Pet dog training: 1. Train the dog to urinate and defecate in a fixed location. This type of training is best started with young dogs. This is because puppies are less able to control their own bowel movements until they are 3 to 4 months old, and will urinate anywhere when their bladder is full of urine, or when they encounter stimuli and disturbances. Normally a puppy will urinate 10 to 20 times a day and defecate 4 to 5 times or more. The method of training is to place a newspaper in a fixed place, coat it with dog urine and bring it to the newspaper when the dog wants to defecate (sniff around), once it smells urine it will urinate on the newspaper. It is important that the newspaper is not moved and that the floor is not scrubbed with smelly disinfectant so that the dog can find the place to urinate or defecate by the smell. Punish the dog once for not being able to go to the designated place to defecate every time. It is ideal if the dog can be trained to go to the toilet to urinate and defecate. 2. Train the dog to understand what people are saying by relying on hand signals and intonation. If a puppy defecates, say something to stop it and then make a stopping gesture, such as saying “no” while raising your hand in a “hit” motion. To train the dog to obey, the owner should stand in front of the dog and give the command “freeze” while pushing the right hand forward in a refusal position. If the dog wants to move, hold it down and give the command “freeze”, then point your finger in the direction of the kennel and give the command “go back”, then pull the dog into the kennel and tell it to stay there. If the dog tries to escape, hold it down while saying firmly “No”. If the dog returns to the kennel on the command, give him or her affection and a reward. Repeat this several times to complete the training.
