16. Is the barking Dachshund asking for a clean bed?
Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore
"Non-stop barking all night," the young lady owner living in a condo said. "And all night. The neighbours must be upset." What's the solution?
This new puppy was crated in a wireless cage which has a pee-tray below the cage to be toilet-trained. An older Dachshund was trained on the pee-tray and was given freedom to roam the apartment. So, the new puppy barked all the time wanting to join in the fun. He would resume barking after being scolded. He was not isolated at night as he was kept in the master bathroom. But he still barked and barked very loudly.
Is there a solution to this noise nuisance?
I suggested putting the crate inside the master bedroom. What the puppy wanted was attention and probably it knew it would receive attention if it barked.
"Could he be asking you to clean up the urine on the wire flooring as some puppies bark as they want a clean place to lie on? Maybe a towel at the side of the floor although I know it would shred it."
The couple agreed to clean up the flooring with vinegar and water 1:3. The urine might flow through the wire flooring but the stools might soil the wire flooring leaving the puppy no clean place to sleep. This was just a hypothesis. Observation of the puppy behaviour is needed as not all barking is due to wanting to come out.

Couple working whole day. When home at 7 p.m, the bring the puppy to the master bathroom to pee and poop. Night time the master bathroom floor is used by the 2 dogs.
The Dachshund puppy is 80% paper-trained, using the newspaper of the older dog as a toilet area.
