102. Barricade bathroom near kitchen, be vigilant for signs

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

The owner prefers that the puppy has more space than a crate or playpen. He has excellent knowledge.

Barricading the bathroom near the kitchen enables the puppy to see what's going on but not coming out to mess the whole apartment.





1. Observing for signs of elimination is good. The puppy is quickly brought to the papers.

2. Playing for a short period of 5-10 minutes is good.
3. Let him poop first before playing is a good idea.

4. More coverage of the floor. 4 pieces of Straits Times papers are used to cover the floor of the bathroom. This gives the puppy plenty of fresh papers to pee upon.

5. If playtime exceeds 60 minutes, must remember to put the puppy back on the newspapers in the bathroom, to continue paper-training.

Still confine the puppy in the bathroom as in the past 2 weeks.

I advise removing barricade, put second piece of newspapers (soiled) onto kitchen floor to see if the puppy is really paper-trained. The bathroom is the den for sleeping but if he is paper-trained, he can have freedom to roam the apartment.
