Bought your Puppy Course and crate training has made my young Doberman a champion! 🤩
Thank you! 🙏💪🇺🇲❤️
@@AmericanStandardK9 can you make a video about fear peeing I love to think my 8 month old puppy is 100% house train but any time he gets startled or excited or scared he has drops of pee how do I correct this?
@@Chill_Out_Zaythey grow out of it
Dogs are creatures who naturally live in dens. By placing warm blankets over the crate you create a dark warm safe environment that is natural for them
My girlfriend has her 2 Dobermans crate trained. It’s a full size kennel crate that they also sleep in and although it’s fully covered with only large vent holes she covers the top and part of the door with a blanket they sleep like babies. And I believe it’s because of what you mentioned. They feel safe and comfortable in it.
YES great idea
@@KjtuionoI cover the crate too. But I have the part that faces the wall completely opened. Otherwise my dog would never sleep because she’d be distracted by everything.
My dog loves sleeping underneath the bed for this exact reason
That's a giant lie.
What you're taking this is obviously wolf myths, but wolves don't live in dens except for the mothers and their litters when they have one.
Otherwise, they just sleep in groups on the ground under cover like trees or bushes, that's all.
Stop spreading misinformation.
Crate training is essential. My dog viewed it as his refuge, rather than punishment.
My dogs love their kennel and go in all the time to chill without being locked in.
Love this comment because I never call it a “crate” I call it a kennel 😂
Ours loved his crate, too. You could tell when he needed to chill away from the kid noise. He would just sneak away.
Yes, many forget that Dogs benefit from this alot, its a place to chill and relax, almost like their comfort area. I've seen dogs go to their crates when they are being bothered by another dog or animal, idk why many think its some how harm thems(as long as the crate is a suitable size for the dog and they get outside time)
@@ethanhamlin8237same
exactly, gives them a place to go to get away from other pets, kids, you whatever. I also attach big chew bones into it with a wire thing I made so my shepherd can have big gross meaty bones to chew without taking them outside and bringing ants in or getting crap all over the couch bringing it all over the place
Plus I've found it's just really good for them when they have siblings to have their own space, their own zone where they can relax
The imagery of puppies in the other room practicing their sits, downs and stays 😂😂😂
When I got my three German shepherds, we already had three much smaller dogs that were quite older than the puppies.
Luckily, somehow the older ones taught all three of the youngsters how to go outside to do business. I honestly do not recall a single puddle, nugget, or incident in the house or in their crate. I guess for the basics you can rely on the older puppies. Now they could only teach them to quit barking at the damn squirrels .
You got lucky, that's about it. You cannot expect a dog to train your dog, that is your job & responsibility. If you neglect to do so, you'll have problems in the future. ^^'
*reading this as my dog is barking at the squirrel… or bird…. Or air….
@@BlueDauntless oh make no mistake, mine are also still doofuses that will let the whole mountains side know that we have a sparrow in the tree by the window.
@@aliceblack3533 no, what it is is actually pack and female leader mentality. After it happened, I kind of looked it up. The two female, smaller dogs cleaned up after the little dogs when they did have an accident. And they showed them how things work, because that’s how Pac mentality functions. I’m not relying on anything, I was just sharing a little bitty cool story.
And did I mention I did not rely on any training. My dogs have got more training, that has given me more of a bill, then most peoples tractors cost. Look up the cost of a John Deere tractor. My dogs are well taken care of don’t you worry you’re pretty little head about that .
Crates like a collar and leash is a great training tool. As my dogs grew up after training ( as this person is explaining) it was " their" safe space. Their den. Doors were no longer even on thr crate.
Dogs don't live in dens, wolves neither. Let's not misuse that word.
It's not because something is not natural for them that it's not useful.
Collars and leashes are obviously not natural and you wont see wolves wearing any. It's still useful.
