What is CAESAR doing when he 3 - 4 months old?

 After Caesar knows where to pee & poo at the pee tray, we start to teach him the command of " Sit ", "Stay", "Wait", "OK" which applies to his feeding method. 

 From the beginning, we feed him three times per day (morning 7 a.m, afternoon 3 p.m and dinner 7 p.m).  The morning one is OK but until afternoon, we used the automatic pets food feeding to feed him, he will poo after having his food and then poo within an hour, and before we come home he will eat the poo on the floor.  *headache* 

 After several occasion, we noticed that Caesar loves a clean environment, so once he poo at the pee tray he will not go to the pee tray to pee but he will pee at another place, he'll eat his own poo because as a puppy, his digestive system is not fully build yet, thus not all the food being digested and those undigested ones will be release in his poo, thus his poo contains the smell of his food so he will eat and doesn't know that's poo.  So, we decided to change his food feeding from twice per days instead of three times per days.  In the afternoon, we feed him dessert like cake, banana or apple.  *cake is bought from pet shop* 

We told our friends that our puppy will eat his poo, she borrows us a product called S.E.P, which is a powder form, smell like mint flavor and use to add a teaspoon onto his food for him to eat.  This product will make his poo become bitter thus dogs dislike that kind of smell and won't eat it.  We used it from mid February till now and so far so good, it's really work for Caesar.  So far until now we didn't see him eat his poo again and leave it there but we don't know what'll going happen if we leave his poo for few hours? would he eat? we don't know but what we know is that he will not touch his poo for about an hour or two, he just leave it there, however we unsure if he will eat it if left unclean for hours.



This is the product our friends borrow to us.

How do we train Caesar the command of "Sit", "Stay", "Wait" and "OK"? 

Caesar is very good boy and we don't really spend a lot of time to train him hard.  When he sees us holding his food he will automatically sit and we just give him a "sit" command.  Then after we put down his food on the floor, of cause he will go and eat when we put it down, so what we do? we take away his food and give him "sit" command, then "stay" command - using hand, then ask him to "wait" command, and when we give him "OK" command, we push him to the food, so he knows that "OK" is mean you can eat now...  


The cute cakes and bread we bought for him from the pets shop (Pets Lover at Vivo City)


Sit, Stay & Wait


"OK" to eat

This is how we train him the 4 commands.  

After he get used to the 4 commands, we start to leash him at home.  Let him to familiar with the leash so that we can bring him out to the park.  Of cause he struggle and hate the leash until now he still don't like the leash.  Nowadays, we put on the leash on his body just let him familiar himself with it, and then after we only bring him out once he cool down.  We brought him to the dog park near our house.  It's he first time to go outside at the park and also is our first time to bring a puppy to the park too.  We were worry and thinking what is he action the first time outing and will he scared? or will he just haul? 


No hauling but just scared... but we still ask him to walk and encourage him with a treat.. so he walks until tired we find a place to sit.  These are the pictures we took him..  



What so happening there? What's that? 



Worry face~ 


Are you taking my picture? *smell my camera*

We rest about half an hour, he likes getting used to it.  And finally he lets me taking his picture with a side face big smile and the sitting position with his handsome face.


my side face - big smile

After that, we bring him to the dog run, released his leash and let him run and play with his friends.  These are the pictures that he plays with his new friends - ♥ His first meeting new friends ♥


Let's go together

The below pictures taken when he is 4 months old, we bring him to East Coast Park beach side.  The first time he went to the beach.  Look at him, he had so much fun at the beach but he also scared the sound of wave hitting on the shores, he don't dare to go near to the sea, so he just play on the sand.

CAESAR - Potty Training

19 January 2014, the first day Caesar at our new home with us in the afternoon.  First thing, we have to do with him is let him adapt to the place that we prepared for him.  Caesar doesn't look like he scared in the stranger place.  He looks like already familiar with us and the place.  I think because we always visit him when he still at the pet shop.  So, he familiar with us.  




And, we gonna potty train him.  This is the first thing we have to train him to pee on the pee tray we bought for him- orange color from Pets Station and with pee pad in the pee tray.



Caesar is still a puppy so he physically can't hold his pee beyond an hour for each month of their age.  So, after he drank water about half an hour he will pee on the floor.  And we need to clean the pee on the floor and teach him where should he to pee...  We used the Training Pad to absorb his pee and put it in the Tray.. After the training pad absorbed his pee, we bring it close to his nose for him to smell, and in the same time we tell him that " I want you to pee here" (bring him to the place where we want him to pee) although he doesn't know what are we saying but he can feel what we want him to do.  



But of cause he sometimes pee to the right place and sometimes pee to the wrong place (on the floor), and we went to the Pets Lovers center to buy a BYOPET spray (recommended by the staff)  that can remove the odor of the pee and poo on the floor. 



This is the one we bought it and at the same time we also seek advice from our friend, how does he toilet train his dog.. And he told us not to throw away the pad immediately and let the tray absorbed the smell his pee & poo but he is using the "kitchen towels" to absorb his dog pee & poo.  




And we did it, we used our Training Pad to absorb his pee & used the Kitchen Towels to clean his poo.  We used the Pad to absorb the pee & the smell of the poo inside the tray for a day, didn't throw away.. So, when he pee & poo inside the tray, we praised him & give him a treat to let him know he is doing the right thing.  Slowly he began to understand pee & poo in the pee tray, reducing the treat for him.




Finally, after 3 days, he always pee & poo inside the tray but sometimes he will forgotten and miss-Q (pee on the floor) then we scolded him.. We are so happy that he knew where to pee and poo and reduce our work to clean the floor and the smell.... Now, we throw away the Pee Pad when the pad is full.. =) 




More exciting things is that he knows the potty instructions we gives him. e.g. Pee is "shee shee", Poo is "poo poo".  When we want him to go pee, we just give him instruction - "go shee shee", it's very exciting when he follows our instruction to go to the tray pee & poo.
