I don't know about you, but one of the best dog training tips I have ever learned is dog crate training. It sounds like a harsh treatment done to insubordinate pets I know; but really, nothing could be further from the truth. Crate training actually serves as a safe haven for your pet - away from the stress and noise of life.
Now, this doesn't mean to say that you go out and buy your own crate to retreat to when you're stressed. Friend, that?s just weird. Instead, you should start looking around for a roomy and sturdy crate for your pet. If the jury is still out on the whole dog-in-a-box business for you then it?s alright. Continue to read to see what this is and what it can do for you.
As discussed, crate training is simply allocating a tranquil area where your dog can spend his alone time quite happily. However, do not be surprised if at first, he will be resistant to the thought of being inside a box. I mean, hello?wouldn?t you be too? Because you know better, be firm in pursuing this training and be gentle in your implementation.
Create a relaxing atmosphere inside the crate by placing a blanket and some of his favorite toys inside. Bring a trail of doggie treats leading up to the crate and encourage him to take it. When he is inside the crate, leave the crate door open and gently feed him more treats and calmly pet him until he is relaxed. Allow him to leave the crate and do not make a big fuss when he does.
Repeat the same thing and leave more doggie treats at the back of the crate. Continue to feed him while he is inside and if he attempts to leave, block the opening of the crate gently with your body, petting him calmly while doing so. He will gradually relax and if when he is, let him out of the crate.
After several successful tries, repeat this but now, close the door. Place his favorite chewy toy inside and wait for the dog to be totally occupied with it before you close the door. Stay inside the room where you are heard and seen. Let him out of the crate before he becomes bored with the toy and start feeling anxious.
The rule of thumb with dog training tips is to praise the canine when he is correctly doing something you are training him to do; so lavish him with your praise when you see him inside the crate. Do not make a fuss if he exits the crate. After a few times and the dog is accustomed with his new space, you can leave the room for fifteen minutes at a time to see how he is coping.
Dog crate training is an excellent way to potty train Fido, as well as give him a safe place he can go to when he is stressed. Keep at it long enough and before long you will find yourself an owner of a well-behaved and happy dog.
