The weekend was tiring and hectic. Have been sleeping as late as 9am and getting up as early as 12pm ever since Yu Dan arrived. Mainly clearing his poo poo and to monitor him. He has been quite a wreckage for starters. Chewing of pee pads, peeing and pooing out of the tray, whining/crying/barking etc.
Yu Dan is very intelligent, he's more of a poodle side I would say as Maltipoo may have character of either a maltese or poodle as they are crossbred. Poodles are said to be world's second most intelligent breed.
On the first day, he got to know his name. Well, still depends whether you are doing the things he likes, if not he can ignore you for all he wants. Guess he doesn't like to be disciplined.
Second day, he learns how to sit but he only sits if you have his food on your hand. Will take time to train him to do without the food.
On the third day, he is 80% pee tray trained. The other 20% was due to him having leaks, unable to get to the pee tray in time and also, stepping on his own poo and walks around leaving his paw print all over the floor within his zone. Have to figure out how to get him not to step on his on poo on the tray.
The third night was crazy. Yu Dan has been whining and crying when we went to bed. He went on and on from 9am till 2pm. Kudos to him... We couldn't go to him as it will make him think that whining/crying/barking is alright. Have to let him have the perception that it doesn't work that way. He has to be good and nice to have affection given to him. Till now he did not bark anymore, lets hope it stays this way.
