19. A toilet-training instruction book is needed for Singaporeans

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

The whole apartment is the toilet for the puppy.

"Has he been toilet-trained?" I asked the young lady owner who brought the Jack Russell with two older men.

The Jack Russell puppy with short legs had not been toilet-trained. The young lady owner seemed not to mind him peeing and pooping all over the apartment. The older man said: "I f... him a lot, but still he soils the whole apartment." Wow, that was strong language used in front of a over twenty-something lady. She did not blush.
"What to do to stop him?" I presume the Jack Russell had a fair amount of spanking.

Not everybody does research. If only I have one book of instruction manual for Singaporean puppy owners. The other dog owners outside the consultation room was impatient.

"Keep him in a small area e.g. a playpen in the kitchen," I advised. "Use vinegar:water 1:2 to neutralise all the urine smells on the floor tiles of the whole apartment floor including the kitchen. Put newspapers in the play pen. Closely supervise the puppy."



I could not elaborate. Definitely, a book for the local owners would be very useful. It is easier said than done. Traditional printing is expensive as there needs to be a minimum of 2000 copies. There may not be a demand for such books to be sold at the breeders, pet shops and veterinary surgeries in Singapore.

If only there is a software whereby I can print on demand decent copies, without having to go to the traditional printers who are not really interested in small volumes. Also, book sellers and established publishers may not be keen. Some software like Microsoft Word. Maybe there is one.
