345. Miniature Pinscher. No Shutting out or I bark non-stop, No smelly stuff or I don't eliminate

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

The young lady shared her tips.

lst week - keep the 14-week-old male Miniature Pinscher in the kitchen and close the door.

1. Put pee pan inside kitchen, near door. Newspapers cover pee pan and another piece outside pee pan. -----Pee Pan -----Newspapers to the right edge of it.

2. Use commercial toilet training aid, but puppy refused to eliminate on pee pan. He just too fastidious. However, upon removal of the smelly liquid, he eliminates on the papers. The pet shop operator had recommended this aid. Some pups are paper trained using this aid though. This could be a clean personality trait of the Miniature Pinscher but more research needs to be done.



3. If tray is soiled, he will not eliminate on it.

4. Eats 2x/day. Takes around 15 minutes. Asked for milk 30 min later. His routine.

5. Poops overnight and in the evening.

6. Keeps barking non-stop, so let him into living area after 10 days. Soft towel as bed in living area. Heads to pee pan when needed to eliminate.

Does not soil the living area expect once when distracted by excessive playing. Husband gave him a light spanking.

COMMENT

1. Should have a baby gate instead of shutting kitchen door as the puppy is a social animal.

2. He does not like being locked out, so barked non-stop, disturbing neighbours.

3. He does not like the smelling toilet training aid.

Overall, success in paper-training around 10 days. A happy owner.

4. Interesting information from Dog Fancy, Aug 2005, Page 46 - 51

I borrowed the magazine from the National Library, Victoria Street as part of my research into "Toilet Training of puppies". Below are some information extracted from this top dog magazine:

Miniature Pinschers are notoriously difficult to housetrain or obedience trained as they are "clever, easily bored and devious." There must be lots of patience, calmness and perseverance. Miniature Pinschers are not happy to go outside ininclement weather, a problem solved by litter training. Min Pins must be crated trained for less than 4 hours, so that they are safe if nobody is supervising them. Somebody must be home to let them out if you work all day.

The Min Pin resists your efforts to curb unnecessary barking. Sharp shrill barks can upset neighbours.

The above case of paper-training success in 10 days is one case noted in this research.
