How to train a dog to potty train in a designated spot

2026-01-16 07:12:12 · · #1

To train your dog to potty train in a specific spot, place a few newspapers soaked in dog urine in the area where you want it to relieve itself. When your dog shows signs of needing to go, immediately pick it up and place it on the newspapers, then stay nearby until it successfully relieves itself. Reward your dog with small amounts of food each time it potty trains correctly. Repeating this process several times will help it remember the potty location.

How to train a dog to poop in a designated spot

First, wet a newspaper with your dog's urine and place it where you want it to relieve itself. You can also spray some scent attractant on the newspaper.

The second step is that when the dog shows signs of needing to relieve itself, the owner should immediately pick it up and place it on a newspaper, and stay by its side to prevent it from running away until it defecates.

The third step is to give commands while watching your dog defecate, such as saying "poop," so that the dog can associate the command with defecation and remember it.

Fourth, after the dog defecates correctly, reward it to reinforce its memory of the designated spot. Repeat this training several times, and the dog will remember the location.
