Show your dog the litter box and encourage them to sniff around and explore it. You can also place a small amount of their feces in the litter box to help them understand what it is for. Encourage your dog to use the litter box. Whenever you see your dog exhibiting signs that they need to go to the bathroom, such as pacing or circling, immediately lead them to the litter box. Praise and reward them when they use the litter box. Keep an eye on your dog's progress. It may take a few days or weeks for your dog to fully understand and consistently use the litter box. If you notice that your dog is having accidents outside of the litter box, try to determine the cause and address it. Litter training a dog requires patience and consistency, but with time and effort, most dogs can be successfully trained to use a litter box.
