How to train an English Setter to go to the toilet? Many parents like dogs very much at first, but if they are not educated well, they will have a headache later, and then slowly become alienated. In fact, it is very simple to want your English Setter to be able to take care of himself!

First of all, it is best to start training the English Setter puppy in its early childhood. Although English Setter dogs have irregular bowel and bladder patterns when they are young, it is difficult to train them. As a parent, you must be patient. Before you train it to relieve itself in a designated place, make sure it understands its own name and the tone of your praise and criticism.

Generally, English Setter dogs will excrete about 30 minutes after eating or about 15 minutes after drinking water. Parents, please pay special attention at this time. If you find your English Setter sniffing everywhere on the ground, please be on high alert. He is looking for a place to go to the toilet. Using this characteristic, we can observe the performance of the English Setter and then lure the puppy. (For example, we keep an eye on the English Setter after a meal or when we wake up. Once we find that the puppy needs to urinate, such as turning in circles or sniffing around, we must guide the puppy to the right place.

Once the English Setter has defecated in the designated place, be sure to encourage it. For example, give a favorite snack or a piece of beef or something to encourage you. Gradually, the puppy will know that it is correct to urinate here, and a good habit of peeing at a fixed point will be developed.

Don’t beat or scold the English Setter easily during training. During training, parents should not beat or scold the English Setter simply because it does not go to the designated place to relieve itself. Otherwise, the English Setter will think that defecation is a "wrong thing" and will only dare to secretly defecate when the owner is not paying attention, which will be troublesome in the future.

Notes:

1. When the English Setter poops in the wrong place, parents only need to tell it in a slightly serious (higher volume) tone: "No!" and then immediately carry the little silver fox to the correct place to defecate.

2. The excrement in the wrong place should be cleaned up immediately, and the place should be completely deodorized (bleach + deodorizing spray). This will prevent the puppy from smelling the previous smell and pooping in the same place next time, which will make it difficult to correct it in the future.
