How to toilet train a Border Collie? The owner should take the Border Collie out as often as possible, about once every half an hour, and insist on feeding the dog at the same time every day, taking it out 20 to 30 minutes after the dog eats. In addition, once you find the signal that your dog is about to excrete, you should take it out immediately and give a command before going out. Pay attention to taking it to the same place every time you go out. When it reaches the excretion point, say the "toilet" command. After a while, the dog will understand that the toilet is outside.

1. Take your dog out for a walk more often. This is crucial for teaching your dog to urinate and defecate outside. Take him out as often as possible, about every half hour. This may sound too frequent, but as long as you stick to the schedule and don't miss any of the designated "out time," your dog will naturally associate going out for walks with going to the bathroom.

If your dog is still a puppy, you may need to take him out for walks more often. Because puppies have small bladders and cannot hold urine for a long time.

2. Feed the dog at a fixed time. Feed once a day in the morning and evening at the same time every day. Wait 20 to 30 minutes after your dog eats before taking him out. Regular feeding can better predict the time when your dog will defecate and is also helpful for dog training.

Puppies need to eat three meals a day. So if your dog is still very young, remember to feed it three times in the morning, noon and evening, and feed the dog at a fixed time. Likewise, because your puppy's bladder is small, you'll want to take him out for more walks.

3. Recognize the signal that the dog is about to excrete. These signals include wandering around and sniffing while walking, constantly sniffing the floor as if looking for a place to go to the toilet, placing the tail in a strange position, etc. Once you detect the signal that your dog is about to urinate, take it out immediately regardless of whether it is time to go out or not. Remember to say a password before going out, such as "out" and so on. After a long time, you can take it out to go to the toilet just by saying the password.

When you first train your dog to go out to relieve himself, you need to make him understand that he has to go out if he wants to go to the toilet. Every time it excretes outside, the concept of "the toilet is outside" will be deepened. Remember to take your dog out 20 to 30 minutes after eating or drinking, because dogs usually relieve themselves at this time.

4. Choose an excretion point for the dog. If there is a yard, choose it in the yard. If there is no yard, choose it near the lawn. Take it to the same place every time you go out. Dogs are animals that like to follow habits. Choosing a good excretion point for it outside can reduce the dog's anxiety and make it more comfortable. When it reaches the excretion point, remember to say a command like "go to the toilet". In this way, it will associate this place with urination and defecation.

To comply with city regulations, you should clean up your dog’s excrement after it urinates. if youIf you really have no choice but to take your dog to defecate in a public place, remember to bring a bag and take away the dog's excrement.

5. Always pay attention to the dog’s movements during dog training. When you bring your dog home for the first time, you must spend more time observing it and never let it urinate or defecate indoors. This process is critical, allowing the dog to quickly associate the desire to urinate with going out. Stopping your dog from peeing in the house is the best way to quickly train your dog.

If you can’t stay home and watch your dog all the time, ask someone to walk your dog for you. The dog should be taken to the designated elimination point several times a day.

6. Remember to put your dog in the cage when you go to bed at night or when you are away from home. If your dog is not locked up at night, he will definitely urinate and defecate at home. Keeping your dog in a comfortable crate when you're not at home will reduce the chance of it soiling your home. Dogs don’t like to defecate in the den, so if you keep it in a cage, it will hold back the urge to urinate and wait for you to come back and take it out to defecate.

A dog crate should be a cozy haven for your dog, not a cage. Never punish your dog by putting him in a cage, otherwise he will not only not like being in the cage, but he will also be afraid of the dog cage.

Don’t keep your dog in a cage for too long. If it is kept for too long, it will not be able to hold in its bowels and will have to defecate in the nest. Dogs need plenty of time to exercise and play, so don't leave them in a crate for hours on end, or even overnight.

7. Clean up the dog’s excrement in time. If your dog urinates at home (it will definitely do so at home), you should clean up its excrement immediately and use disinfectant to deodorize it. Once a dog smells the smell of its own excrement somewhere, it will treat that place as its "toilet."

Don’t punish your dog for urinating at home. All you have to do is clean up the excrement and stick to taking your dog out as planned.
