yes, i did give her treat and praise her, and i know
it takes time for her to go to the toilet
automatically. There is one morning when i need to
wash the toileT. I let her out and put her pee tray
just beside the toilet door, I saw her pee in the
tray. And from that moment i am very sure that she
recognise the pee tray.

Incredible but true success story due to you taking leave to train the little one. The pee tray has the urine smell. So the puppy now uses it as a toilet. Can you e-mail a picture of her inside her housing plus pee tray?

Please see attached the pictures. I didn't use
newspaper but floor mat and wash it everyday, because
she will shred newspaper, and i find it very hard to
stop her from shredding. The pee tray is at the
entrance and she sleep behind near toilet bowl.

cheers
