Crate training for dogs and puppies

Crate training is one of the most effective ways of house
breaking any puppy or dog. Crate training is very efficient, and
very effective, since it uses the natural instinct of the dog to
achieve the desired result of a clean house and a well trained
dog.
The concept behind crate training is that a dog naturally
strives to avoid soiling the area where it eats and sleeps. By
placing the dog in the crate, this instinct is enhanced. The dog
will come to see the crate as its den, and it will try to avoid
soiling its den.
The key to successful crate training for a puppy or an older
dog, as with other forms of dog training, is to establish a good
routine. This routine will enhance the ability of

the dog to do
its business in the right place, and avoid eliminating in the
wrong place. It is important to shower the dog with praise each
and every time it eliminates in the established toilet area, and
not to express frustration or anger when the dog makes a mistake.
It is important to confine the dog or puppy to a small part of
the house, generally one puppy proofed room, when you are not at
home. The room should contain a soft bed, fresh water and some
favorite toys to prevent the dog from becoming bored and
frustrated.
Crate training is different from confining the dog to one room,
however. With crate training, the puppy or dog is confined to a
crate when unsupervised. The idea is that

the dog will think of
this crate as its home, and not want to soil is home.
When crate training, it is important to remove the dog from the
crate as soon as possible after returning home, and to take the
dog promptly to the previously established toilet area. When the
dog does its business in this toilet area, be sure to provide
lots of praise and treats. It is important that the dog learn to
associate proper toilet procedures with good things like treats
and toys.
It is important to never leave the dog in its crate for long
periods of time, as this will confuse the dog and force it to
soil its sleeping area. The crate is simply a tool, and it
should not be abused by leaving the dog in it for

periods of time. If the dog is left in the crate for too long,
it could set back the training program by weeks if not months.
The dog should only be confined to the crate when you are at
home. Except for nighttime, the dog should be given the
opportunity to relieve itself every 45 minutes or so. Each time
the dog is taken out, it should be put on a leash and
immediately taken outside. Once outside the house, the dog
should be given three to five minutes to do its business. If the
dog does not eliminate in this time period, it should be
immediately returned to the create.
If the dog does its business during the set time period, it
should be rewarded with praise, food, play, affection

and either
an extended walk or a period of play inside or outside the home.
During the crate training period, it is important to keep a
daily diary of when the dog does its business each day. If the
dog is on a regular feeding schedule, the toilet schedule should
be consistent as well. Having a good idea of when the dog needs
to eliminate each day will be a big help during the house
training process. After the dog has used his established toilet
area, you will be able to give the dog free run of the house to
play and enjoy himself.

process. If there
has been an accident, simply clean it up. Accidents during house
training mean that you have provided the dog with unsupervised
access to the house too quickly. The dog should not be allowed
unsupervised access to the home until you can trust her bowel
and bladder habits. If mistakes do occur, it is best to go back
to crate training. Taking a couple of steps back will help move
the house training process along, while moving too quickly could
set things back.
