The most common mistake most
time-pressed Singapore puppy owners in this research is to let the
puppy roam the entire apartment before he knows where he should pee
and poo.
ADOPT BASIC PRINCIPLES OF TOILET TRAINING:
Generally 2-4 weeks of confinement in a small space will be
necessary to toilet-train the puppy.
One example:
Another example, if you use a
grate + pee pan as shown in the picture below, the puppy and the
grate still have to be confined to a small room or playpen. Use
urine smell to attract the puppy to the toilet location, e.g. a
soiled tissue with puppy's urine or commercial pet shop puppy
training aid.
Take the puppy out to play for half an hour per day but
observe for signs of elimination --- squatting, sniffing,
turning around.
Put the puppy into the confined area quickly, say IN A FIRM TONE "pee here", praise and give food treats.
This takes time and
patience. Perseverance and a routine of eating, exercise and
training for the puppy. See case study at:
