Thanks for watching "Crate Training Tips - 10 Hacks To Help Your New Puppy Love The Crate". Which tip are you going to start with when it comes to teaching your puppy to love their crate?
Definitely treats inside the crate when she can come back out. My bloodhound pup hates going in her crate , but she does love her treats. So I hope that helps! Thank you!
I have referred so many people to your RUclips videos. My pups are now 10mo old and doing good as far as crate training and potty training. I thank you everyday for all your help.
Oh man, I was moving my pup when she fell asleep.. glad to know not to do that now! Thankfully only a couple days into having her so good time to correct to using other tips to make it more fun. Was already doing her meals in it but will also add a bit of play time and training using her food in there too. Have been having trouble with crying early morning once she wakes in it the last few nights so hopefully a bit of changing it up helps that.
Our foster puppy just turned 9 months old. She’s potty trained, a great car rider and overall as sweet as can be. She knows sit, down, leave it and off. She’s pretty good at shake too. She’s a little more skittish in public than we’d like, I don’t think she got a lot of early socialization ( we’ve had her about 1 month). We’re working on socialization, leash training and release. Not sure how long we’ll have her ( would love to keep her). We are getting a new puppy of our own in about 6 weeks. Looking forward to implementing your tools and suggestions. Thanks for sharing all the great ideas!
Got a Heeler Puppy almost 2 weeks ago who will be 8 weeks 2 days from now (we were told they were 8 weeks at pickup but then got different info...). I've had toys in the crate to give something other than the bars to chew on. I'm going to take them out except a nylabone
Guess i got myself a unicorn. This pupper is smart and a bit of a challenge. But i feel like our connection kicked in fast and he loves me. My heart is so full ❤️
Aw! Nothing like a strong human/pup bond.❤️ We would love for you to share a photo of you and your pup in our Puppy Training with Michele Lennon Facebook group: howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group
My pup will be here in about two weeks. In our three story townhome I'll have a crate and playpen in the room I work in - bottom floor - and wonder if I should have a crate and /or a playpen on the third story where I spend at least half my time and sleep. I won't leave her alone on the bottom floor after work, but I can't be hauling the crate up and down. Ideas?
It's fine to have more than one crate so you can put it in different locations. Just remember that each one will have to be desensitized to help your new pup love it. This video on crate location can give you a few more tips: ruclips.net/video/f9OaXIxdXJQ/видео.html It's great you're doing research now, before she comes home!
Would it be ok to move the crate to the bedroom for night time, to the living room for day time & a spare room when we need to go out leaving puppy home alone in crate for an hour or so...?
When first crate training it's best not to move it around. Dogs learn best from consistency and routine. But as the pup becomes more comfortable with the crate it's Ok to have multiple crates or move it around if he seems OK with it. This video might answer a few more questions too: ruclips.net/video/f9OaXIxdXJQ/видео.html

If the whimpers escalate or seem to be panicked (shrieking, high pitched, frantic) then it's best to take him out and do a reset. If the whimpers only last for a few minutes and then he falls asleep, that's very normal and it's him learning to self soothe.

Hello, thanks for the info. we adopted our dog 1 month ago, when he was 3 months old. He was crate trained in the house he used to live but we didnt crate train him when he started living with us. He’s 4.5 months old now, do you think its late to start? Thank you
We lure to the crate and close the door. He seldom whines. He never goes in on his own. He does nap and sleep on a schedule in the crate. I hope we haven't messed up crate training
Congrats! Please contact your vet for food diet tips. If you have any training questions, we'd be happy to answer them in our Puppy Training with Michele Lennon Facebook group: howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group
This was very helpful. One question. I found a dog, she's maybe 8 months old. The craye seems to help her relax at night. Before I got it she was an absolute nightmare! So, my question is, how long can I leave her in it during the day while I'm at work?
We appreciate that you found this video helpful! As puppies grow, they can be left home alone in the crate for increasing periods when you are away at work. But for the first few months - even up to a year - you’ll likely need some additional help from friends or family to meet all of their needs. We have two other great videos on this topic!

if I remove the water won’t my puppy get dehydrated? I was going to remove the water so she doesn’t go potty in her crate at night but I don’t want to harm her by taking it away
If your pup is supposed to be sleeping at night, they won't be awake to drink water. They will have hydrated all throughout the day. You are not harming your pup by removing water at bedtime.
10 wk pup toy aussie. Will go in crate will nap, but if door closes panics, barks, freaks out until door opens. Poor thing will hurt himself. Any tips?
Yes. Using a crate is an essential part of raising and training a puppy. When used correctly with the proper training, crates are like cribs or playpens for babies and toddlers. They are used to keep your pup safe and out of trouble, a place for rest or downtime and are great for a reset or time out. Here is one we recommend: howtotrainadreamdog.com/plastic-crate
Puppies have a lot of needs, just like children. And they rely on the humans to provide for them. When dogs are very young it will be important to enlist friends, family and pet sitters to meet their needs if you can't be home.
Until she gets used to her new surroundings and routine, she may cry for attention. Always ensure that her needs are met! Check out another video of ours with tips for pup's who cry in their crate: ruclips.net/video/U01acQIu-ck/видео.html
@@HowToTrainADreamDog I feed her in crate, I've covered three sides, I'm using your treat techniques and put in sporadically through the day especially for naps

My new puppy is so comfortable in the crate she is hard to get out. I actually have to teach her to come out.
could yo do a video on how to make adult dogs like their crate after they have had bad experiences in it, or because they hate it?

wow im early ! Also nice tips!
My 11-week old whimpers a bit in the crate. Should I allow that or just let it go? He doesn't bark much.
If the whimpers escalate or seem to be panicked (shrieking, high pitched, frantic) then it's best to take him out and do a reset. If the whimpers only last for a few minutes and then he falls asleep, that's very normal and it's him learning to self soothe.
Great tips. Can you do a practical video where these tips are acted out?

I have a question when putting my puppy in the crate during day time should I cover the crate with a sheet or leave her exposed?
Leaving it covered will help her. The more she has to look at, the more she will be processing, and the more she will need to go potty!
Can you make a video about American bully’s I have one
Thank you for this suggestion!
Is crate better than a play pen and bed?
Yes. Using a crate is an essential part of raising and training a puppy. When used correctly with the proper training, crates are like cribs or playpens for babies and toddlers. They are used to keep your pup safe and out of trouble, a place for rest or downtime and are great for a reset or time out. Here is one we recommend: howtotrainadreamdog.com/plastic-crate
Is it wrong to still have to lure a 5 month old pup to the crate? He won't just go in on his own.
Feed him in there
So sorry we are just seeing this comment now. I apologize that we didn’t see it sooner. We hope all is well with you and your pup.

So, if you get a puppy, you can’t go to work, unless you get a puppy sitter?
Puppies have a lot of needs, just like children. And they rely on the humans to provide for them. When dogs are very young it will be important to enlist friends, family and pet sitters to meet their needs if you can't be home.
