There are many reasons why an adult dog urgently needs to be trained to walk on a litter box. And if you took a dog from a shelter or for overexposure, then in any case, you will have to retrain it to the litter box.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the correct tray from the store, taking into account the size of the dog and its gender. For males, special trays with a column are produced.
Step 2
Think about the best place to set up a latrine for your dog. It is important that the tray does not “move” from room to room, but is always in the same “calm” corner. Put old newspapers in the tray, sprinkling them with dog urine, or better buy special scented diapers at the pet store. If you have a dog, do not forget about the tray post. The column can be sprinkled not only with its urine, but also with the urine of another dog or bitch, which is in the midst of a sexual cycle (estrus).
Step 3
Feed the animal strictly by the hour so that it gets used to the regime as soon as possible.
Step 4
Lock the dog up for a while in one of the rooms, after removing the carpets from there. Monitor your dog regularly. After a while, willy-nilly, she will want to relieve herself. At the first sign of anxiety, take her by the collar, bring her to the tray and show her where the “right place” is. Of course, the dog will initially resist in every possible way, but the smell of his own (or someone else's) feces can attract his attention, and he will remember the corner where the tray is.
Step 5
After all the "necessary things", be sure to praise her, give her a treat. Repeat this procedure over and over until the dog has finally learned the location of the litter box.
Step 6
If you do not have time to bring the animal to the toilet, yell at him and immediately lead him to the litter box so that the dog can finish his business where necessary. The corner where she inadvertently began to empty the bowels or bladder, wash thoroughly and sprinkle with "Antigadin".
Step 7
If you have a large house or apartment, then you can initially restrict the dog's freedom of movement by blocking her access to most of the rooms. Gradually, as she gets accustomed to the "correct" toilet, open one room after another. The dog will regard these actions as a form of reward.
