110. Did the Chocolate Labrador pee in the condo lift? "Crate" training.
Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore
"Did your 3-month-old Chocolate Labrador Retriever control his bladder from 21st floors to zero every morning?" I asked the English lady. At around 7 a.m, she would bring the puppy downstairs. Puppies need to pee on waking up. Such young puppies pee a lot of times a day. How did she prevent him from soiling the condo lift?
"Well," she said. "He did pee once. Now, I distract him by talking to him in the lift till he reaches the grass."
In Case No. 47, I recommended crate training at the apartment. Put the puppy inside the crate. Every 2 hour, on the hour, take him out of the crate. Put him on the puppy training pads to pee. Put back into the crate. She wanted the puppy to go downstairs. She modified my proposal and successfully housetrained the puppy to go downstairs.
The fixed schedule, based on an average of 1.5 hour confinement in the kitchen, is as follows:
7 - 8 a.m.
Before breakfast, take the puppy into the lift to go downstairs for walks. Passes stools and pees.
12.30 p.m.
Back from work. Take him downstairs for walks. Passes stools and pees.
2 p.m, 4 p.m Outdoors.
6 p.m Dinner.
7 - 8 p.m. Take him downstairs for walks.
10 p.m. Outdoors. Later if the owner is not at home.
When I saw this puppy on Oct 10, 2005, the owner said that he has no accidents for the last 1.5 weeks. The puppy was housetrained in 2 weeks following the schedule. He is free to roam the apartment but the bedrooms are locked as the wooden parquet floors can be scratched by his paws. He likes to sleep on the marble flooring. He does not like the crate.
A baby-gate confines him in the kitchen when he is naughty. The owner uses floor cleaners to remove the urine smells when he pees on the floor in the first 2 weeks.
A successful story.
