87. Golden Retriever trained on the aluminium pee platform + pee tray in 7 days.

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

"If you give treats to motivate the puppy or child," the European lady said, "It is easy to succeed in toiilet training."

"I presume you have children in the Primary 1 and 2 School category," I guessed. "These 7- and 8-year-old responds very well to sweets as treats."

She did have children 6 - 9 years old. Older ones are not motivated when given sweets as treats. As for the Golden Retriever puppy, she has been very successful because she spent nearly 24 hours toilet training the puppy to step onto and use the aluminum platform as the toilet area.

A picture is shown below.


"What do you use for potty training the toddler?" I asked her. "Sweets may affect the teeth."

"We have a special type of raisin for toddlers," she replied. In her case, the pet shop operator had sold her a playpen but it was not used. She used the newspapers and confined the puppy in the kitchen for week 2. The puppy was in the bedroom at night. It was paper-trained with the use of the urine spray aid. In week 3 after purchase, she went to the pet shop and bought the aluminium pee platform + tray set up. It was very useful because the platform would not be rusty and could be cleaned easily. It cost around S$150.00 but she was satisfied with it. A picture will be posted soon.



The loose stools of the puppy? Passing stools 5X/day and loose stools were not normal for puppies fed dry feed. When the canned food (smelly stomach contents of cows) much loved by the puppies was fed in large amounts by the domestic worker, the puppy had loose stools. Chewbones and rawhides are given too. When the canned food is not given, the stools were well formed. So, it was that canned food.

Spending the time with your puppy the whole day and night would be worth the trouble as you probably can toilet train it in 7 days. In the morning, the Retriever is taken outdoors. He passses stools afer breakfast, lunch and dinner and after midnight around 5x/day. Pees many times.
