267. Let the Maltese know that the apartment is her DEN. Not eliminate everywhere.
Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore
This Maltese was so good looking and clean. I had some time. So, I asked the Indian family how they toilet-train this gentle 14-week-old Female Maltese with clear eyes and clean white paws.
"Just pee and poop everywhere in the apartment for the past one month," the father said. "The puppy has a crate with door and pee pan below. But she just poops in the cage as well as in the apartment!"
Normally, puppies would keep the crate clean if it is their den. In this case, the puppy had freedom to roam the whole apartment. So, she does not know her toilet location.
MAKE SURE THE PUPPY KNOWS THAT THE APARTMENT IS HER DEN.
"Now that the puppy is still easy to toilet train, get her confined to a small area. Buy 4 pieces of fences to stop her roaming when not under supervision. Neutralise all floors including her crate thoroughly with vinegar:water 1:2. Put newspapers outside the crate. Feed her outside 2 X/day.
Presently, the puppy is given feed at all times. The feed bowl is left inside the cage. Sometimes she eats, sometimes not or eats overnight.
Watch for signs of turning, squatting, whining. Pick her up and put on the soiled newspapers (with urine smell). Say "pee pee". On success, give praises and treats.
She drinks a lot from the water bottle. Withhold water after 8 p.m.
I hope the family understands what I am talking about. If this puppy is not paper-trained or crate-trained, she will produce lots of pee and poop as she grows and make the apartment smelly. It is much harder to train an older dog as their mind is less trainable. Now is the right time. Better late than never!
