WHERE IS THE PUPPY'S TOILET AREA?

For Singaporeans, indoor toilet areas are the floor tiles, newspapers or puppy diapers put on the kitchen, bathroom and balconies and living areas. A baby gate at the kitchen entrance will be good as the puppy is a social animal and needs to see his pack members. Some small breeds use the part of the bedroom.

Outdoors - usually grass downstairs. Pick up the poop in a plastic bag and dispose of it in the rubbish bin. Grass patches become yellow after the puppy has peed on it. Some puppies prefer one area. Others just eliminate on grassy areas.

Large breeds such as the Golden Retrievers are best toilet trained outdoors. However, many apartment-living ones have been successfully toilet trained to use the bathroom floor or end corridors as toilet areas. They are used to the hard flooring surface.

Indoors and outdoors. A daily routine of feeding and exercise will give the puppy time to eliminate. Usually the owner wakes up late during weekends. The puppy will sometimes bark to wake up the owner to go to the toilet outdoors. During rainy days, the puppy may go to the indoor toilet locations.
