Just brought home a seven-weeks old GR eight days ago. I'm trying to toilet-train her using the newspaper method. I even swabbed the top layer with her urine. It doesn't work even though I catch her in mid-stream and carry her over to the newspaper. She prefers to return to the same spot to poo and pee despite having used a few household cleaners/disinfectant to treat the spot.
I learnt that dogs will still be able to smell the scent of their poo/pee despite having cleaned the spot thoroughly. What's needed is an enzymatic cleaner such as Simple Solution's Stain & Odor Remover or Nature's Miracle.
Does anyone here know where I can get these locally? Perhaps something similar? I visited pet stores at Ikano, Taman Megah and MV-Mega Mall but couldn't find any. Appreciate some useful pointers. Thanks.
Thank you for the suggestion. I've done exactly as adviced but my puppy prefers to tear up the newspapers. Anyway I bought a playpen to restrict full access of the house.
Hi, i'm not an expert on dog, i just have 1 precious one..., just want to share my experience with you, dog when they are young, they tends to do business everywhere, we need to be patient to their habbit :) ofcourse training is still needed but when they grow up (about 1 yr old), they will automatically potty trained. taking care of puppy just like taking care of a baby :) just treat them like a baby, then u will be more patient :) good luck