Thank you! I don't understand why people are so against crate training? I have crated all of my dogs! It's a safe space for them. When anxiety levels are high it provides a place for them to calm themselves!❤❤
Rational people aren't against crate training. It's the psycho animal rights people that don't know what they're talking about. They call everything under the sun animal abuse
Because its shocking to see a family member in a cage. My dogs also have safe spaces in my home, its just not cages. You do you tho, there is not just one way to raise a dog.
My dad asked me how I’d feel if I was in put in a crate 😒 He’s so opposed to animals in crates regardless of the benefits of crate training. It’s also putting human emotions on the animal. They aren’t humans.
@@Ilovedallthepeople It's still good to teach them for it because of the need for it during trips or emergencies like the vet, as the video talks about.
In the house, it's useful when they're young to avoid those issues, but as adults it indeed become useless. And is ugly looking on top of that.
@@tanez778 I agree its very ugly lol, just a cage in your living room. But also i have never been in a situation where carrying a whole cage with the dog in it is more practical or comfortable than carrying the dog on a leash or in my arms. Im sure it has some use tho for some people.
I never thought of crate training like the baby in the crib. Good advice. I've heard, too, that a crate gives a dog a sense of security because it's his "private" space.
My parents have had several dogs that when they began to get over stimulated by people visiting or something would go chill in their crate for a bit. It was their calm down/safe space.
Absolutely!! I strongly agree with crate training!! It's good for the humans and the dogs just as you said!! You rock Garrett!!
Heck we crate trained our 4 dogs (English bulldog, Pug, Bassett hound and GSD-Lab mix), in our master bedroom - when we went to bed, they all went into their respective crates… all right next to each other (we had a huge master suite w/ sitting area, FP and TV, w/ direct egress to our rear patio and adjacent backyard)… we kept their crate spaces low-lighted, w/ all but the from gates covered, creating a personalized “den” for each
Thank you. I didn’t want to crate train my puppy in the future, I see it’s worth it
Mine love their crates. They know it's a safe space that's entirely their area, and they put themselves there when they feel insecure or afraid, without any prompting. I'm convinced that having their own safe area helps their security and confidence and has made them better behaved as a consequence of that.
It’s a MUST. It’s always a great option and offers so much flexibility!
My GSD loves her crate. Comes to me whining if the door is closed for whatever reason and she can’t get in. That’s her safe space, and that’s a good thing
my dog loved her crate. i haven’t had to use it in a long time but she still sometimes will go over and sleep in it: it’s all about time spent in the crate and making it a positive situation. even if i had to crate her bc she was being naughty i was very careful not to treat it as though she was going in BECAUSE she was being naughty.
It’s a must! This guy knows his stuff! My dog goes in his crate on his own. We took the door off once he was trained. But it’s a safe place in there mind! Absolutely best thing I ever did!
Helps a lot when breeders get them started on loving their crates too. Saves the new puppy owner a lot of headache and grief, especially if they are first time puppy/dog owners.
Crate training was the best, most practical thing ive done for my dog, hands down. No stress for him at the groomer or vet if he has to in a crate for a bit, helped set up a good sleep schedule and helped him work through any separation anxiety. He very confident and knows we'll be back when we ask him to go in there for a bit.
The crate is very useful and dogs love it like a security blanket.
My dog is a presa canario and hes crate trained since day one. I absolutely recommend a crate to every dog. Just imagine u came as someone in to a appartment of someone else of knowing shit about the world. But u get introduced to a little own place, where u get all the things u need, with a consistent routine. And everytime u are overwhelmed with stuff, u can get back there and sleep all the day if u like. No one is bothering u. Its a blessing for everyone to have a place where u are secure.
Dude, I’ve been noticing your love of Casio watches for a while. You got a sub from me for your love of Casio/Gshock.
Crate training is so integral to developing several desirable character traits*, it boggles my mind that people don't do it. (*Proper potty training & bowel control, alleviation of separation anxiety, provides safe space & bed, not to mention everyone SHOULD be able to tell their dog to go lay down anywhere at anytime and have them be just fine with it.)
I have never used a crate in my life. Never had any problems with socializing or training without a crate.
