If you do not have the opportunity to walk with your pet 2-3 times a day, the question of training the spitz to the tray becomes very relevant. The method of training a Spitz to the tray is quite simple, but it will require patience and understanding from you. Be consistent and persistent, and in 2-3 weeks you will probably be able to cope with this task.
It is necessary
- - arena for dogs;
- - tray;
- - newspapers or diapers.
Instructions
Step 1
Remove all floor carpets during litter training. If the baby marks the carpet at least once, it will be impossible to get rid of the smell. And your spitz will definitely consider this place one of his "toilets".
Step 2
Purchase a playpen or metal fence for dogs Playpens and fences are sold at specialized pet stores. These devices allow restricting the dog's freedom of movement around the apartment, as a result of which the territory of daily cleaning will be significantly reduced. Choose a room in which your pet will live. If you purchased a fence, install it in the doorway, if the playpen - in any place convenient for you.
Step 3
Cover the arena floor with newspapers or special diapers. Install a lounger, bowls, toys in the aviary. Lock your spitz in this aviary while you are away. It is also recommended to send your dog there after eating and sleeping.
Step 4
Watch the Pomeranian carefully. You should know that 10-20 minutes after eating or sleeping, the dog will definitely want to “go to the toilet”. As soon as you notice that the Spitz is trying to "sit down" - take the baby in your arms and carry it to the arena. Make sure that the pomeranian understands that "going to the toilet" can only be in the arena and only to the newspapers.
Step 5
Place the tray at the desired location in the playpen. Take a piece of cloth and soak it in your Spitz's urine. Place the fabric in the tray. The smell of urine will help the puppy to understand that he should meet his needs in this place. Gradually reduce the number of newspapers on the floor of the arena. If the baby "missed" - scold him slightly and put him in the tray for a short time.
Step 6
Never spank or yell at a Spitz. Fear of punishment can only make the situation worse, and you will never achieve positive results.
Step 7
Be sure to praise your dog if it goes into the litter box. Do not skimp on affection and tasty morsels.
