1. Choosing the location
Accessibility: Make sure the place where you put the pad is accessible to live at all times. He does not have to look for the place or make an effort to reach it.
Quiet and safety: Choose a quiet place, away from distractions, such as noise or heavy traffic. This will make the puppy feel more secure when he needs it.
2. Use of Rewards
Immediate reward: When the puppy defecates on the pad, give him an immediate reward. It could be a snack he likes, a favorite game or a hug. The immediacy of the reward reinforces the desired behavior.
Positive language: Use positive words like "good dog!" or "nice!" to reinforce the behavior. This creates a positive emotional connection between the puppy and the action.

3. Observation of the puppy's behavior
Early signs: Be alert for signs that could indicate the puppy needs to relieve itself, such as walking around, standing still, sniffing or even howling.
Quick referral: When you recognize the signs, take the puppy quickly to the pad. If he manages to relieve himself there, praise him immediately.
4. Maintaining a regular routine
Fixed times: set fixed times of the day when you bring the puppy to the pad, for example after every meal, before bed and in the morning. This helps the pup understand when he is expected to defecate.
Flexible schedule: make sure to be flexible depending on the age and condition of the puppy. A young puppy needs more visits to the pad than an adult dog.

5. Prevention of faults
Thorough cleaning: If the puppy defecates elsewhere in the house, clean the place well. Use cleaning products that remove toilet odors. This will prevent the puppy from returning to the same place.
Do not punish: do not get angry with the puppy if he makes a mistake. Education is a process, and anger may only make him feel afraid or confused.
6. Patience
Do not rush: the education process can take time, and the puppy may not immediately understand what is expected of him. It is important to be patient and persist in the process.
Emotional support: Give the puppy the emotional support it needs, even when there are mistakes.
7. Gradualism
Moving to a new location: Once the puppy has learned to defecate on the pad consistently, you can consider moving the pad to another location in the house. Do this gradually, so as not to confuse the puppy.
Gradual change: If you plan to stop using the pad and teach the puppy to defecate outside, do it gradually.

8. Professional support
Professional Champion: If you encounter persistent difficulties, contact a professional dog trainer or veterinarian who can offer additional tips or check for any health issues that may be affecting the puppy's behavior.
Good luck with your puppy training!
