I enjoy watching your videos. There are lot of "trainers" out there. You definitely know what you are talking about. I would also enjoy seeing more hands on.

Really needed to watch this. I'm away from home 6-7 hours a day but I'm lucky that I still live with my folks who telework right now. Would you recommend having them let out to pee and play and go right back to the crate? Or would you suggest that letting them in a play pen a bit before going back to the crate? I mentioned puppy gate and I got hit with such resistance from my folks that I'll depend on heavily until I can properly train and bring them out in public for service training

Great Video! I use the crate for nighttime sleeping only at this point. He is 6 months and I keep the crate in the bedroom and this works well for us. For the last month or so I now use a pen during the day for when I am out or he just wants to go in it to nap. My question, which you answered, was how long I could leave him in the pen now when I am out. Thanks!

Hi, great videos. So glad I found you!! Currently crate training our 9-week-old puppy. Question though, is crate time during the day the same thing as nap time? So for example if we just did a 20-minute crate time session where I worked with her the barking and whining, only going in when she's calm etc and I let her out. Now that she's out she wants to take a nap. Should I put her back in the crate?

Yeah, 10 hrs of anyone person( human or animal) holding in fluids is not good. Even though the puppy is not drinking water your body is still making fluids and filtering fluids in your body to be expelled. That means a lot of built-up toxins in the body. Your puppy may get frequent Urinary tract infections or kidney problems.

I worry he's panicking or it'll cause him to become more anxious. His crate is in the living room since we spend lots of time there. We tried having him in the bedroom but knowing we were close by and he couldn't be with us made it worse. Should I just ignore him and let him tucker himself out at night even when he sounds like he's being possessed? Thanks for all your hard work, your videos are amazing.

Just love the puppy and respond to his cries. He misses his mother and family. Give him love, hugs and lots good food. Never leave a puppy crying. It's very cruel and if he was with his mother he wouldn't be crying. Listen to your heart first.

I work from home and keep my puppy crate between his breaks and potty and clear out a couple chunks of time for play and walk. He does very well when I bring the crate to my office and I'm slowly acclimating him to crating in another room. He already can go all night with no crying or accidents. I'm so proud of him!

He seems a lot more rested and less grumpy(he's a beagle and very much hates waking up) in the mornings too! a huge plus.

Hi Michelle, thanks a lot for the information. Really helpful. It seems that the rule is: when you are not at home or you are not interacting with the puppy, it should be in its crate. Is this correct? At what age can dogs walk freely in a confined area of the house? Or should a dog ALWAYS be crated when there is no interaction? This seems a bit harsh.

@HowToTrainADreamDog

4 жыл бұрын

Puppies should be in a crate when you are not home so your puppy doesn't chew or destroy something in your absence. Pups can play in in a puppy pen or a gated room that has been puppy proofed or stay tethered to you when you are home. Interaction is crucial so that you can build a strong bond together. Playtime and training time together is a must!

I will be picking up a 9 week old rednose pitbull soon so what about using a towel for some comfort in his kennel . I will be using a dog kennel ( like for on planes ) that is full sized but has half of it blocked off should be just enough to allow him to turn around ( but can be adjusted ) and will just be used for sleeping in my room ( his castle ) later on . He will be in a playpen setup in the house when not feeding , training , playing or letting out for potty and I have a baby gate to put him in the kitchen when I need to clean up in the playpen . Any other suggestions ?

This Video is great! Unfortunately i clicked on the free puppy starter kit and the videos do not work it says server ip can not be found ?

can you move the crate around? Should it stay in one place all the time?

I see a lot of information about crating. However, we have put our name down on a waiting list for 2021 to get a puppy. The breeder has asked that we NEVER crate or use a playpen on the puppy. Luckily this is achievable in our house as we can block off safe areas in our house while we are at work and our house is fully tile. But I would be interested in your thoughts.

Using your sample puppy schedule, during "crate time", is the puppy supposed to be in the crate entire time (i.e. 1pm-3pm)? or is it just however long he wants to be in there as I know you state that we want him to love the crate...

I am fostering a new puppy, I am crate training him when I am at home but I feel really uneasy leaving him in the crate for 8 hours straight. I am still potty training him...so I am leaving the crate open, I leave toys around, water and I he has a bed and he has the garage to himself now. He is learning to hold his pee until I come home and he's learning to poop outside, he has had accidents inside but I can't expect him to not, he's just 4 months old.

Can you put them in a playpen attached to a crate to give them more space

Hoe long do u recommend to leave them in on each time

Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 please help as I can’t find the answer. I have a Chi puppy that’s 9 weeks old. Obviously I seen you don’t put a blanket or anything chewable in the crate but my concern is body heat for the pup as we are not the warmest country in the world! . Does the same still apply or should I be doing anything else ? Thanks

I have a schnoodle puppy born 3/30/2022. Our breeder wants us to only use a pen but I would like to crate train so we can take him on airplane trips to our mountain cabin (6 hour car ride) and beach 🏖 house. He does not like the crate. Our crate is in the family room and the pen is in our downstairs bathroom. We decided not to put the pen on hardwood floors. I really enjoy your videos.

Oh Lordy..me too..i'm scared 😅

I was wondering if you had any advice for what to do if the puppy does go to the bathroom in its crate. We are bringing puppy home soon and I am worried about being perfect with a routine; if I make a mistake and the puppy uses the crate is it the end of the world? Or do I just clean it and keep going (is it really that simple)? Thank you for all of your help and information; your videos make me feel a little less terrified.

It certainly is not the end of the world! Accidents happen and it will take a bit to nail down the routine that works best for you and your pup. Here is our New Puppy Starter Kit to get things started off on the right paw! It is full of potty training tips and tricks. It's also free! New Puppy Starter Kit: howtotrainadreamdog.com

I remember about 12 years ago there was a crate called the “potty training puppy apartment.” It used a bed on one side and a puppy pad on the other side. A lot of people liked the crate for potty training. But why do you say dogs shouldn’t use the bathroom in their crate?

We don't recommend that product. We recommend teaching your puppy to go potty outside. This free kit can help you if you need it! www.howtotrainadreamdog.com

What do I do whenever my puppy refuses to eat his food in the crate? He sleeps great at night and is very quiet and good, but he goes nuts any other time he is in the crate. He cries for hours even if someone is in the room with him. What do I do? I want to be able to eat or leave him in the crate so I can work. Please help

Can we put blankets in the crate? If not will they get cold?

No bedding for the first months.. Hmm... I have a Whippet so I think this will not work. They need some soft stuff rpto sleep on as they are a very skinny bread. So what would be the recommendation?

My Hubby and i are getting our first Puppy together Tonight wish us luck lol. we have our Crate in our living room next to the tv when i heard you say put the divider. in the crate i will do that ill have so many questions for you be ready! love you info!

Hi! Very helpful tips. I’m glad I found your videos ☺️ I do have a question tho, we’ll be getting a Boston Terrier pup and they get cold easily right? So if we don’t put bedding in his crate, how do we keep him warm? Also can we just sleep with the pup on the bed with us? I’d really appreciate it if you could answer me. Thank you! 🙏🏻☺️

Question. If I dont put bedding.. wont he have to sleep on the hard floor of the crate? That seems uncomfortable?
