153. Tiled floor "thoroughly cleaned" still attracted the 6-month-old
Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore
3. Keeps peeing on the tiled floor - 6 months old
June 19, 2005. The owner complains that the Maltese would go back to the tiled floors to pee even though newspapers are provided. The floor is thoroughly cleaned but the puppy persists. It stopped doing only when the owner is around and was afraid of punishment.
It is not obvious to the owner. "The tiled floor is marked with strong urine smell," I explained. The dog instinctively wants to pee in the same area.
SOLUTION. Buy a urine remover from the pet shop. Or an anti-ammonia floor cleaner. Use vinegar 1 part to 3 parts water as floor cleaner. Neutralise the urine smell.
If the puppy still persists, then use an insect repellant spray or perfume. Confine the puppy again and start the paper-training process. As the puppy grows older, it is harder to toilet train it as the hormones have come to make it more aggressive and domineering. Also, the male puppy starts urine spraying the walls and marking territory. So, this case may require a knowledge of older puppy behaviour rather than neutralising the urine smell.
Once a male dog starts urine marking, it is hard for the owner to stop him. Unless there is firm command to stop it or to neuter him early.
