Her First Walk and outside experience

We started to walk Amber after 2 weeks. Since Amber has not taken her 3rd jab, we only walk her around our corridor and carry her whenever we go nearby to buy food. We bought her socks and shoes to keep her paws clean during walking but it was a disaster to wear them on her. She kept trying to chew and pulled the socks out. She walked quite awkwardly too, probably not used to have something on her paws, well it was her first time anyway :D




Amber's feeling awkward wearing socks


She has gotten pretty used to her collar and leash during her 1st week training so we thought it would be really easy to start her walk but we were wrong! Haha! She did not dare to walk out of our front door! (Do not keep pulling the leash if puppies do not want to walk out by themselves, if pulled, it will only make them afraid of the outside world). We used lot of treats to lure Amber, by putting a line path of her favorite treats that linked out to the corridor. Soon enough, she got out of the house and started sniffing the corridor's floor, and came the first walk!

      Hi, we trained her to do it on the pee tray, no we did not get any pee solutions, it is not very effective for most dogs anyway :)

      Hi, it doesn't work by just typing the details out for you, housebreaking a dog takes months and you need basic knowledge of how a dog pee and poo, when and why to be able to train your dog properly.

      You sound like a new owner and may need guidance on this, we suggest you take up a basic obedience course from us or any dog schools outside that conducts housebreaking classes :)

First time to Pasir Ris Farmway (Pet Farm)

04 Feb, my husband's colleague decided to get another puppy so he drove us to Pasir Ris Farmway to look for puppy since we wanted one as well. He already has a 1 year Male Yorkshire Terrier so he was looking for another breed to accompany his Yorkshire. The farm was really hard to get to if you do not drive a car, unless you don't mind calling a cab. It's in the deepest part of the road and there ain't any buses around. When we first went to the first shop at farmway 02, we met a very stuck-up pet owner. Very "hao lian(proud)" with his puppies and even said all his prices are very CNY, all ended with $xx88 which means good luck for the Chinese people. We saw a pretty red toy poodle but it was sold, so the shop owner told us to buy his other puppies instead since all his puppies are so-called "high quality". I think that shop was kinda overpriced for every puppy that he quoted. One of the pups that he was selling, poodle was just besides it, seek...
