261. Was the "clever" mini-maltese paper-trained in 4 days?

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

Is there such a puppy? Just spray some urine smell on newspapers. She pees and poops on day 2 after purchase. After that paper-trained 100%.

"She goes to eliminate on the newspapers in the midst of playing with the children," the gentleman said. "After her business, she continues playing."

This 3-month-old female mini-Maltese was paper-trained within 4 days successfully. I was impressed.

So easily impressed? Was this inborn intelligence?

Feed bowl left in left front side crate. 3 times a day, the owner throws away the uneaten dry puppy feed. Put in fresh ones.

The puppy poops 2-3 x a day. Will not poop overnight in the crate which is her sleeping area. She waited till the morning. She was taken out to the papers to pee and poop.

The water bottle was attached to the right side. The crate door was locked unless somebody was at home to take the puppy out.

There was something missing in this toilet training method, I thought.



So easy to toilet train her? She was from the pet shop and was used to the crate floor plan. She would have peed onto the pee pan below and pooped inside the crate.

On further asking, the owner said that for the first week, the maid (domestic worker) too the puppy out 3 hourly, to the newspapers.

Close monitoring and training the mini-maltese result in 100% success in paper training.
