228. Incredible? Yorkshire poops through gap in crate to newspaper outside.

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

After over 200 case studies, I thought I have heard all stories about puppy toilet training in Singapore.

In this case, the owner places a piece of newspapers on the floor outside the crate, outside the upper left corner of the crate. The left half of inside the crate is also lined with newspapers. The right half will be the soft toy bed (bottom right) and an empty space for placing the feed bowl. The feed bowl is removed after eating within few minutes.

"The Yorkshire barks when he soils the newspapers," the lady owner said. "I change them. He uses the cage as his bedroom nowadays."

Nothing surprising to me. Puppies want their den and sleeping area to be clean, by instinct.



"He can poop between the gaps of the wire crate, at the upper left corner, to pass stools on the papers outside the crate (outside the upper left corner).

She knew I find this incredible. "It is true," she said. This shows that the puppy just wants to keep its den very clean as he sleeps there. But pooping through the wire gaps of the wall of the crate and out onto the newspapers. This is incredible. I have no reason to believe she is lying.

Poops 2 x/day (normal). Pees a lot. Possibly normal as dry food makes some puppies thirsty and drinks a lot. Feed bowl not kept in crate for long time. Restricted feeding is good as puppy poops after eating twice a day. If he eats many times, he poops more times.
