Benefits of Crate-Training Your Dog

- why should YOUR DOG need crate training???

Let me tell you why so much important!!

Crates keep curious puppies safely sequestered when you're not able to supervise them. Dogs instinctively try to keep their sleeping areas clean. As such, the crate helps puppies learn to hold and strengthen their bladder and bowel muscles, making housebreaking less of a chore for you and your dog.

A safe haven for your dog to calm down

No toy craziness, running or jumping on bed at night

Less pee/poo accidents with your puppy

Gets your dog used to small spaces for transporting

Structured start of the day (routine!)

Crate training has long been accepted by professional trainers and veterinarians as one of the quickest and least stressful ways to mold desirable behaviors in dogs. Although many new dog guardians initially reject the idea of using a crate because they consider it cruel or unfair to the dog, a crate helps satisfy the dog’s instinct to be in a den while alleviating many problems dogs and their people experience.

What is a dog crate

A dog crate is usually a plastic (often called flight kennels or Vari-Kennels) or collapsible metal enclosed pen that is just large enough for a dog to stand up and turn around. The crate is a place for the dog to be when no one is around to supervise him. It is the dog’s bed and sanctuary. Its purpose is to provide confinement for reasons of safety, security for the dog, house training, prevention of destructive behavior, and/or travel.

Why use a dog crate

Correctly and humanely used, a crate can have many advantages for both you and your dog:

You…

Can enjoy peace of mind when leaving your dog home alone, knowing that nothing can be soiled or destroyed-and that she is comfortable, protected and not developing any bad habits.

Can house train your dog quickly by using the confinement to encourage control, establish a regular routine for outdoor elimination, and prevent accidents at night or when your dog is left alone.

Can effectively confine your dog at times when she may be under foot (i.e., when you have guests, at mealtimes), over-excited, or bothered by too much confusion or activity (such, as lots of children running around the house).

Can travel with your dog safely and be assured that she will more easily adapt to strange surroundings as long as she has her familiar “security blanket,” her crate.

How To Prepare Your Dog For A first training session

How To Prepare Your Dog For A Training Session First and foremost, be sure to exercise your dog before a training session. The younger the pup, the more physical activity they will need to focus. However, you don’t want to wear them out completely, so opt for a brisk walk over a vigorous run. Keep training sessions short to avoid boredom and frustration. Five to ten minutes is best for dogs that are new to training. Be patient with your dog. Learning new things takes time and lots of practice. Schedule training two to three hours before mealtimes to prevent hunger-related distractions. Use tiny pieces of high-reward treats.

T ry these steps for desensitizing your dog to the doorbell: Put your dog on the leash, and ask a friend or family member to go outside and ring the doorbell or knock. Hold the leash tightly and say “no bark” as your dog starts barking after hearing the bell. Once your dog calms down, have him sit, and give him a treat and praise. Keep up this routine until he’s mastered not pulling on the leash and barking (don’t expect success in one training session – this will take some time!). Next, teach the same behavior with the same process when he’s off the leash. 2- TEACH HIM HOW AND WHERE TO SIT. Now that your dog isn’t g...
