When is the appropriate time to train a Miniature Pinscher to defecate and urinate?

The golden period for training a Miniature Pinscher is from 3 to 6 months of age. During this time, the owner can start training consciously. First of all, if the dog has had the habit of urinating randomly before, be sure to clean the place where it urinated thoroughly. Otherwise, if there is still a smell left, the dog will still go to defecate and urinate by following the smell.



Then, designate a "toilet" for the Miniature Pinscher, such as a potty or a pee pad. It's also necessary to master the defecation time of the Miniature Pinscher. When it starts to show behaviors like circling, sniffing, and squatting, quickly take it to the toilet. Moreover, there are patterns to a dog's defecation. Generally speaking, the physiological defecation time for small dog breeds like the Miniature Pinscher is about ten to fifteen minutes before and after meals and fifteen minutes after waking up from sleep. So the owner should strictly seize these two periods and use this time to train the Miniature Pinscher to defecate.

Dogs have a habit of defecating and urinating where they have done so before. They will sniff first and then defecate. So as long as the dog gets used to this habit, you won't have to worry about it defecating everywhere in the future.
