Caution 1: Cover the newspaper
[Step by step instructions]
First, choose a regular toilet location for your dog. You can choose a place in your home that is easier to clean, such as a toilet, bathroom or balcony, and then cover this area with newspaper. When you find your dog has to defecate, bring him to the toilet and let him defecate on the newspaper with your encouragement.
[Editorial experience]
Why do you want to do this? Because, even if you have the toilet ready and the newspaper laid out, the dog will not be so smart as to defecate directly on the newspaper the first time. When you encourage your dog to defecate on the newspaper, he will remember that newspaper Defecation = encouragement.” >
Don’t take away the urine- and feces-stained newspaper immediately after your dog defecates, giving him enough time to remember the correlation between the location and the smell of the feces. Using scents to help remember the results allows the dog to learn more quickly.

Caution Guide Time
[Step by step details]
Gently guide your dog to the bathroom 10 – 20 minutes after feeding or at the end of an activity. Close the door and let him move around the space of the newspaper, then use words to encourage him to urinate.
[Small experience]
In fact, this is the time we count when the dog defecates. Usually, a dog will defecate after eating or moving around outside. If we don’t happen to notice the symptoms of a dog trying to defecate, we can direct the dog to the toilet.
Of course, you can also use a potty diverter. A potty diverter is an item used to train your dog to spot urinate and defecate, and is more commonly available as a spray in a bottle, of which there are many types available on the market.

Note 3: Do not disturb
[Step by Step Details]
Once the dog has the intent to urinate, please do not physically interfere. However, the dog’s parents need to give a verbal reward at the first opportunity. For example, great! GOOD! Encouragement should be in the form of using common words and sentences such as obedient poop, as the dog will even remember your words during this training session.
[Editorial experience]
Dogs are loyal companions and listen very well to their parents. Therefore, verbal instructions from the dog’s parents are very important to the dog’s behavior. Remember, although a dog cannot understand language, it understands tone of voice, so dog parents should not only say praise, but also be careful to use a friendly and encouraging tone of voice.

Caution #4: Physical contact

Note 4: Physical contact
[Step by step instructions]
When the dog defecates on the newspaper, continue to give gentle encouragement. In addition, you can touch the dog’s head and back with your hands.
[Editorial experience]
The purpose of having physical contact with the dog is to get the dog to like the behavior pattern, remember it, and want to repeat it.
Whether they are newborns or adults, when dogs come to a new environment, they need to be urine trained. Therefore, parents should not let their dogs go to the bathroom and let them move around as they please. Learn these four points and train your dog fast! >
