High Crate + paper training

"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 knwe how to do.

"Any spanking?" I asked.

"Yes."

She showed me a mobile phone clip of the crate with newspapers and the puppy escaping out of the open crate by climbing over.

Paper-training on pee pan - 2 Miniature Schnauzers

Jan 20, 2009
Chinese New Year coming in Jan 25, 2009.

Single lady
2 Miniature Schnauzers 3 years old. Female on heat 3 days. Male neutered but had skin disease on shoulder area. Pigmented and red ear pinnae. Painful. Groomer had given an injection. Boyfriend had told her to clean dog ear's daily. She cleaned every 2 days, both dogs. "Nobody cleans their ears daily," I refered to human beings. "My boyfriend does it," she said. "Why?" I asked. She said "I don't know".

Sleeping - Bedroom
Elimination - Each has his pee pan.

PEE PAN TRAINING
1. Male bought first. Paper-trained on pee pan inside the play pen after 1 week of confinement inside the playpen. The playpen is opened up and the male dog knew what to do. "More intelligent than the female," the lady bought the female 6 months younger than the male. "The female took 4 weeks."

"Too much distraction," I speculated."The male plays with the female and she forgot to pee in the Pee Pan."

"No," she corrected me. "The female wanted to play all the time, with the male."

Now grown up, the dogs do know where to eliminate. They go outdooors once a week and knew what to do too.

Eating: 2 times a day. Usually poop within 10 minutes after eating.
Pees: 2 times a day. Will wait for owner to pee in the bedroom's pee pan.
