343. Replace diapers when the wife has gone overseas

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

The male Shih Tzu who is fearless and bites the owner even when 'spanke' was toilet trained on diapers (puppy training pads). The wife insisted on this method, but when she had to go overseas to work, the husband swopped it for newspapers.

"It is cleaner than newspapers," I said. "Did it work?"

"He will pee on it sometimes but then shreds the papers more than he did to the diapers," the husband said.

"You need to use soiled newspapers with his urine smell," I said.

"I use a toilet training aid - smelly stuff," the husband said. "But now he disappears to a corner to poop."

"You need to confine him first," I said. "It may take 4 weeks of training."

"So troublesome," the husband said.

With confinement, persistence and patience, paper training will work. Male Shih Tzus with alpha leadership qualities like this puppy are not so easily tamed!
