Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore
First reported as Case No. 353

A CASE OF NOISE NUISANCE
http://puppytoilettraining.blogspot.com/2006/07/353-noise-nuisance-7-week-old-jack.html

"The puppy is very intelligent," the lady with sparse hair on top of her head and most likely to be her sixties said, "When I say 'Koon Koon', the puppy just sleep immediately." 'Koon Koon" means 'sleep' in Hokkien Chinese dialect.

A tall dark brown skinned thin man in his early twenties was with the mother. "You are still doing National Service?" I asked him as he was sun-burnt. Like those dark brown bitter chocolate.



"No," the young man in black spectacle frames said. "I am working in a bank." He slept near the puppy in the living area for the past days but the puppy would whine and bark at 1 am and 4 am. How to solve this problem?

"We live in the older 3- and 4-room HDB apartments," the mother said. "The walls are thin and neighbours will not be happy. This puppy is so alert that he will wake up immediately and sleeps little." The puppy perked up his ears. I knew what she meant about the thin walls and the noise nuisance of barking dogs.

Now, what is the solution?

"Bring the puppy to the bedroom at night," I said. "He missed the contact and warmth of his siblings and mother as he was separated physically after being purchased from the home breeder. He might want body contact?" I speculated.



It is also possible that night shift workers amongst the neighbours might have come home. The alert Jack Russell must have tried to warn the owners?


Sep 16, 2006 REVIEW OF THIS CASE.

In the first week, many puppies barked.

In this case, the Jack Russell barked at 1 am and 4 am. He was asking the owner to change his soiled newspapers so that he could have a clean den.

Not many first-time owners are aware of this communication and considers the puppy a noise nuisance, disturbing the neighbours in the apartment building. Some first-time owners have discovered this fact and changing soiled newspapers solved the noise nuisance problem.
