On
this page we will cure your dog and puppy crate training whining
problems with the best free puppy training tips, techniques, methods,
commands and devices.
Whether its plastic, folding, wire or aluminum your dog or puppy must
to be happy in his crate regardless of any behavioral problems.
So
lets get started...
- You need to make sure
that your puppy does not associate the crate with punishment or
a bad experience,
- If your puppy does not
like his crate and hates going in it - you will need to purchase a new
one.
- If your dog has
developed a real hatred of his den you will need to start puppy
crate training from the
beginning - you need your pooch to see it as a dog training tool and
device rather than a prison.
- Purchase a
new aluminum or plastic folding crate it can even be made of
wire as long as it is safe for your pooch. Don't buy one that is too
big otherwise he will be able to potty in the corner and stay dry.
- Nearly all dog
trainers agree that it is perfectly acceptable to leave your dog in his
crate when you are unable to supervise him.
- Make his crate a fun
and enjoyable experience, put some nice toys in there to keep him
stimulated. Puppy crate training whining problems often start through boredom.
- Feed your puppy in his
crate and let him out as soon as he has finished his food.
- Keep the den near the
family - puppy crate training whining problems often start because your
pooch has been put in some far off place in the House.
- Use positive
reinforcement when puppy crate training, whining can be cured if you
instantly reward your pooch for good behavior and ignore bad behavior.
- If you have placed
your pooch in his den and he is whining and
whinging, ignore him but as soon as he
stops give him a treat and lots of praise. Your puppy will soon
associate not whining with getting a nice treat some praise or
a reward. This is also known as classical
conditioning.
- Let your pooch sleep
in his crate but if he is really young play some games with him and
take him for a run around the garden - you need to really get your
pooch tired before he goes to bed. A tired puppy is less likely to
whine.
- As soon as your puppy
has woken up take him outside to potty and reward him - all puppies
like to pee straight after a nap - you can find out more in our section
on potty
training a puppy.
- Patience really is a
virtue - if your puppy is whining for anything up to an hour (assuming
that there is not a medical problem) wait for him to stop, give him a
treat and take him for some play-time.
- If you are using a the
crate at night put a blanket over the crate so that he feels more cosy
- it may stop him whining if he can't see you!
- Leave something that
has your scent on it in his den, this will make him feel that you are
close by.
Congratulations, if you follow these instructions all your puppy crate training whining and whinging problems should be cured!
