Hi guys i got just myself a MS, Ace smile.gif
Im keeping it upstairs in my living room and am trying to train it to peepoo in my toilet. usually after food it will cry and run around its cage like it wants to come out. That signals pee/poo time thn ill bring it to my toilet and let it do its business. Im not letting it run freely around yet cos it hasnt taken its full vaccination but when i do, i wish it would always go to my toilet to peepoo. how can i train it to do tht before i let it run around freely? thanks smile.gif
Also, i soak Ace's food so its softer for him but its makes his beard really wet, should i remove the water after the food is soft?
And the treats that i use are kinda hard, i only give it half now when i try to make it sit by its back down and spamming "SIT!". When it does sit i quickly give it. Is this the right way? Btw the treat looks too hard for my 7 weeks old pup. Or is it not?

Hey congrats with a new puppy, nice name!!!

I was as excited last month when i brought mine home tongue.gif
As of today, my pup is toilet trained, knows how to sit, wait n shake hand laugh.gif

Toilet training:
Use positive way in training. Place the wee wee pad/newspaper on the floor of the toilet so she'd know which corner you'd want her to pee/poo. If possible, block off unnecessary parts of the toilet so that he/she wont go wonder off n forget to pee. Since he's new to you, if he does a mistake in the house, don't beat him... take the wee wee pad/newspaper n soak the pee , then place it in the toilet n let him smell it. Make sure you clean up the area he soiled.
Take him to the toilet at certain times of the day such as: after he wake up (morning/naps), after drinking water, after playing.
When you take him to the toilet, just when he's about to pee, say 'Wee', then praise him N GIVE HIM A TREAT. I guarantee after a few times, he'll wee there whenever u bring him into the toilet. Stop giving the treats once he's very familiar with it (maybe by 1-2 weeks), just praise enough.

Food:
I had the same problem... used to soak the food but very messy (did it for 2 days oni)... so now i don't soak it any more, no problem smile.gif
If you feel he eat too fast... then hand feed him half the food, then place the bowl on the floor for him to finish the rest on his own. This is also a good chance to teach him how to sit by using his meals. Use the way Rayne explained, i used the same way to teach my puppy smile.gif
But do note... don't spam the word 'sit'... you're making him ignore the few times you said in the beginning. Say the word 'sit' only when you see his bum is about to hit the floor.

Treats:
I break the treats to half too for my pup... but do note... don't over feed him! treats are food too... It's safer if you separate the amount of treats for the day so you won't accidentaly give him too much.

Biting:
This... i dunu how to help you... mine still biting lol! plus my pup very very snappy... while she walk beside me, she will take any chance she have to bite my leg sweat.gif
But it's also a good opportunity for you to teach him not to bite too hard... which is important. It's called biting inhibition.
My pup still bites (now 3+ mths old d) but not hard... which is good coz Schnauzer teeth are sharp!!!

Hi, found a female schnauzer recently in usj 2. She has salt pepper coat and knows basic commands as well. I brought her to the vet and comfirm shes only 1 year +. Shes really friendly and gets excited easily. Pls let me know if you guys know anyone that lost their ms around the area. If i couldnt find the owner i would have to find someone to adopt her ( i already have 3 dogs, otherwise i would keep her.)

Congrats congrats!!! rclxms.gif
What's her name?

Yeah... when i got my pup also she is ungroomed... originally i wanted to leave it like that, coz look cuter... like teddy bear. But then very hot for her coz she don't stay in aircond room. If she's staying in aircond room then should be ok gua...
But if ungroomed oso ok gua, got many ppl leave their pups ungroomed until finish vaccination... just see your pref. If she's hot she'll know how to cool herself down... like lie down on the marble floor or sit under the fan.

If you happen to want to groom her... a piece of advice... dont send her to the pet shop to groom. I did that mistake, but lucky she never catch any virus. I just oni groom her second time, Jason help me. Very good service plus he comes to your house, so no need worry she get exposed to any virus/bact.

Good luck in the training, and take good care of her! Such a great addition to the family before CNY.
Hope that we'll have a gathering soon for all our puppies and the adults to meet up icon_rolleyes.gif

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!!! smile.gif

Wanted to ask if any of you experienced this before, lately my girl makes alot of noise... not barking, but like the... i don't know how to explain (manja sound?)
Whenever i'm out of sight she whines alittle, when i carry her also she whine abit.... she don't whine for long, but is it normal???

She wasn't like that a week back...
Also, i never pamper her much... if she whines, i don't go there n sayang her or anything like that, i just ignore her until she quiet... but she's still like this... why???
