La llegada de un perro adulto a su casa exige tanto esfuerzo por su parte y la de su familia como la de un cachorro. Es un error pensar que sólo porque el perro haya crecido y haya sido entrenado para ir al baño en una casa, se adaptará inmediatamente al horario de eliminación de su casa también.
Eso no es realista. El perro tiene muchas adaptaciones a su nuevo entorno y no sabe instintivamente que no se permite orinar en el suelo, sobre todo porque a su anterior dueño no le importaba o no parecía importarle.
No cometa el error de suponer que, por ser un perro adulto, simplemente 'sabrá' lo que tiene que hacer. Empieza con él como si fuera un cachorro y enséñale poco a poco la rutina del horario de los orinales de tu mascota en casa.
Probablemente tengas que empezar con el adiestramiento en la caja o la restricción a un baño. A continuación, establezca un horario para los descansos para hacer sus necesidades. Los perros adultos son muy exigentes a la hora de encontrar un lugar para hacer sus necesidades en el exterior que esté alejado del lugar donde juegan, al igual que no les gusta hacer sus necesidades cerca de donde duermen o comen.
Ayúdele a encontrar ese lugar en el patio o en el exterior cuando pasee y devuélvalo allí para los siguientes descansos para hacer sus necesidades. Tienes que controlar los descansos para ir al baño durante varias semanas para aprender los patrones de eliminación de tu perro.
También tienes que establecer los horarios de alimentación por la mañana y por la noche. Es posible que no haya tenido un horario de vida tan organizado, por lo que esto podría llevar tiempo de adaptación. No te creas el viejo dicho de que 'a un perro viejo no se le pueden enseñar trucos nuevos'. Lo importante no es la edad del perro, sino la constancia del dueño.
A generally accepted figure for the larger Stone Age featuring the first use of stone tools begins at 3.4 million years in the early Paleolithic Age. In a brief interim period of two thousand years following the end of the most recent Ice Age, the Mesolithic period serves as a transition to the Neolithic running from 8700 to 2000 BCE. More conservative estimates place the span of the Stone Age at 2.5 million years, ending around 3000 BCE. Modern dating systems are intended to provide approximate conclusions within large epochs, not pinpoint calendar dates, and shifts of opinion are ongoing. Grouped together, the Stone Age phases for the tripartite Stone Age are drawn from the Greek words Palaios (old) and Lithos (stone). The proliferation of sub-categorizations was designed as a method for studying early humans within a more organized set of chronologies. Before such terms came into use in the eighteenth century, the best available tracing of early man came from the Greek poet Hesiod. His categorization of prehistory followed a scheme through the Golden Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age, Heroic Age, and Iron Age. Such an arrangement is by all appearances more of a reflection of and salute to human mythology gathered by the threads of emerging and past cultures.
Something more scientific was required for scholars of the Enlightenment. The solution was provided by Christian J. Thomsen, a Danish antiquarian who relied on a three-part system of identification. In the larger picture of earth’s pre-history, his sequence of Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages gained consensus. The Stone Age’s separation into Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic brought about a clearer dividing line for epochs where humans began to work with metal.

In South India there was a city named mahilaaropa. A king named Amara Shakthi was ruling the city of mahilaaropa. He was very friendly with his citizens. He was a great visionary and a man with valour. The citizens of his Kingdom were always happy. But the king himself was not happy. He had no contentment. Because that King had three sons who were very stupid. The elder one was very stubborn. His name was bahu shakti. The second one was a shrewd fellow. His name was ugrashakti. The third one was a wicked fellow who had inculcated only bad habits. His name was Ananta Shakti. Moreover, the three sons of the King were egoistic as they were the sons of a king. Because of this they did not obtain any kind of knowledge and education. Though they were aged between 16 and 18 years, they did not know how to write. Like this they used to lead their lives. The king Amara Shakti being the father of those three princes did not succeed in his attempt of making them knowledgeable and educating them even though he tried his level best. Because those three children of the king did not have any earnestness to get educated, they disrespected their Guru or teacher. So, all the Gurus or teachers started rejecting the offer of teaching the three children of the king. Though they were in youth they were slow, egoistic and had inculcated bad habits in them. As the time had passed away, they had grown like wild bulls. Hearing about the nature of the three princes the kings belonging to the neighboring kingdoms hesitated to give their daughters in hand for conducting marriage ceremony of their daughters. The king Amara shakti went into a chronic depression and lost his peace of mind.
He struggled and trembled out of fear thinking about their son's future.
