What's more exciting than having a new puppy at home? If you reward your child with your favorite animal or even get one for you, the excitement and joy of a new pet is associated with tasks such as: Basic obedience to the puppy, etc. In this article you will learn about crate training your dog. Each puppy must adapt to his new environment and to the people in the house. It takes time and stamina to teach your dog to stay in the cage even when it is not there.
You can start by selecting a box suitable for your dog. If your dog will not be there for a long time, you can opt for a kind of fabric folding, otherwise the plastics or wood are also good. Buy something big enough for your dog to move and turn around. Before you start to train your dog, introduce it gradually. It may take a few days to a few weeks for you to feel well.
When the cage drives your dog, place it in a place where your family spends a lot of time, or even most of your time. In this way, your dog will feel no separation anxiety. You should talk to your dog every time you put him in a cage. Treats with goodies and your favorite food will encourage you to enter the box. If you do not like the food, throw your favorite toy to catch it or play with it.
As the cage trains your dog, feed him in his cage. If you do not want to get into the box, first store the feeder plate near your door. Then you can gradually start to change the bowl inside. It is always advisable to introduce your dog to gradually take encouragement. If you try to force him, he may develop an aversion forever and you must start the process from scratch.
When your dog enters the box, try to keep it for 10 minutes. See if you feel well, but do not let it out, even if you complain. If he complains, do not release him until he stops, otherwise he'll complain if he wants to get out of the cage. Gradually, you can get your dog to spend more time in the cage. Then you can start using action words like "enter", "child inside", "in the box", "kennel" to link them to the entry in the box. You may need to point to the box to learn.
If your dog is beginning to walk in the cage and spend time there, you can start letting it go longer. This is especially important if you leave in the future, for example, when you can go shopping or even go to work. Leave it in the box for 20 minutes or less if you are going to another room. Return after a while to let the dog know you're coming back. Do not come back when he complains because he can complain if you are out of sight. Gradually increase your absence spell to make your dog feel comfortable in his cage. You can also use the same pattern to train your dog's cage at night.
