Dog-Secrets - Crate Training
Monday, December 3rd, 2007Hey Dog-Secrets,
Dog Quote: I have a great dog.
She’s half Lab, half pit bull.
A good combination.
Sure, she might bite off my leg, but she’ll bring it back to me.

Crate Training
One of the best things you can do for your puppy early in life is
crate training.
Many people are under the misconception that crate training a puppy
is cruel but this is far from the truth.
Dogs actually get a lot of benefit from having been crate trained
and they generally come to like the fact that they have been crate
trained.
Many people also assume that crate training is difficult, but this
is also far from the truth.

Dogs, naturally avoid soiling the area where they will eat and
sleep and this is one of the reasons why crate training is
important.
It is essential to take notes of the times when your puppy likes to
eat, sleep, and ‘go to the toilet’ because this will help determine
the best times for the crate training.
Crate training is not about keeping your dog locked up for extended
lengths of time.
Crate training needs to be handled with the care that one would
expect from a family member.
You should remember that, done correctly, crate training will
enhance the lives of both you and your dog.
There are bound to be mishaps along the way when your puppy might
‘mess’ in the crate but he/she should not be punished for this, as
it is highly unlikely that it would have been intentional.
Crate training is the best method of potty training a puppy by far,
so it is well worth doing when they are young to eliminate one area
that can be a problem with dogs, as they grow older.
While it might seem that your dog doesn’t like crate training
initially, (many dogs will fuss, whine and bark when they first
start crate training) most crate trained dogs learn to love their
crate as their own place, much like children have their favorite
blanket for security that they will carry around.
Crate training usually starts with short periods of 10 to 15
minutes slowly building up to two hours as they become more
accustomed to their crate.
