Dogs Obedience Training

August 8th, 2008 by admin

Try making your puppy’s first introduction to its new crate a fun activity by placing its favorite toys in the crate. If your dog is finding it difficult to sleep in its crate, give him/her a chewy toy at nighttimes, this will keep them occupied till they fall asleep. Toys can play a big part when crate training a puppy. Toys can be use for rewarding good behavior when crate training your puppy or dog.

Record the times when your dog likes to potty, e.g. in the mornings, after meals, when excited etc, then use these times to encourage your puppy to go “potty” outside. Rarely will dogs intentionally soil where they sleep.

If their crate isn’t too big, dogs are more receptive to going outside. Crate training a puppy boosts your dog’s potty training significantly. Make crate training your puppy and dog fun and rewarding, never punish your dog when he/she has an accident in their crate.

One of the major goals of crate training a puppy is to teach your dog that his or her crate is their special place where they can feel safe and secure. Crate Training is not about punishing your dog by banishing them to their crate for hours on end. Dogs may resist crate training and their crate at first, but it will be worth it in the end. While crate training a puppy is not difficult, you’ll need to be persistent.
