I have a four month old puppy with separation anxiety and I just got a crate for him. How do I crate train him to like his crate so I don’t traumatize him??
And when I have to leave how do I put him in so he doesn’t think it’s a punishment?

I am getting a 12 week old shih tzu and I want to use a wire crate for training. Is it necessary to buy a plastic travel crate for the car as well?

i am getting a new puppy in a few weeks, and, having never housebroken an animal before, was looking up methods. it seems that crate training is the best way to go, especially since neither one of us can be home all day to watch it. he has a dog that he found, and was already housebroken. he seems to think that all i have to do is take the puppy out a lot and that will be enough. as we are renting, so the sooner the house training is over with the better. plus, i don’t want the puppy getting into anything during the day. he is a very small breed and my boyfriend’s dog is very gentle, but more mid sized. when i brought up crate training, my boyfriend acted like he couldn’t believe i would do such a thing. i considered finding middle ground by blocking off a non-carpeted room, but it doesn’t teach them to hold it.

is there a good middle ground method? if not, then how can i convince him that crate training is an ok way to go?
