Crate Training A Puppy

Advantages of Crate Training A Puppy:

For anyone who is thinking about acquiring a new puppy, you may have been wondering what the fastest, most hassle totally free way of housebreaking your new pet is. In all honesty, the ease of housebreaking a puppy depends upon quite a few unique factors.

Among these are the age of the puppy, the breed of the puppy plus the level of patience possessed by the owner.

Even so, quite a few dog owners will happily admit that their housebreaking expertise was a lot less difficult when crate training a puppy as their form of housebreaking.

1 thing that makes crate training a puppy considerably less complicated than other forms of housebreaking will be the size of the crate. It truly is greatest to make use of a crate which is very smaller than what 1 would expect.

The crate requirements to only allow room for the puppy to turn lay down or about in. This provides the puppy a sense of getting in a den, which is natural for dogs. This helps the puppy to really feel like the crate is essentially their home and it is in a dogs nature not to relieve themselves in their household.

Crate training a puppy also works well simply because it assists the puppy to associate relieving themselves with the crate. If the puppy has an accident inside your residence, don’t punish him or scold him for being poor. He’s only a puppy and he is still learning. This is where the crate comes in.

When he has an accident he is to be put inside the crate. Then soon after about 30 minutes he might be let back out to roam totally free within your property when you keep a watchful eye on him.

If he has went one more 30 minutes without having an accident, it really is time to take him outside to relieve himself. Once he has, you can take him back inside and enable him to be operating free within your dwelling once again.

If your puppy has a different accident whilst operating loose, you have to promptly choose him up and put him in the crate for 30 minutes once again. Then repeat the cycle again with allowing him to roam free for 30 minutes after which taking him outside.

As soon as he has relieved himself outside, he is to be allowed to roam free in your dwelling once once more. If your puppy roams totally free within your property without having an accident for about an hour, you are able to take him outside once again to see if he needs to relieve himself again. The a lot more usually this occurs, the closer your puppy is to being completely housebroken.

The way that crate training a puppy works is that it’s going to assist the puppy to understand that if he has an accident inside, he should stay within the crate for a designated amount of time. Having said that, when he goes outside, he is allowed to run loose inside the home as a reward. This may perhaps take a number of attempts and there may perhaps be times whenever you get tired and frustrated using the entire method.

However, it has been verified that if crate training a puppy is done properly and consistently, a puppy could be fully housebroken in as little as one to two weeks. This could be the most effective way of helping your puppy to comprehend that relieving himself is for outside the household and playing, eating and sleeping is for inside the residence.

Salem, OR, (PRWEB) November 2, 2007

Melisa Bethel today launched a new blog on dog training techniques. During the last 3 years the increase in dogs entering Human Society’s has increased by 7%. One of the main reasons for this is the fact that these dogs are untrained and now unwanted.

With over 4 million K-9′s entering these Society’s each year there are few of them placed in new homes while the others are destroyed. Human Shelter will spend over 1 billion dollars each year to destroy unwanted animals. What can we do to help these numbers?

First, spay and neuter all of are dogs. Over a time of six years one female dog and her offspring can possibly produce over 67,000 dogs.

Next, let us train these animals, so we can enjoy their companionship for the duration of their lives. There are a number of class’s a person can take and also books to educate one on the proper ways of training. Education is the key to training a dog.

How about the purchase of a puppy? While there are lots of breeders who advertise in the local paper, should we buy from these breeders? The Human Society says, “NO.” They say that purchasing a puppy from a breeder is only encouraging them to breed again. Also, that some breeders are not involved with proper veterinarian procedures and often breed one animal a very high number of times thus endangering the animals life.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 29, 2007

“Most of us get pretty stressed this time of the year,” says Burwell, founder and CEO of Jim Burwell’s Petiquette. “The same can happen to our dogs. There are lots of new sights, sounds, smells, strange people and activities. Remember to set your dog up to be successful in navigating these busy, stressful times by following these simple tips.”

