Crate training can be a game-changer, but it doesn't have to be a struggle. Learn how to make your pup's crate a cozy comfort zone, not a confinement.
Confusion
Make crate time fun! Feed meals inside, play short games near it, and offer praise for entering or staying calm.
Positive Vibes
Start with short crate stays, gradually increasing the duration as your pup adjusts. Patience and positive reinforcement are key!
Gradual
Never use the crate as punishment. This creates negative associations and hinders progress. Stay calm and patient during crate time.
Escape
Set realistic expectations. Crate training takes time and consistency. Celebrate small wins and don't get discouraged by setbacks.
Expectations
A well-trained pup means less stress for everyone. Crate training builds independence, confidence, and a happy, well-adjusted furry friend.
Housetrained
Tire your pup out before crate time with exercise and mental stimulation. A sleepy pup is a crate-loving pup!
