Beginning steps of crate training with KindTail PAWD plastic collapsible pet crate!

@engineeringoptimismdogtraining Join me as I work on the beginning steps of crate training with my KindTail Pawd plastic collapsible pet crate!
I really love this crate because it’s cute, easy to transport, and has a cozy bed insert option that my dog loves. If you want to get one of your own, use my code to save at KindTail.com: SFF3XHYJ. Or swing by a Target near you! Who doesn’t love a Target run, am I right? ☺️
Some important notes:
• If at any point your dog seems uncomfortable, anxious, or nervous, end the training session and contact a positive reinforcement-based, certified dog trainer for help.
• Crates are a great option for many, but may not be the right solution for you and that’s okay! There are some modifications you might make like adding an ex-pen around the crate to give your dog more space or foregoing the crate altogether.
• Personally, I recommend crate training at least in case of an emergency and for prep in case your dog needs to be crated at the vet. This will give prepare your dog with a positive history with crates and make the experience should it be required, much less stressful.
• If you suspect your dog has generalized anxiety or separation anxiety, consult your veterinarian and reach out to a dog trainer with a certification in separation anxiety like a Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer (CSAT). Crates are NEVER a solution for generalized anxiety or separation anxiety. Both generalized anxiety and separation anxiety are medical diagnoses that require multi-faceted treatment coordinated with your veterinarian, a veterinary behavior, and/or a certified, specialized trainer.
