Puppies have no choice but to stay at home during their first months of life, a period in which they receive the mandatory vaccines and in which they must avoid contact with the outside world, including other furry animals. Otherwise, they expose themselves to diseases that can seriously affect their health.
During that time, they must relieve themselves at home. In the best case, on a balcony or patio. If it is a small apartment, the owner will have no choice but to use soakers. With a little patience, your furry friend will eventually get used to it. Although this joy will not last long.
When he has all the vaccines, the dog will have to go outside. And we will have to teach him that this is where he has to urinate. Nothing from the house floor or soaker.
In some cases, the process can be somewhat tortuous, but we can always use some tricks to help our dog adapt, as canine educator Alejandro Flores explains on his TikTok account.
This specialist explains that we have to be attentive to the moment when our furry friend gets up from his nap: “Normally, the dog wakes up, stretches and then pees.” Therefore, it is best to put the leash on him quickly, as soon as we see him wake up.
It is also important to reward our pet every time he urinates in the street. Finally, this educator advises buying a ten-meter rope to walk him, so that he can approach parks with grass or dirt. “That will give him more freedom to explore other pises and will increase his stimulation,” he says.
