Dog Training Ultimate Guide

Being consistent and not giving up on your dog is what it takes to get started in Crate Training Dogs. Many dog trainers recommend this process to get your dog housebroken. Having a dog go to the bathroom in the house is not acceptable, so this is an easy way to train.

A dogs natural instincts is not to soil his sleeping area or den. When the dog learns that the crate is his special place then he will not soil his sleeping area. A dog likes to have his sleeping area clean like we do.

A cage or crate is a place to put your dog for a short period of time. They are used for travel by airplane, bus, or car. A person needs to get their pet used to it so they can be put in it without causing any stress on the pet.

Never use a crate for a means of punishment. This is the dogs special place to rest in; he should feel protected and safe in his home.

This type of training will take a lot of patience and time. It can take days to weeks depending how your dog responds to the training.

Crates come in all different sizes and shapes. There are cloth ones that are only good if the owner is nearby. The plastic ones work well and usually have a holder for the food. If you need a cage that can be folded buy a metal cage and it will fold flat. In order to get the right size, be sure the dog can stand up and turn around.

In order to get started in training your dog to use the crate, put it near the owner. Get some toys to encourage him into the cage. If necessary get little pieces of food and place them near the door and slowly move the food inside the crate.

Being sure there is fresh water daily is very important. A dog will whine until he gets used to his new home. Do not let him out when he whines but wait until he is done, so he learns whining is not okay.

People work and are gone most of the day, if this is your situation, find an alternative to the crate. A dog should not be kept in the crate all day. He is going to get crated at night so he needs freedom during the day.

Dogs crying at night is not uncommon, he is in a new place and needs to adjust. Puppies have to be taken out at night, and you will need to decide if a dog just wants out or has to go to the bathroom. Keeping the cage near you at night will help the dog to not feel so lonely.

Remember to take your pet outside after eating, the dog or puppy needs exercise on a regular basis so do not use the crate to contain him all day. It should be a good and happy place for short periods of time and a place to sleep at night.

This is just portion of our “non-tactical” obedience. This is simply a series of obedience behaviors that prepare the dog for more complicated control and tactical obedience scenarios. When either dog or handler make an error, it allows us to teach the handlers how to correct the problem under low stress.
