377. The Siberian Husky uses the apartment's cul de sac

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

The couple in their fifties were proud of this Siberian Husky living in an apartment. Thick coat and no skin problem for the past year after consulting me for skin problems when she was a puppy. Now she was coming in for her vaccination booster.

Not all Singaporeans want to keep small breeds.

"So how did you toilet train her?" I asked.

"The corner apartment has a small corridor," the man said. "She just uses that area as her toilet."

That was a good idea. The Husky considered the whole apartment as her living and eating area and would never eliminate inside. Big breeds eliminate a lot. So, it is important that they do it outdoors. Responsible owners do pick up the poop and wash the tiled area as neighbours might object to the smell.
