    I first learned kenneling when I trained a Springer Spaniel for hunting 35 yrs ago. Where ever we went he had his own little cave. At night I laid my coat over the crate and he was at peace. I also used the word kennel when ever I wanted him to get in something. I could point to the car twenty feet away and say kennel. He ran over and hopped in. It’s very important for their safety. Now my chihuahua loves his little crate. It’s in the dining room and he can sit inside out of the way and see everything going on without getting stepped on.

    I crate trained my dachshund puppy. Best decision ever. I followed this advice /info. 1) Dogs do not like to mess in their sleeping area. So I bought a medium size crate, which at the time was big for a puppy. Giving them too much room in the begining can result in.... pooping in one corner, sleeping in the clean side. So I halfed the crate space with a barrier.
    Still enough room for my puppy to stand, turn around and sleep. I took her outside to pee, potty and run around every couple of hours. Yes, also at night.
    To my surprise...after a few days, she let me know when she needed to go out. I followed this routine for several weeks, then little by little increased her crate space as she grew.
    Today I have two happy dachshunds, that love their crate for down time. I only lock their crate at night and when I have to run an errand. They get plenty of outside and couch time.
    They are spoiled....love my dogs. I just don't like them in my bed........!!

    I love your common sense! We just got our 5 week old Boston Terrier puppy Rose a few days ago, and we had the cage crate with dog bed set up before we went to get her, and she went right to it! But now she wants to sleep and snuggle up to us all the time. I do want for her to be crate trained and I agree with all of your reasoning. With the puppy chewing, potty incidents, and for her safety when we need to sleep or leave her alone, I want her to find it a comforting place to be instead of a punishment. Thank you so much for all the tips. So helpful and I can't wait to start training Rose!

    I'm getting a Boston in a few weeks time and I was on the fence as to whether or not we needed to crate train him but from watching your videos and others I think it's a great idea even if only for the first few weeks of having them to help with house training 😊

    Toni, my boston terrier,cames to me when he was over 1 year old. And he was not an difficult dog. Boston terries are always interesting to look good for their owner. They are easy to training , and they always wants to do the best. I had much other dogs, but Boston's are the best. Jessica, i like all your videos. You do the best with all your lovin' dogs.

  • @jamesrogers1554
    @jamesrogers1554 5 лет назад +4

    After having 2 Bostons, I've found it's also easier to train them as they tend to be incredibly smart. They can pick things up very quickly. The drawback is that they are incredibly smart and thus tend to get bored easily. Smart bored dogs frequently result in trouble.

    So glad you did this video on crate training. I’ve crate trained my eight month old puppy since I’ve had her at 14 weeks old. My sister has a Golden Retriever puppy that’s six months old and they are not about crate training and this past weekend they went out one night and they came home and the puppy had 🤮💩all over the house from drinking half a huge bottle of vegetable oil. Go figure! It’s for your dogs safety and they are happy.

    Our dog is good in the crate during the day but if we put him in at night he doesn't cry or bark we'll wake up in the morning to pee on the floor he'll lift his leg so he doesn't lay in it,we feel it's because he's upset he wants to be in bed with us, like I said we put him in when we leave and he's fine with it.

    My Boston took to his crate right away. He never cried once, which I can't say for my pug. After 7+ years, he still goes in there when he wants to gnaw on a toy or just get some alone time. We lock him in there when we go to work, but only because we can't trust him with our pug for long periods of time. Once in a while they get on each others' nerves and will fight a bit. She gets locked in the kitchen. Our crate is about the same size as yours. We have a nice thick, soft blanket for him, a water dish, and plenty of toys. He's pretty comfortable in there.

    Do your dogs sleep in their kennels at night? Or do they sleep in a dog bed? How often do your dogs hang out int their kennels? Also when did you add bedding? Right at the start or once the dogs were used to them?

    My beagle is crated at night and when we go out but he chews his bedding and the blanket we put over the crate. He gets in no problem and doesn't wine or cry in the kennel but he destroys his bedding (luckily it's old blankets and not an expensive dog bed.)

    • @thedawghouse4674

      Nice! All dogs should be crate trained! And as far as stuff in the crate it depends on the dog/puppy... if they don’t tear it up or use the bathroom all over it I would have a bed or blanket in there. If they do mess anything up they get nothing (sounds mean but It’s better than them ingesting something and needing an expensive surgery and/or dying)....

    Hi, thanks very much for sharing your knowledge. By collar, do you mean a sonar zap, or a citronella? I have a good old Boston that loves the crate for sleep and rest. My 4 yr Cavalier On The OTHER Hand, will howl / scream to ask us where we are going, or can I come with you? I have tried so many things. I seriously don’t think it is separation ANXIETY, but rather (I say he’s not a Cavalier, he’s a Party Animal!) a where are you going? Can I come with you? If I yell to him, Not Yet, or I’m going to store etc., he quiets down. Please give me some hacks! I think I might’ve taught him this, by introducing the sing command too early. He was just about 10 weeks and never understood. My other Cav learned the command in 10 min., but he was 6 mo. Mercy, Dusty can be soooo LOUD, I’ve decided to call him Rooster, cuz this is what he does everyday at 6 a.m.! And also the other times. He’s my 4th Cav, but I’ve had many other breeds over the years. I trained my Boston, to do all sorts of things when I was just 10. I’ve had 3 Bostons, and I guess they can spoil you. Oh well! Back to the books, so to speak! Any suggestions? Be blest. ☦️👩🏻‍🦳🐾🐾
