Go to an dog obedience school. It takes time and discipline (for you). You will always LOVE your puppy if you get take it to professional training.

Answer 2

Leave the crate open and put a favorite toy in the crate,the puppy will go in and out of the crate on its own,when it get comfy being in the crate then you can start closing the door and leaving the puppy in for short times at first and longer times as you go. That is how I trained my Mini Pin and i never had a min.problem with her

Answer 3

Good for you on crate training.

First to get the pup to go into the crate take a throw a soft quickly eaten treat into the back of the crate, and then close the door and say "GOOD CRATE" saying this will teach the dog the word crate, "GOOD BOY/GIRL", and give another treat through the door.

I would also feed the dog in the crate when you feed. Morning and night.

My dogs love their crates, and go in a lay in their crates when they want to get away from everything. It will become their safe haven, den.
I hope this has helped. Good luck.

Answer 5

Dogs like small, enclosed spaces because of the security it offers them. Crating is not jailing your dog, and the crate should never be used for punishment. Instead, it draws on your dog’s preference for small spaces and allows you an extra measure of control over your dog. If you practice preventative training, your dog will spend time in the crate when you aren’t around to set boundaries.

One benefit of a crate is in potty training. Dogs try not to go to the bathroom where they sleep. If you keep your dog in a crate when you’re not together during potty training, your dog will try to hold it until you let him out and take him outside. Your job is to keep a reasonable schedule with plenty of chances to play and eliminate

Answer 6

they only need enough room to turn around and stand up in. Give pup a chance to check it out a explore it. DON'T ever force it in the crate. Use a little treat throw into the back of the crate, if pup goes in to get it praise, good pup, etc. After it gets over the fear of being inside gradually shut the door and praise pup. Try shutting pup inside of crate, and "pretend" to leave for about 10 min., and go outside, you can hear if pup gets upset. Gradually increase time alone. Beware of what kind of collar pup has if it can get caught on cage, you don't want pup to hang itself. Just never use the crate as punishment, most dogs will actually grow to find comfort in it, it is their den. Crating is not mean, it keeps pup from getting hurt while you are gone, and from making a mess. Good luck!! Be sure to always give pup a treat, for going in crate!! My dog used to actually run to it when I would get out treats, he's six now and haven't crated him for about 4 yrs, he's pretty responsible now, and has a doggie door w/ fenced yard. I stiil always give a treat when I go to work. Hope this helps.

Answer 7

Well I am looking into getting a dog. I printed out all this info and it explained on there. I would recommend going to www.google.ca and put puppies in crate training or something like that. Your information will come in many different thing for you to try.

Answer 8

You put them in the smallest crate possible. Large enough for them to get, and move turnaround however. You dont want them to have too much freedom in this crate. And you let them out on intervals. Usually four hour intervals starting off. During this time, that they get out, you want to encourage them to use the bathroom. As they start getting the hang of the timing, you bump it up to six hours, then eight hours. By that time, they will have gained enough control, that they will be house broken.
