4. In families that raise male dogs, male awareness increases and they protect the territory.

Things to note when training a dog to defecate
Training a dog to defecate is something that takes a long time to complete, so you must be patient and not just because the dog fails to follow our instructions 1-2 times. Punishing them when they defecate according to their will will only make training more difficult. When the dog poops in the place designated by us, we must reward it in time so that the dog can form the consciousness that the owner will be happy to defecate here.
