Crate training is not a brutal form of training, somewhat the reverse in fact. When your dog is properly crate trained, they will love their crate. Crates act as a sanctuary for dogs and can leave you with peace of mind while you are away from home. Crate training helps with housebreaking, helps with separation anxiety, and helps lessen destructive behaviors such as chewing, and it keeps your dog safe while you’re away. While training is always easier the younger your dog is, it is still pos

cial step to crate training your dog. Keep his crate in an active part of the house and for small periods of time leave the room while he is locked in there. Start gradually with just a few minutes at a time, praising him reassuring him each time you come back into the room.
Reinforcement: In the beginning your dog will probably start whining, crying, or barking. It is important to not move or say anything after you get back until he has quieted down. If you hear your dog whining stay firm for the entire amount of time you have decided to be out of the room or until he has quieted down. When you return to the room, let your dog out of his kennel praise him if he has been good, otherwise ignore him until he has calmed down and then proceed to praise him.
Crate training is a vital tool that can help you to put an end to other bad behaviors your dog may be exhibiting. Here are some important reminders: remove all collars and harnesses, provide water for your dog, let your dog go to the bathroom before you leave, and lastly if your puppy is exceptionally young and has not been properly potty trained yet it is best to leave him in an open pen with paper so as not to soil inside the kennel.

House training a new puppy can cause a lot of frustration and disappointment with the newfound friend! Here are a few tips that can help with the training and make your new puppy and yourself a little happier in the homecoming…
Coming home
You bring your puppy home for the first time to surprise your wife and kids. You carry little ball of fur to the house, set it down and the kids and wife get really excited! Then the puppy gets excited to! The problem is the puppy gets so excited she starts piddling all over the floor, the kids, and the wife… not a good thing for the first encounters!
So what went wrong? Nothing really, if you had a bladder the size of a thimble you probably piddle when you get excited to! My recommendation would be this: before you bring the puppy into the house, take a puppy to where she is expected to do her business in the first place. Let her sniff around but don’t play with her… this is a place for business not play, she has to learn that this part of the lawn is hers and for a potty breaks only!
When she finds a spot that seems suitable to her and starts to relieve herself, repeat the words or the phrase you want her to associate with going out for a potty break: “Go Pee” or “Potty Time” or whatever phrase you feel most comfortable with. Its best that you make it a short and easily recognizable, using the same inflection every time so that she can easily memorize the phrase and it’s meaning.
When she’s done, THAT is when you make a big fuss over her, shower her with affection, even give her a little treat in you have one. In general just make her feel that she did the right thing!
Now when you take the puppy in the house she’ll be less likely to piddle all over everyone and everything! From here on, the first meeting will be a lot more enjoyable!
A House Within A Home – Crate Training And Its Advantages
Some people see crate training as being inhumane however it is actually comforting for a puppy or dog to have their own private space that they can go to, that they can call their own. This is why crate training is a wise thing to do!
A “crate” in the sense that I’m using it here is actually any container, box or area that is closed off from the rest of the room — that keeps the puppy segregated and still allows her to feel a part of the “action” and thereby feeling a part of the family. So the kitchen, Den or Living room would be a great place for this. Click to continue »