@@bulldogjoe1804If your dog ever needed to be put in a crate, what would you do?
Such good advice. Works the same for newly adopted adult dogs. We make the crate a place they want to be in. Good things happen there that don't anywhere else. Helps to quickly house train them to a new house even if they were fostered and trained somewhere else. All my dogs and fosters love their crates.
Well said. Our dogs hang out in their crate all day with the door open. It’s their spot & they love being there. All I have to do is close the door when I need them to stay there.
We call our dog's crate her safe place. She sleeps with us now at 3 years old but always goes in her crate when needed. Her bed and toys are there.
My last dog loved his crate, you gave him a treat and that’s exactly where he went, he felt safe there
Crate training works!! What breed of dog is that--it's beautiful!
Cane Corso puppy
@@AmericanStandardK9 Thanks!
Absolutely! And I've had a couple of dogs that saw their crates as their personal "safe space". When they wanted a break from the family (we had three young boys), they would head to their crate for some R&R.
Great for dogs that sometimes need to calm down but aren't able to themselves. My amstaff always want to be the center off attention, and after a couple hours he NEEDS that rest, in the crate he goes! He doesn't love it, but over time has accepted it. Really helps that he has a similar crate in the car as well.
Yes !! Create training is a must …
So so true. I love your advice. My Tito started at 7 weeks using his crate as his toilet up to now, he is 2yrs old, never ever poo or pee any where in the house, the cage is now second choice, usually late nights which is quite rare. Thanks for all your great advices.
So true
All dogs should be confident in a crate, being tied up, and being left alone because you never know when there’s an emergency
It's a pretty good thing to teach them definitely. Doesn't mean you have to crate them constantly just enough for them to know its not a punishment
Started training my Corso at 8 weeks. He is currently 2 years old and still being trained hahaha. He's a good boy and a big teddy bear.
I love how. you got closer with the snap on stool!
My dog is create trained my dogs and it halped a lot in the long run when she got older. Now she has some gland issues that makes her drink a lot, and then she couldn’t hold it all. This happened a lot when we weren’t home. So we took out her large crate from when she was a puppy and used that for when we had to leave home so she wouldn’t be doing to much property damage. That along with making shure she event outside and figuring out what was wrong helped fix the issue and keep the problem from ruining the house before we could find out what it was. The crate is a comfortable stop for her and she loved to just wander in and sleep in there on her own and that’s what you kinda want there reaction to be. I love my dog.
Our dog loves her crate! It's her bed and usually left open. We only lock it for short periods. It's great to have.
I didn't crate train my previous dog and absolutely regretted it. She was a great dog, but anytime she needed to go into a crate (groomer or vet) it was a stressful situation for her, a dog who already was easily stressed. Thankfully, our groomer was wonderful and just left her loose in the backroom.
Luv these vids. Very informational
Thank you!
Even my best lab that wanted nothing more than to please us, was not allowed to run the house as puppy until she was trained and even with the puppy slammer she destroyed a book I love.
I have 2 littermates and they dont like going in the cage unless theyre sleepy
Our chihuahua had a whole room :). Any time we had company he knew he could go in there and not be bothered. Just a bit spoiled :)
My dogs crate is like his bedroom. It's his safe space but also a place he goes to if he's in trouble. But again it's still his safe space so even if he is in trouble he's still safe he's not getting hurt in or out of the crate. But he will go in and lie down in it when he wants as well as be sent to it. Mind you he has a bed in his crate as well as other things like toys etc. Which I know people don't agree with but he still sees the crate the same as everyone else. He will whine if he really really wants out like any dog but he goes in it when people first come over because he will sniff them like crazy. Or he will jump all over the sofa with the guests on for the ride. My dog was really easy to toilet train we just had to teach him to tell us when he needed because sometimes he wouldn't show any signs and just do it. So I ended up taking him out every 2 hours and then every 3 to kind of see how well he'd do. He's not left longer than 4 hours before needing to go.
One thing I actually did right with training was crate training. My aussie’s crate is her safe space. She has no problem going into it.
