462. HIGH floor level crate + pee pan OK for Silkie Terrier

Toilet Training Your First Puppy in Singapore



[http://www.toapayohvets.com]
"Don't tell him," the pet shop girl said. "Otherwise he will record your experiences." I was vaccinating the puppies on this Wednesday and in between the lull period, spoke to one of the dog owners.

Thin lady studying in the polytechnic.
Silkie Terrier 3-4 monthss.

"Can he jump into the high crate when he was a 3-month old puppy?"

"Yes."

"How do you paper-train?" I asked.

"Put newspapers on top of the floor grate. Tell him to pee there. Soon the dog knew how to do.

"Any spanking?" I asked.

"Yes," the young lady said that it took many times to monitor and train the puppy to go to the paper which is placed on top of the floor grate. In many cases, the floor grate is not covered by newspapers as the puppy is supposed to pee through the grate and not dirty his paws. But this will not lead to paper-training.

She showed me a mobile phone clip of the crate with newspapers and the puppy escaping out of the open top of the crate by climbing over. Some owners put two ropes or poles across the top to prevent such escapes.

Paper-training will be considered a success if the lady puts the papers outside the crate and the puppy eliminates on it later. Presently, the Silkie climbs up into the crate to do it.


HIGH Floor Crate + Pee Pan. This particular crate has at least 6 inches of height from floor grate to pee pan level. It is meant for longer-legged dogs as small ones like the Yorkshire or Pom can't hop into it. It is one of the configurations sold at certain pet shops in Singapore. A ramp is sometimes used by owners who had bought this crate to enable the short-legged Chihuahua to climb into it. However the puppy may refuse to climb into it.