The Christmas tree:

Keep the water stand covered. Pine sap mixed with water makes a poisonous drink for your pet. Sweep up pine needles. Eating pine needles can cause vomiting and gastric irritation. Tie the tree to the wall or ceiling to keep your dog from pulling it over. Tinsel is very dangerous for dogs. Eating tinsel can cause serious intestinal obstruction that may require surgery if ingested. Use ribbon up high on the tree instead of tinsel and garland. The smell of a live tree may cause your pet to urine-mark. It may help to bring the tree into an isolated indoor room for a day or so, so it smells more like home. Have pet treats ready to distract your pet from paying attention to the tree. Supervise. The safest thing to do is only to allow your pet access to the tree and tree area when you are there to supervise. Ornaments Pick up any ornament hooks that fall. If you dog eats an ornament hook, it can damage the intestines. Better yet, replace ornament hooks with loops of string tied in a knot. Glass ornaments should be placed on the upper half of the tree where dogs/cats can’t reach them. Only use wooden or non-breakable ornaments down low, or better yet, only decorate the top two-thirds of your tree

Lighting:

Don’t hang indoor lighting low; this will keep your pet from becoming entangled in them. Remember to unplug the lights when you’re not home to supervise your pets. Some dogs might also be tempted to chew electric cords or other electric ornaments.

Presents:

Dogs and cats are very inquisitive. Decorations on presents can be very tempting. Take ribbons and string from packages. Consider storing presents in a safe area until right before opening. Don’t place edible presents under the tree. Dogs can smell them a mile away and they will rip them open and eat the contents. Don’t forget to give your dog a present. A stuffed Kong will keep them occupied when guests are over. Don’t give a puppy as a present. A dog/puppy is a major commitment and owners must be prepared to make the commitment of time and energy it takes to successfully integrate a dog into a home. Instead, if someone is considering getting a puppy or dog for Christmas, encourage them to start training the puppy or dog immediately. Give a Petiquette in home dog trainer a call at 866-336-9300.

Dog Activity:

Take your dog for a good long walk about 30-45 minutes before company arrives. A tired dog is a good dog. Give them a safe place to go – another room, a crate removed from the activity, somewhere your pet is used to and feels safe.

About Jim Burwell’s Petiquette Jim Burwell’s Petiquette? offers entrepreneurs and dog owners the benefits of a 20 year proven method of in-home dog training and behavior modification, using positive reinforcement to achieve training goals, and a working partnership with experts like no other. Our goal is to help owners establish peaceful, rewarding, enduring relationships with their dog.

Calgary, AB (PRWEB) February 5, 2008

If you’re one of the millions for whom training your dog is akin to having a tooth pulled, help is at hand, thanks to respected online advice specialists Professor’s House. With features on everything from family life, relationships, your home and more, the website has been providing invaluable information and advice to families for years, and now they bring that knowledge to the tricky task of dog training.

Here’s a simple question, have you ever wanted to just leave everything and have some quiet time alone? Even better, what if your boss obliged you to take a short vacation to get away from all the stress? If you answered no, you are probably one of those professional chocolate taste testers – but for most of us, the answer is a resounding yes.

Dogs are the same way. They have an innate need to seek out a place where they feel safe and secure. Being the animals that they are, they don’t always know how to go about doing this. As responsible and loving pet owners, we can gently guide them to practices we believe will be good for them. This article will show you some puppy training tips on the best way to crate train your dog.

For some people, crate training a puppy may seem cruel and useless, but it is actually a very natural and helpful form of canine training.

Dogs do not like staying and sleeping on a place he has already soiled. A housebroken, crate trained puppy will keep his urge to eliminate until he is let out of his crate. After spending time inside the crate, immediately bring him outside to go potty. For this reason it is important that the enclosure is small enough to have no space for both a sleeping area and a toilet center.

The crate should be inside a room where there are a lot of people. Don’t force the puppy to go into the crate, let him go in on his own accord. Put some of his favorite treats inside beforehand. Have a special toy that puppy can only play with inside the crate. Feed him inside the crate. The key is to have the dog associate the crate with good and happy things. This is his haven away from stress. Never, ever send him there as a form of punishment.

Now that he is familiar and comfortable inside the crate, start closing the door a few minutes at a time while you are still in the room.

Do not open the door as soon as the puppy whines. It will show him that crying will get him what he wants. If you don’t think he is in pain or needs to go to the potty ignore his cries and he will stop.

When the puppy is getting used to having the door closed, gradually go out of the room for several minutes. Leave the toys inside the crate to keep him occupied. As you increase the periods of time you leave him alone, he will grow accustomed to his crate and feel comfortable enough to stay there by himself. Do not leave him inside for more than four hours; a puppy’s bladder is not as developed as that of an older dog.