It also helps that the breeders had crates too. Pretty large ones, but the concept remains. She was already used to it when he got her.
I dont even have dog but love watching your videos
Your client Josh Hart is killing it in the NBA Playoffs.
i tried crate vs non crate training and night sleep plus potty training went 100% smoother
Totally agree!!!
My relatives don't have crates but the lower workshop benches were turned into a sort of crate where they taught the dogs to stay "locked" or in "time-out" and that has made it a lot easier to contain them or bring them to the vet, so even if you can't really afford a crate, there are methods to teach the dogs the same principle
Never had to crate train my dog. Never had issues in the house. Comes down to the owners and the dogs personality.
Crate training is a must!
My dog loves her crate, at this point I don't need the door because she will just go there if I'm not around. She usually sleeps in it unless the cat has kicked her out.
Absolutely. My dog is crate trained. Took one day to potty train her. And she’s had a total of one accident in 5 years. The crate is not a punishment. It’s a place of their own to chill. We put the crate away two years ago and we had to bring it back out after she had torn ligament surgery and had to be on complete rest. Went right in. Zero struggle.
Crate training was ESSENTIAL for my dog. She has separation anxiety and deals with it so much better in the crate. Leaving her out was causing her to pee everywhere. She's less anxious in the crate when left alone.
It's their safe space. My Jack's and rat loved their kennels.😊
It’s their own room. And they love it
I love my crate trained pup. From that 8 week mark to now his 1 year. There’s only been 1 accident in the home. 👌🏻
Love your videos
Appreciate that!
One thing he did not talk about, but you see in the video. Is that he's making the crate a positive environment. It's a really bad idea to use it for disciplining.
My dogs aren’t exactly crate trained but my poodle puts himself in there when he’s overstimulated or I’m leaving somewhere. We don’t even close the latch. It’s comforting for him.
I'll never leave my dogs in a crate when away from home or sleeping in case of a fire, but crate training itself is an amazing tool for many different ways of training.
We never crate trained didnt have a problem with potty training with any but I do plan to crate train our next dog especially since it'll be my service dog.
I've crate trained for decades. They actually make the crate their own special place after awhile. And my dogs, don't have one now, are crated in the car for mutual safety.
Facts. My dogs love their "bed"... They think it's their rest stop. Naps, relax, treats. After they did a good job going potty outside and run around a little. When we go inside, I don't even say anything. They go and sit in the kennel ready for a treat
My dog loves his crate so that made things easier!
Well I don't work so I spend all my time with my dogs and that's how I train my pets. I don't have to work. Blessed!
Could you do a video on abused dogs who are traumatized by the crate? My dog was left in a crate with his brother to starve. I’ve heard of lots of stories like this. I have got him to go in the crate and not to instantly poop, now we are working on me being able to leave. It’s slow going but I think it’s a video that would help.
Can a prong call or be used for a small dog breed
It also gives them their own space. As much as they love us, they can get a little too much hooman sometimes and go off to their safe place for some peace and quiet.
Also don't use regular household cleaning products to deal with those "little accidents" either because they don't remove the leftover pheromones. Instead you should get a specialist cleaning product. Your local pet store or veterinarian will recommend one to you.
I’ve also never had to crate a dog in my life, leash and in a car. Train your dogs to listen when they are called by you, and the people they are always around. If they like being in one, use one. But it’s not required if they have they’re set place to sleep
I had 8 ADBA pitbull, when they got older during the nights I had to keep them crated, at night, it would be a blood bath if I had not taken decisive action. The fighting was way too much to break up, I did it several times. Only 1 time I was bitten badly, about took my hand off. So crating for safety, big cages, it was paramount for safety
So true on that PPC
I have crate trained two pups and it’s the smartest and easiest thing to do. When you let them out of the crate you take them outside immediately and they take care of business. Hang outside for a bit and come in and let them hang around before going back in the crate. They learn better with the crate and they enjoy being in the crate provided it’s not too long.
