Rather than throwing your dog into a crate to allow him get used to his new environment, utilise a clicker with reward-based coaching to help your dog adapt and make a positive organisation with his crate.
This is a very smart way to approach dog crate training; you may lure the dog into the crate with savory treats. Once your dog goes into the crate willingly to receive the treats, you need to use the sound of a clicker to brace the action and inspire good behavior.
1. Place a handful of treats in the crate with the door open.
2. Wait for your dog to notice the treats and enter the crate to eat the treats.
3. As fast as your dog goes into the crate, push the clicker to get his interest.
4. Leave the crate door open so that your dog can come and go as he pleases. Each time that he enters the crate to get another treat, push the clicker to bolster the action.
5. Continue this activity for a couple of days till your dog becomes more relaxed.
6. Next time that your dog goes into the crate to retrieve a treat, push the clicker and close the door behind him.
7. After closing the door for a moment, let the dog out right away.
8. After a couple of days of this activity, click the clicker, close your dog in the crate, and leave him there for a half hour or even more.
9. Continue to reward your dog's behaviour and build up time in the crate until he becomes more comfy.
10. Ultimately, use the clicker to order your dog to eagerly enter the crate. When your dog successfully completes this action, reward him with a treat and close the door of the crate. Congratulations on your successful dog crate training, I suggest that you do this numerous times until you feel that your dog is prepared for longer periods.
