132. Puppy day care

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

A very sweet-natured Shih Tzu. 2nd vaccination was postponed as he had some coughing.
He had been to day care at a puppy-care place before. Vaccination would not protect him till 2 weeks after the 3rd vaccination.

The home breeder had paper-trained him, so it was easy. A cushion and newspapers at the side of the bed. He will not pee on the newspapers if soiled. Sometimes he poops behind the door.





Not allowed to get out of the bedroom as other members of the family might step on his urine. It was easy to run out of newspapers. Maybe a puppy training pad (more absorbent but cost some money) would be ideal for this situation as the pad can be used for 2 days in most cases reported by other puppy owners.

Puppy had to go for day care as one member of the family was studying for final examinations. Puppy might distract.

Interesting situation. Coughing due to virus/bacteria after being placed out at puppy care or from home-breeder's place? So far, puppy was still active.

A puppy is fully protected only 2 weeks after the 3rd vaccination. Many owners do not know this.
