From the first moment the dog comes home, his new family has to take time to teach him some basic rules of coexistence. Thus, sooner rather than later, it will be a furry that will not bite or scratch, and that will know how to behave with others.
One of the most common doubts that new families of dogs may have is that of how to prevent the dog from urinating in the house. Well, we are going to help the animal to relieve itself where it has to 🙂.
Why does the dog urinate indoors?
The first thing we need to know is why he urinates at home. Thus, we can better know what we have to do so that, little by little, this behavior disappears. The most common reasons are:
- You have not learned to control your needs: this is what happens to puppies.
- Is in heat: during the mating season, especially male dogs that are not neutered have a great tendency to mark.
- You feel nervous or restless- Sometimes if they feel stressed or very nervous, they can urinate inside the house.
How to correct this behavior?
Follow this step by step:
- Select the room or area where you want him to relieve himself.
- Then, deposits a few drops of other urine, either in a tray with sand or in the garden soil. It is a very effective way to get the dog to urinate in that very spot.
- Take it there within 10 minutes of drinking and / or eating.
- Then collect the stools with a tweezers collect excrement, and put them in a bag and then throw them away.
Another thing you can do is take him for a walk much more often, for example, four times a day. Short walks, of 15-20 minutes, are often an alternative that furry people like best.
We hope these tips have been helpful to you. 🙂
