696. Email query about toilet training

I am Dr Sing from Toa Payoh Vets. Thank you for your email.
Basically, you need to confine him for the first 2-4 weeks and let out only after he has pooped. If not, you can't be successful. An example of my advice to a puppy owner is at:

Hi,
I adopted a 2yrs plus Maltese in Jun this yr,been trying to toilet train him for the past 3months.I've tried scolding him,beating him,dripping house-breaking aid on the newspaper but nothin seem to work.It's real frustrating when I see his poos & pees in the whole house after I got Home from work.Feel like caging him up when I go to work but feel bad about caging him up.I moped the floor with dettol but he will still pee at the same spot again.Can you kindly teach me how to toilet train him properly?Thks.
