Crate Training Tips For Your New Dog

By Sara Reighard


Dog obedience training is one you need to have in mind when you bring home a new dog from the rescue center or a new puppy. He will be able to follow house rules and also have your dog safe, when you have the proper training. Training can make life easier for you and your dog; have the good relationship, because untrained dogs are difficult to live with. Here is some information regarding crate training because this is also part of dog training.

A crate is a good place for your dog when you leave house or when you need the time for him to be safe, and crate training is also good when housebreaking your dog. Your dog can be safe in the crate when doors are open, like when you have new something large delivered to your home. The crate can also be the secure and temporary place for your dog when you have a guest who is allergic to dogs or afraid of them. Keep in mind that a dog should not be left too long in the crate. Adult dogs can probably go for three or four hours in a crate without a bathroom break, but puppies definitely need to be walked about an hour or two at the most.

Your first step is to purchase a proper crate. You need a crate that is not too big or too small. Your dog should be able to lie down comfortably and also be able to turn around. But it doesn't need to be any bigger than that. It is a good idea to also purchase a soft crate pad for your dog's comfort. Many crates can break down flat to store easily, and that can be handy, as well.

The crate should never be a punishment; rather this should be a cozy spot where your dog feels comfortable. Begin by setting up the crate and allowing your dog to sniff and investigate the crate. Then place a treat inside and encourage the dog to go in and look around and enjoy the crate. Be sure to provide lots of praise. After a few trips inside the crate, close the door and stay nearby for a few minutes and then leave for a few minutes and take your dog out of the crate providing more praise. Eventually, you can work up to leaving the dog in the crate for an extended period of time, but you don't want the dog to associate the crate with abandonment or punishment.

For your potty training, get him familiar with the crate first and then lock the crate and leave him for about 45 minutes to an hour. After this, take him on a walk to the place where it is his bathroom. After getting success, praise your dog and get him some time outside the crate. Repeat the process more times until he understands where he will go for his bathroom. Provide plenty of positive feedback and praise. Dogs want to please their owners, and this is a huge source of encouragement for them.

It is wiser to contact an expert for help, and this is when it comes to dog obedience training.