You're just the best bro
My dogs love their crate. One laying in there now chewing an antler. No hesitation when I need them in the cage.
My dog loves the crate. He goes in on his own and hides treats in his blanket for later
I kennel train my dog. She loves it. It’s her little bed ❤
I’ve had dogs my whole life used to take stray dogs in and home them not once and I mean once have I ever had to use a crate and none of my dogs went in the house none of them had bad habits cause I put the work in the train them properly. Now some people aren’t able to due to commitments etc but that doesn’t mean you need a crate you can use a puppy pad etc for going away for long periods or have a certain room like there’s solutions to every problem but it’s hard work
I'm with you! I trained my puppy in a crate from 7 weeks old. When she peed I took her to the front door where I had some old newpapers! After seeing her going to the front door we trained her to pee and poo in our front yard. And after to train her to do it in a gutter. Yes we cleaned it. And later on to almost do it on command on a field! And to be honest, .... after two years being trained most basic stuff we also bought her a basket. And during the nighttime she wanted to be in the OPEN crate. But during the day she loved the basket! As a 4 years old we took away the crate. And bought an even bigger basket. She was such a good dog. Yes! you should train a puppy with a crate! But good behaviour should lead to trust and something better. From a human vieuw also! So a fully grown dog that is trained should not be locked anymore. If you need to do that, .... there was something wrong in the training! Not the dog.
Absolutely true!
I have had many dogs & all were crate trained...they're great if there used correctly.
Not on board with the clicker, but crate training is a must.
It depends on the dog, mine other than a pair of shoes and one puddle didn't need it, but she had a doggie door and so many toys and sticks it wasn't an issue to try to communicate what she needed as it was provided already.
To crate or not to crate crate
🐕👍🦴 I have a husky corgi mix and the crate has been nothing but a blessing for his behavior and having him relax💙
yup
I hate crating my guy, he will go in and wait patiently but he is such a grouch after 😂 he cries in the kennel when I leave but I let him roam the house when I'm gone and he's peaceful, it's good to make sure they're comfortable with the crate but I never used it as a crutch for not training him and pushing him away or punishment, frustration is the main thing I used the crate for because the small space can be frustrating and it will make them quick to calm themselves and control their frustration so they can get that positive reinforcement and more freedom it's a great training tool and they eventually won't even need it anymore if u do it right it's just a quiet space for them to sleep if they need to get away and relax
It's also good for them to have their own space for if you have a lot of people or young kids over, the dog will go there to be alone and away from the stress
That’s the best explanation on why it is crucial to crate train. Coming from someone who had a hard time with the first few days… like he said, it was the best thing we did for everyone!! 🫡
My dogs LOVE the crate. Door always open for them to withdraw from crazy busy humans
Train the puppy/dog to consider the crate its own personal den. And the first time you have broken glass, spilled cleaning chemicals, knocked over paint cans, or true emergencies like EMTs or LEOs needing access to your home to help you, you will be glad you can easily and quickly crate your dog.
My grandfather has never crated any of his Dogs since he was a kid in 1933,. taught his first dog to climb a ladder. He would use a baby gate and leave the puppy in the kitchen when he left the house.
I just love the shop chair in the house look. I think you might be related to my dad?
we tried to crate train our German Shepherd, he ate the crate, yes plastic bottom and metal bars. So we just housebroke him normal. 10 minutes after eating, sleeping or playing we sent him out.
As long as you don’t use the crate as a punishment, it’s great. Make it comfy and their own little den. As long as they have a decent line of sight out of the crate, they’ll just hangout in there. You don’t have to close the door on them to get value out of the crate.
Crating is only bad when you do it wrong, abuse it, and or make it a punishment. Crating done well is a blessing to your pup. It gives them safety, protection, and a space of their own when they’re done with people for awhile.
both my girls love there crate , its a safe spot they know they can depend on , and if i say crate up , they know what to do ,
My dogs sleep in their crate at night. Usually around 11pm when I say bedtime they automatically go to the crate.
