Shiba Inu pooping rules

Dogs generally have the desire to poop about 20-30 minutes after getting up in the morning, 20-30 minutes after eating food, and 15 minutes after drinking water. The dog's desire to urinate is manifested by circling around the room and sniffing around on the ground. This is because it is looking for a place to go to the toilet. At this time, the owner can guide the dog to go to the correct place to go to the toilet.

The first step in training a Shiba Inu to urinate at a fixed location: Determine the training age

Shiba Inu dogs that are less than three months old have no sense of self-control at this time and do not have the function of holding urine. Therefore, if you are raising a very small puppy, it is best to start training when the Shiba Inu is three months old.

The second step of training a Shiba Inu to urinate and defecate at fixed points: Find the Shiba Inu’s pooping pattern

Before training a Shiba Inu, the owner needs to observe when it urinates and defecates. Dogs usually have the desire to poop about 20-30 minutes after getting up in the morning, 20-30 minutes after eating, and 15 minutes after drinking water. The dog's desire to urinate is manifested by circling around the room and sniffing around on the ground. This is because it is looking for a place to go to the toilet.

The third step of training a Shiba Inu to urinate at a fixed location: guide the dog to go to the toilet

The owner should choose a fixed place as the Shiba Inu’s toilet location and cover it with newspapers or special disposable diapers. It is best to have some Shiba Inu urine stained on newspapers or disposable diapers, so that it will think this is the place where it last urinated and go to the toilet in the right place. When the Shiba Inu wants to go to the toilet, lead the dog to the toilet location.

The fourth step of training a Shiba Inu to urinate and defecate at a designated place: reward or punish

If the dog can urinate and defecate in the designated place correctly, the owner can give appropriate material encouragement. If you find that your dog does not relieve himself in the designated place, give him a stern reprimand to let him know that doing so is wrong. The owner must be patient and train repeatedly, and do not change the location of the toilet. The Shiba Inu will gradually develop the habit of urinating at a fixed location.
