101. Maltese poops outside the newspaper for past 2 months.

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

The puppy pees on newspapers, but will poo outside the paper.




Two possible reasons I can think of:

1. The odour removal solution has not been used properly or that it is not effective to neutralise the smell of stools.

2. The puppy dislike soiled newspapers which have not been changed regularly. Therefore, to avoid dirtying herself, she poops elsewhere, outside the papers.

Sometimes, the owner is too busy to change soiled papers as they are working the whole day. Confine the puppy in a bathroom or bigger extended playpen may be the answer.
