of 2 liters of moisture, which is very convenient for owners of large dogs;
• the material from which the diaper is made has high strength, so the dog will not be able to accidentally break it;
• washing the diapers in the washing machine should be done in a delicate mode;
• the bottom side of reusable diapers is made of non-slip material, so they are well held on any surface.

Before proceeding with the process of accustoming the dog to the diaper, its owner needs to be patient. It is important to remember that the work is carried out not with a doll, but with a living creature, and you can’t do without mistakes.

It is very important to observe the behavior of the four-legged friend. It will turn out to find out in what place he likes to relieve himself. Perhaps this will be the dark corner of the room or the area near the window. There you have to put a dog toilet.

At first, the baby will not be able to get by with just one place to cope with needs. It is likely that he simply will not have time to reach the goal. For this reason diapers must be spread throughout the apartment.

If a small amount of time is allocated for training the puppy, the territory of the animal's movement should be limited. Immediately after feeding or sleeping, the baby must be quickly put in the place where the diaper will be located. There, the dog should be there until it relieves need. After the puppy, you can let go for a walk around the house.

During communication with the puppy, it is necessary to direct the four-legged friend to a place with a diaper so that he smells his own enzymes. It is very important for the owner to learn how to determine when the puppy wants to use the toilet. In most cases, dogs begin to spin in one place, sometimes whine, often sniff. If at least one of these signs appears, the dog must direct to the toilet immediately.

It would be nice for a new owner to seek the advice of an experienced breeder and find out from him what methods he used to accustom his four-legged friend to the toilet.

As additional measures, you can use special products sold in pet stores. They are frightening and attractive. Antipis products should be used to treat surfaces where the dog is strictly forbidden to relieve themselves, especially when it comes to boys of two months of age.

Dogs are clean creatures. One-year-old dogs, puppies of 2 months and even elderly individuals will not go to the toilet near food bowls and in a dirty place.Therefore, the diaper must be changed daily.

A correctly drawn up plan to teach a puppy to a diaper will bear fruit very quickly.

The process of training puppies to cope with a need in a particular place must begin as early as possible. All their behavioral characteristics are established up to 7 weeks. If at this point the animal does not understand where it is necessary to relieve the need, later training will be much more difficult.

In the first month of life, the baby does not really understand what is happening, and sits down wherever he wants. In this case, puppies are very much like human children. At first, the puppy will relieve itself throughout the apartment, and not only on the floor, but also, as expected, on the diaper. And in a few weeks everything will begin to change.

The soft absorbent surface will appeal to the dog much more than the bare cold floor, where its paws become wet. So the dog will gradually begin to develop the habit of going to the toilet only in a designated place filled with comfort. Owners, in turn, praise the four-legged friend for the right action, and after a couple of weeks, the puppy will specially go to the diaper on his own even at night.

At the age of two months, puppies begin to relieve themselves a little less often, namely after feeding, sleeping and at the end of games. The owner needs to put the puppy near the toilet immediately after these processes, but so that the animal independently approaches the diaper and does its work. If the dog understands the owner, it must be praised.

At the age of three months, the puppy must independently find the toilet, without the help of a person. It is necessary to stop constantly dragging the dog to the diaper and gradually reduce the visit to the designated place to 2-3 times a day. The diapers spread throughout the house can be removed, just in case, leaving only one or two pieces in different places.

When accustoming a puppy to a home toilet, some rules must be followed.

• The dog needs to learn to obey the owner, so that the dog distinguishes between severity in voice and praise. Strict “no” or “fu” should become a prohibition law for a pet.
• It is very important to encourage a four-legged friend for good behavior and correctly done actions. This item is the key not only for toilet training, but also in training.
• If the puppy categorically refuses to go to the diaper, you need to look for another fabric material suitable for a home toilet.

The process of accustoming to the diaper of an adult dog is much simpler than training a small puppy. Grown dogs can endure for a long time until they are on the street. In situations where animals become sick and cannot stand on their feet for a long time, you have to use absorbent devices. A similar method can be used when the owner does not have time to take the animal out for a walk in the morning or evening.

Accustoming an adult dog to go to the toilet on a diaper occurs gradually. You cannot use a team voice in the process. As soon as the owner saw that the pet was going to help, you need to tell the dog where to go for these things. In this case, the location of the diaper should be constant. It is strictly forbidden to change its location. After the dog has mastered the need for a diaper, you should not immediately change it, it is necessary that it lie a little untouched. Thus, the dog remembers the correct location of the toilet and subsequently will follow the fragrance imperceptible to human smell.

