The appearance of a puppy in the house is joy and enthusiastic exclamations for children, but for my mother these are puddles, and not only throughout the apartment! So the question of accustoming to the tray becomes the number first in the list of the owner. It will be accepted as a given, that the puppy's accustoming to the tray is a very long process and does not always end with success.
The basic rules of how to tame a puppy to a tray
The way to the tray of your puppy will be much shorter if you start to help him and encourage in every way for his first successes. However ridiculous it may sound, the dog's training to the tray does not differ much from the training to the pot of the child . Of course, the comparison is somewhat rough, but the point is the same: we use only the carrot-free method, we are looking for suitable moments and readiness for crumbs, and then we praise for the first successes. And here is a short list of important points in the question of how to accustom the puppy to the tray:
- immediately remove all the carpets and choose a place with a tile or linoleum (which will be easier for you to wash);
- if possible, find the closest possible place to the entrance door, then the process of getting used to the street will be somewhat easier;
- the first time it is important to constantly monitor the behavior of the pet, to recognize its readiness for bowel movement and to reveal its frequency;
- try to be constantly near and at the right time take the puppy to the right place, with him constantly someone to be;
- never scold a dog for puddles, it is likely to be perceived as a threat and the pet will start to retire on purpose, and sometimes he sees it as a game and tries to repeat the reception;
- even worse, if you start poking a dog, such a gesture can be regarded as an effort to force to eat;
- never hurry the animal and give it time, otherwise you will get the opposite effect and it will start doing your things "quietly" until nobody looks.
How to tame the puppy to the tray - what do experienced dog owners advise?
The general picture is clear. But still: what exactly should be done, how to behave and organize the process itself? And how to cope with the situation, if the puppy does not go into the tray, even after one hundredth your effort. From the advice of breeders, you can identify three main options for training, one you just need to come up with.
- One of the scenarios for training a puppy to a tray is the use of paper. All carpets down and instead of them we cover paper or newspapers. First time the puppy will do the affairs in each room. In a short period of time, one of them will be taken for granted, and then we gradually remove the newspapers. After a certain time, the pet will get used to going only to the newspaper, for which it should be praised. Gradually, all the newspaper islands disappear and remain alone near the door. And later instead of the newspaper there will be a tray.
- The second way how to accustom the puppy to the tray is a bit like. Now we will use diapers. As soon as it became apparent that the puppy bridged, lightly and not abruptly transfer it to the diaper. Further we wait, while it will make affairs and we praise. And that every time until you see that he himself begins to look for a diaper, in order to receive a reward of a delicacy.
- Some owners do not want to work with the newspaper and prefer chlorine. The most common chlorine bleach will do. Choose a place with a tile, which you are ready to give to the mercy. Next, my entire floor in the house, except for the selected corner. Gradually the puppy will start to search for the smell of his place to correct the need, and after a while you can safely put the tray.
It is desirable to constantly monitor the process and not let it go. So we put the puppy on the diaper just after eating, after sleeping. If the puppy accidentally went to the wrong place, puddle promakivaem and give a sniff, and "crime scene" thoroughly washed with bleach. In such a matter, it is important not only to follow the advice of specialists, but to observe the reaction and behavior of your pet, to seek an approach to it.
