INTRODUCTION

Just when you think that you have time to write a letter to your mother. You had a busy morning of washing the car, tidying up the room of the children and hanging the clothes out to dry in the morning sun. You call the naughty 4-month-old male Great Dane with taped ears to eat his breakfast. Normally, he would pester you but this time, he just lay down. Not moving but his eyes watch you.


A big black spotted breed not interested in his food. Not getting up to chew your clothes' pegs.

Not interested in his breakfast. A big stainless steel bowl of the best premium dog food your employer has provided for him.



This is not the normal behaviour of any puppy. Nobody is at home except you. There is something wrong with the puppy as he does not jump and dance. What should you do now? What can you do before you phone your employer?

Dr Sing‘s book “Puppy Survival Secrets for the Domestic Worker in Singapore, Book 1” provides information, tips, case studies and answers on puppy health conditions experienced by the domestic workers in Singapore to help you take care of your employer’s puppy effectively. Dr Sing graduated from Glasgow University, Scotland in 1974 and has been practicing as a veterinarian in Singapore for over 30 years. The book is co-authored with and translated into Tagalog by Anna who is working at Dr Sing’s Veterinary Surgery in 2006.

Get a copy of the book from the book shop or e-mail judy@sinpets.com to order one now and be prepared in case you need answers when you are home alone. Home alone with the puppy who does not want to play with you because he or she is not well.

289. Dog Trainer Mark's secrets

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore

"What's your secret of success?" I asked Mark. "Is it a secret you should not tell me as this is your rice bowl."

The puppy owner was so desperate that she wanted to give him the pair of Shih Tzus shitting and peeing everywhere in the apartment.

The pet shop operator could not offer her any advice. She phoned him for advice late at night and wanted to give him the puppies.

Mark must have been successful otherwise the owner would not buy cakes to present to the office.

"Why don't you write a how-to for my research book on toilet training?" I asked Mark.

He shook his head. "There is no secret. Just write down the pee and poop times. Bring the puppy out according to a fixed schedule."

Is this so simple? This was his second success.
