I have a golden retriever at home who is almost four months old, and I have tried all kinds of ways

The problem of going to the toilet is generally that when the dog first arrives in an unfamiliar environment, disinfect and clean all other places where there is a dog smell, and spray it with a dog-specific inducer where you want it to go to the toilet. Four months is not too short a long time, and you can train now. My method is to force it to defecate in the designated place in addition to what I just said, and if it is not obedient, it will be caught and punished, and the dog's memory is very good.

You can try to apply its poop to the toilet position, or keep observing him, as long as he wants to go to the toilet again, you will carry him to the toilet, and he will have a conditioned reflex as many times as he wants. As long as you want to go to the toilet, you can go anywhere, and training your dog to go to the toilet is not done in a short period of time by drugs or tools, it takes time.

Training pets to defecate at fixed points requires patience and time. First of all, it is necessary to set a fixed point at a regular time. A puppy over 3 months old is equivalent to a child under 1 year old, and it can't hold it.

Therefore, if the training dog does not urinate at home, you need to take the dog downstairs at least every 2 hours, and it is best to start with 1 hour apart. You must go downstairs within 15 minutes after feeding the dog, because the puppy is very easy to defecate after eating. After forming a habit once every hour, it can be gradually increased to 1 time every 2 hours, and gradually once every 3 hours, and once every 4 hours.

Habits are formed gradually. Puppies will still defecate at home at times during training, so it's best to keep pet diapers or newspapers with their urine in a fixed place in the home (not part of their daily activities). Other places where it used to pee must find a way to remove the smell or cover it with perfume.

Through this training, the average dog can develop the habit of defecating 3 times a day after 5 months. Good dogs are trained by hardworking owners. My three dogs, now adults, don't urinate at home.

If there is no one at work for a day, then stay at home for a day.

If you really don't have time to train, the only way is to put the dog in a cage when no one is at home, attach a plastic tray under the cage, and take the dog out to defecate as soon as you get home.

Protecting food is a conditioned reflex caused by the dog's genetics, which will gradually improve with age and trust in the owner, and can gradually add food to the food bowl in the middle of the meal. Be sure not to take the bowl out while it is eating. Over time, it will gradually trust you and will no longer protect you.