These puppy training tips will not only help your puppy, it will do wonders for your peace of mind and free you from the usual stress inducing puppy activities. Potty training and sleeping time will be easier. Long trips are possible with your puppy quietly tucked away in his crate. You can actually go to the spa while your little dog is cheerfully playing by himself without danger to anyone and anything. After successfully crate training a puppy, you will forget how you ever lived otherwise.

Crate training a puppy is one of the best ways to house train. You should start by selecting a crate that is large enough for your puppy to lie down in comfortably. You don’t need it to be to big because your puppy will either be sleeping in it, or temporarily placed in it and shouldn’t have any extra room where he could go to the bathroom. Instead he will learn to hold it until you can let him out, which shouldn’t be more then a couple of hours at a time.

When you start your crate training, keep in mind these 3 tips:

1. Put your crate in an out of the way place where your pup won’t be disturbed, but not far enough away so that he feels socially isolated.

2. It’s a good idea to put chew toys in there as well so he doesn’t become bored and start barking, which may happen the first few nights.

3. It is very important that you don’t put food and water in your puppy’s crate because these will make him have to go to the bathroom and you won’t be able to take him out in time.

Some people find putting a radio playing soft music, or a fan next to the crate helps keep the puppy from whining to much the first couple of nights.

This is effective at keeping him quiet but you should try not to get up and let him out. If you leave your puppy in his crate all night even if he whines, he will get used to it and soon be quiet, but if you take him out every time he starts crying, it will take longer for him to get used to his new home and could cause you some sleepless nights.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 23, 2008

With high gas prices, many families will be staying closer to home this summer and driving to vacation spots instead of jetting off to distant locales. If Fido is traveling along on your summer vacation, master dog trainer and bestselling author Paul Owens suggests that a bit of training and a few safeguards will promote happy trails and wagging tails.

Owens says, “Even a well-trained dog can be off his mark when he’s in a different situation. A new environment is a new context–so even behaviors that are second nature in familiar settings can be off-putting and normally reliable behavior may go by the wayside in moments of stress. A dog who doesn’t chew on the furniture at home may find that sofa cushion in the hotel room irresistible. A dog that normally stays close to you may suddenly bolt when challenged by some new sight or sound. And even a dog who has never bitten anyone could suddenly be over-stimulated and respond to a perceived threat by biting.”

Here are a few of Owens’ vacation travel tips:

Prepare a doggie travel pack to include: leash, toys, favorite chewies, sufficient food, bottled water, necessary medications, favorite bed or blanket, and a first-aid kit.

Get specially designed doggy seat belts and make it a habit of buckling him in whenever riding in a car.

If you need to leave Fido in the hotel room when you go out to dinner or another event, exercise him before you go so he has less energy while you’re gone. A crate may be in order to keep him and the room safe. However, if you plan to kennel or crate your dog, it’s very important he is used to and enjoys staying in a crate by himself before you use one on your vacation. Never crate a dog unless he’s acclimated to the crate. If he has separation anxiety or chews things and he isn’t comfortable in a crate, have someone stay with him.

Owens says the number one way to avoid having vacation problems with your dog is prevention. “Anticipate the problem before it happens and keep your dog away from trouble. This means properly using leashes and crates, keeping forbidden objects out of chewing range, giving your dog something else to do to keep him occupied, and keeping him safe. Make sure his vaccinations are up-to-date, don’t walk him in hot weather and always feel the pavement or sand with your hand to be sure it’s not too hot so your dog’s paws don’t get burned, have plenty of water available, never leave him unattended in the car, and avoid unclean parks and other areas where he might be injured by broken glass or other animals.”

Owens is often referred to as the ”original” Dog Whisperer because his book (1999) and first DVD (2004) were both released before the National Geographic Television series with the same title.

His newest DVD, The Dog Whisperer, Vol. 2, Solving Common Behavior Problems for Puppies and Dogs, teaches housetraining and crate training; gives solutions for nipping and biting, bolting out the door, chewing and destruction; and also gives valuable tips for dog safety. It will go a long way toward preventing as well as solving problems at home and when you travel with your dog.

Lastly, it’s important to stay positive and have fun and not coddle your dog in new situations. Dogs feed off our emotions and stress. Staying upbeat and having fun is what vacations are all about.

Owens’ DVD is available at Amazon.com, leading retailers, and at http://www.DogWhispererDVD.com
