The speaker, Carlos Carrasco, a canine educator, discusses how to teach a puppy to do its business on the street. He emphasizes the importance of patience, positive attitude, and involving the whole family in the process.
Key points include:
1. Young puppies (3-4 months) don't have physiologically developed sphincters to hold their urine and feces, so it's normal for them to have accidents.
2. It's essential to establish a routine, including a meal schedule, to help the puppy learn when to relieve itself.
3. The puppy should be taken outside frequently, with the number of outings decreasing as the puppy matures.
4. There are three "hot moments" when the puppy is most likely to relieve itself: after waking up, after eating and drinking, and after playing.
5. If the puppy has an accident in the house, it's crucial to clean up the area thoroughly with a product that eliminates odors and bacteria to prevent the puppy from being attracted to the same spot again.
6. To overcome the puppy's habit of doing its business at home, try the "fake entry" trick: pretend to enter the house, then take the puppy back outside to the street.
By following these guidelines and tips, puppy owners can teach their puppies to do their business on the street and establish good habits.
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. A young puppy's sphincters are not physiologically prepared to hold waste until around 3-5 months old.
2. Puppies typically eat 3 times a day at 3-4 months old and 2 times a day from 6-7 months old.
3. Puppies need to go outside frequently to relieve themselves, with the number of outings decreasing as they mature.
4. A 3-4 month old puppy should go outside 8-9 times a day, a 5-month-old puppy 6-7 times a day, a 6-7 month old puppy 6 times a day, a 10-month-old puppy 4-5 times a day, and a 1-year-old puppy 3 times a day.
5. Puppies have "hot moments" when they are likely to relieve themselves, including when they wake up, after eating and drinking, and after playing.
6. If a puppy pees inside the house, it's best to ignore them, dry the area with paper or newspaper, and cover the floor with a product that eliminates odors and bacteria.
7. Puppies may not relieve themselves on the street at first because they are used to the texture of the floor at home.
8. A trick to help puppies relieve themselves on the street is to pretend to enter the house, then take them back outside for another walk.
