How to correct a dog's random defecation
When a dog defecates randomly, owners can correct this behavior by shouting, training the dog to defecate in a designated spot, and providing rewards. Additionally, owners can use pet诱导剂,spraying it on the spot where the dog is trained to defecate. Some dogs will go to the designated spot to defecate after smelling it. It is important to note that owners should not hit or punish the dog, as this may cause it to develop a rebellious mentality. As long as the owner is patient and repeats the training, the dog's behavior can be corrected.
- Shout
When the owner discovers that the dog is defecating randomly, they should immediately shout at the dog to remind it not to do so. The owner can also use items that make a loud noise but will not cause significant harm to the dog, such as newspapers or empty water bottles, to tap the dog and point at the excrement while scolding it. This will let the dog know that it has done wrong.
- Train the dog to defecate in a designated spot
The main reason for a dog's random defecation is that the owner has not trained the dog to defecate in a designated spot. Therefore, the owner should take the dog to the designated spot to defecate as soon as they notice the dog has the desire to excrete. Once the dog becomes accustomed to this routine, it will not defecate randomly.
When the dog wants to excrete, it will show signs such as spinning around, becoming anxious, and barking at the owner. The owner can take the dog to the toilet or take it outside for a walk to allow it to excrete based on these signs. Make sure to do this before the dog squats down. If the dog has already squatted down, do not disturb it to avoid causing unnecessary stress to its body.
- Provide rewards
After the dog has defecated in the designated spot, the owner can give it verbal and snack rewards or provide some gentle encouragement. They can also stroke the dog's head and back. This can make the dog like this behavior pattern and deepen its impression to form a conditioned reflex.
