Bought your Puppy Course and crate training has made my young Doberman a champion! 🤩

Dogs are creatures who naturally live in dens. By placing warm blankets over the crate you create a dark warm safe environment that is natural for them

Crate training is essential. My dog viewed it as his refuge, rather than punishment.

[valrummel]

My dogs love their kennel and go in all the time to chill without being locked in.

The imagery of puppies in the other room practicing their sits, downs and stays 😂😂😂

I love how Garrett and his training program is so reality based.

[Miss_Dis]

Plus I've found it's just really good for them when they have siblings to have their own space, their own zone where they can relax

[Eileen_in_Vegas]

I never thought of crate training like the baby in the crib. Good advice. I've heard, too, that a crate gives a dog a sense of security because it's his "private" space.

When I got my three German shepherds, we already had three much smaller dogs that were quite older than the puppies.
Luckily, somehow the older ones taught all three of the youngsters how to go outside to do business. I honestly do not recall a single puddle, nugget, or incident in the house or in their crate. I guess for the basics you can rely on the older puppies. Now they could only teach them to quit barking at the damn squirrels .

Crates like a collar and leash is a great training tool. As my dogs grew up after training ( as this person is explaining) it was " their" safe space. Their den. Doors were no longer even on thr crate.

Thank you! I don't understand why people are so against crate training? I have crated all of my dogs! It's a safe space for them. When anxiety levels are high it provides a place for them to calm themselves!❤❤

[alexdonnelly]

It’s a must! This guy knows his stuff! My dog goes in his crate on his own. We took the door off once he was trained. But it’s a safe place in there mind! Absolutely best thing I ever did!

[Grace-up]

Absolutely!! I strongly agree with crate training!! It's good for the humans and the dogs just as you said!! You rock Garrett!!

[cjord]

Such good advice. Works the same for newly adopted adult dogs. We make the crate a place they want to be in. Good things happen there that don't anywhere else. Helps to quickly house train them to a new house even if they were fostered and trained somewhere else. All my dogs and fosters love their crates.

Heck we crate trained our 4 dogs (English bulldog, Pug, Bassett hound and GSD-Lab mix), in our master bedroom - when we went to bed, they all went into their respective crates… all right next to each other (we had a huge master suite w/ sitting area, FP and TV, w/ direct egress to our rear patio and adjacent backyard)… we kept their crate spaces low-lighted, w/ all but the from gates covered, creating a personalized “den” for each

[mavallarino]

It’s a MUST. It’s always a great option and offers so much flexibility!

[Mooseskull]

My last dog loved his crate, you gave him a treat and that’s exactly where he went, he felt safe there

[Matoskah-ifxt]

Mine love their crates. They know it's a safe space that's entirely their area, and they put themselves there when they feel insecure or afraid, without any prompting. I'm convinced that having their own safe area helps their security and confidence and has made them better behaved as a consequence of that.

Thank you. I didn’t want to crate train my puppy in the future, I see it’s worth it

I got a six week old pup and the first night he was with me, he did so good in the crate. Puppies have natural rhythms. They play 20 minutes and then sleep a few hours, take them out to potty right away and play 20 miutes. As soon as the puppy is lying down, put him in the crate for a nap
A crate also helps prevent separation anxiety. Puppies need lots of sleep. When he is awake, give him good quality play time or training or a walk. Then let him sleep. The first week is the hardest cause they want to be with you. Get thrkugh that and it becomes his special bed. My pup goes into the crate on his own after a few days.