In general, the process of teaching dogs of different breeds to a home toilet does not differ, but there are still nuances to which you need to listen.

At an early age, representatives of these breeds have an accelerated metabolism. Accordingly, these dogs must be relieved immediately after eating. To prompt the baby to the correct action, you can pour the diaper with warm water and put the animal next to it, so that it can feel wetted matter near its paws. Thanks to the reflex, the puppy will surely relieve the need in the same place. The toy terrier and chihuahua quite sensitively feel the mood of the owner.

If you express dissatisfaction in response to their wrong actions, they will very quickly understand the mistakes and try to correct them in order to please the owner.

These puppies need to be accustomed to the diaper with the help of a partition. To some, this method may not seem humane, but in fact it is not. Being in a vast space, this charming little animal can do the trick in the most inappropriate place.

Puppies of this breed are particularly curious and active. They are inherent to climb all corners of the apartment. For this reason newly made owners will have to cover almost the entire floor of the house with diapers or put up a fence, inside which it will be necessary to lay out several “toilets”. So the baby will relieve the need, not looking up from the gameplay. Gradually, one diaper can be removed per week so that only one absorbent surface remains.

Representatives of this breed are not easy creatures. Until six months of age, husky puppies cannot independently control their needs. Up to 6 months their puppies are looked after by their mother. If the separation from the mother occurred too early, the new owner will have to show great patience. Initially, huskies are accustomed to the toilet on newspapers. It is not recommended to use diapers, otherwise the dog will have a reflex to relieve need on soft surfaces. They can start to mark bedding, a sofa, carpets. But by nature, huskies are neat creatures.

These dogs have a special mind. So during the training of the animal to the toilet, you can immediately tell the puppy what they want from him. As soon as he begins to sit down on the floor in order to relieve himself, it is necessary to say loudly “no”, grab the puppy in an armful and carry him to the diaper. It will take some time to keep the baby in the space reserved for the toilet until he does his work. If the process has ended efficiently, the owner must express his approval.

Quite often, training a puppy to cope with a need in a certain place is not crowned with success. You should not look for a problem in the animal, first you need to look from the side at the puppy’s own manner of training and determine whether everything is done correctly or not. The following is a list of common mistakes made by most inexperienced breeders.

• Lack of patience. Puppies very much resemble small children. After active games, sleep, food, the animal needs to go to the toilet. Newly made breeders can not always identify or catch these moments, and sometimes puppies, turning around the corner, begin to relieve themselves on a clean floor. The owner needs to constantly monitor the pet and, seeing the urge to the toilet, take it to the right place to cope with the need. You may have to sit next to him and not let him go from the diaper until he does a “wet” thing.
• Few diapers. In the first week of dog training it is necessary to cover most of the apartment with diapers.We’ll have to endure a little bit, since it’s very difficult for a baby to run from one room to another to relieve himself, and he may just not be able to bear it. A puppy in the first month of life only studies the environment and can confuse a diaper for a toilet with a rag for mopping. A similar surface confuses the dog. In this case, the mistake of the pet owner is clearly visible. The rag must be removed from the floor.
• Lack of attention. Even the smallest four-legged friend demonstrates by his behavior that he needs to cope. And as soon as the dog begins to show at least a hint of going to the toilet, it must be attributed to the diaper.
• Punishment for random errors. A small puppy must be treated with understanding. The main task of the owner is to teach the animal to relieve itself in the right place, and not to bully it. Seeing a puddle, you can not physically punish the puppy. It’s enough to say in a slightly elevated tone that you can’t do this, to show your dissatisfaction.
• Accuracy of punishment. Owners of puppies need to pay special attention to this rule. It is possible to punish an animal for what has been done before the eyes of the owner for 15 seconds. After this time, the puppy will not figure out why they express dissatisfaction.
• Cleaning. Random pools on the floor must be wiped with a toilet accessory. So the dog will begin to understand the relationship between the puddle and the diaper. And after the crime scene itself should be washed with detergent so that there is no smell on the floor.
• Timely replacement of the diaper. You can not change the "toilet" immediately after coping. It is important that some time passes, after which the film can be replaced. And her smell in any case will remain in the right place.
• Parenting. In the process of training the animal, the owner needs to achieve his trust. The owner must determine what the pet wants to do. Such a relationship will help to educate a smart and decent dog, to achieve his obedience and to develop the right behavior.
