Successful in 21 days to paper train. Still goes to the tiled areas when the couple works. Why so spiteful? Barks but kept quiet for one hour when the male owner showed him the cane. But not with the female owner. Why? Singaporeans. Solutions in Toilet Training Your First Puppy. Dr Kong Sing's book.
