Key points of indoor toilet training for dogs

1. Remember to reward your dog in time after he has gone to the toilet correctly, so that he will associate the reward with going to the toilet, making it easier to train him next time. However, if the dog goes to the toilet in the wrong place, it should be scolded in time to let it know that it is wrong to do so.
2. In the early stage of training, after the dog has urinated and defecated, do not take away the newspapers stained with urine and feces immediately, so that it can have enough time to memorize the relationship between the location and the smell of defecation. Using smell to help remember results can make learning faster.
