404. The Silkie Terrier wakes up everybody at 4 am.

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

Silkie Terrier, Male, 18 weeks. Purchased 3 days ago.
Crate + pee pan in the kitchen.

Barks to wake up everybody at 4 am.
Must clear stools at 4 am.

Steps on stools in crate.
Poops at 4 am and 12 noon.
Eats at 7 am and 8 pm. But the puppy did not poop within an hour. Why?

Distraction by owner after feeding. Play with feed bowl after eating. Owners attention.
So, forget to pass stools? Don't play with puppy within 1 hour after eating to get him to poop after eating.

Praised when poop and pee inside the crate.
But still wakes up owner at 4 am to clear the stools.

IN THIS CASE, the Silkie is trying to keep its crate as a sleeping and eating place and want to eliminate outside the crate. Neutralise urine on the bedroom floor.
