1. Common reasons why dogs urinate and defecate anywhere:
Puppies urinate and defecate anywhere because they are young, have not yet established a fixed defecation awareness, and are physiologically unable to hold their urination and defecation for a long time. This is especially true for two-month-old Bichon Frise. This is not an abnormal behavior, but a necessary stage in the growth process.
2. Methods to establish a fixed-point urination and defecation awareness:
First, the owner should guide the dog to the toilet or a set location in time when there are signs of defecation, and give praise and rewards (such as snacks or petting) after the dog successfully urinates and defecates at a fixed location. In addition, defecation inducers sold in pet stores can be used to assist training, and spray them at the desired defecation location to attract the dog.
3. Outdoor fixed-point urination and defecation training:
After the dog has completed all vaccinations, take it out for a walk at a fixed time every day. During the walk outside, the dog will gradually learn to solve the problem of urination and defecation outside. The initial walk time is recommended to be 50-60 minutes, which can be shortened appropriately as the habit is formed. At the same time, pay attention to taking measures to protect the dog from cold and keep it warm to avoid diseases caused by cold and affect the training effect.
4. The relationship between temperature and dog defecation:
The dog may not want to defecate outside because of the cold. At this time, the dog should be equipped with suitable warm clothes and insisted on letting it stay outside until it finishes defecation before going home. It takes time and patience to cultivate good outdoor defecation habits.
5. Choice of diet and dog walking time:
Under normal circumstances, dogs will have a strong need to defecate within 10-30 minutes after a meal. The owner can arrange to walk the dog outside during this time period according to the digestive characteristics of their own dog, and try to make it defecate in the same place to speed up the formation of habits.
6. Observation of abnormal symptoms during sleep:
If the dog breathes rapidly and sneezes while sleeping, it may be stimulated by cold air or dry environment to cause respiratory sensitivity, not necessarily a cold. Ensure that the dog is warm while adjusting the indoor humidity to an appropriate range (about 40-45%), and closely observe the dog's breathing state after waking up to determine whether there is a real health problem.
