Man's best friend should be trained to fit in with your lifestyle.
Dogs are great companions and are often regarded as a member of the family. Puppies, older dogs or dogs with medical conditions need to be properly trained on where to defecate. Dogs that were in a pound may think it is OK to use concrete as a bathroom since that was in fact their previous one. There are a few things to keep in mind if you would like to stop a dog from defecating on concrete.
Instructions
1. Walk your dog to the place that you would like to designate as a bathroom. Use a leash and do not remove your dog from it. Be consistent with potty trips so you do not confuse your pet.
2. Wait about five minutes for your dog to eliminate. If your dog doesn't go when you are outside, take it back inside. Wait about 20 minutes and take the dog to the same designated bathroom area again.
3. Reward your dog when it uses the designated bathroom. Pat your dog on the head and give it an edible treat. Positive reinforcement encourages desirable behavior from your pet.
4. Spray a housebreaking product that can be purchased at any pet store. The ingredients lure dogs to eliminate in the area you spray it. Spray the product in the designated bathroom area at least once every 24 hours. Potty pads also have the same ingredients, if you think pads would be more convenient for your training style.
5. Buy a product that you can apply to the concrete that will keep your dog away from it. The repellent will keep your dog from defecating on the concrete. The product should be reapplied at least once every 24 hours to remain effective.
