yeah annoyingly I got a golden doodle from these “breeders” and he’s 5 months and isn’t potty trained, crate trained, and hadn’t gotten his shots. got his shots but now we have to train him for basics
Got a boxer today 8 weeks old I could understand the breeders were elderly but they made no effort to toilet train or crate train the pups, every time I bring him out spend 15-20 minutes walking him around the garden and nothing within a minute of returning indoors he takes a dump I’ll take him back outside another 10 minutes to see if there’s anything else and the minute I bring him back in he pees, I know that perseverance will prevail but it’s infuriating that I have to cokes him outside let alone retrain bad habits, all 5 pups grew up in a kitchen and don’t see grass as a viable toilet😅😂
This is very true. My GSD is 8 months old and from the 2nd day we brought him home we started crate training. He LOVES when I say “crate” because he knows an ice cube is coming as payment! 😂
Same! My boy is now 8 months. Curious if you trained in intervals? It was recommended to me at 8 weeks to put them in for 2 hours and leave them out 1 so we did that. He’s now in for about an hour and out for 4, but we have never left him to roam the house and I’m not sure how to get there. Fully potty trained and has never chewed up furniture but I’m not sure how long we could leave him out or how to get to that point. Want to eventually get to only sleeping in the crate at night or when he wants to.
My puppy just walked his happy rump in and fell asleep immediately. Definitely gotta train him on being quiet or going in on command to become consistent with positive results
Nice tip but you could also make a video on how to correct bad behavior in a crate of course you don’t have to since you are giving out free advice. It’s just I see this tip so often but no one talks about the fact that you will have to put your puppy in a crate before they get used to it. When you go to the store, go to bed or need to safely transport them in your car you will have to crate your puppy. So while it’s great to take the positive approach it’s not all that realistic. You can’t wait 5-7 days for your puppy to really enjoy the crate before closing the door. So knowing how to correct crate barking and whining is just as important. You want the crate to be a positive experience but you still need to have rules.
Noticing this a lot. Throw treats in there, and make it positive. Well when you first pick up a dog they are so stressed they don't care to eat treats. I tried that with the puppy I picked up last night, and he just sniffed at them, and continued whining.
If you don’t put the dog in their crate right away, where do they sleep until they are comfortable with it? Also, I’ve heard friends say their puppy cries all night for 3 weeks straight. Is that normal?
so one thing i always hear that the less you words you use the better and i’ve always thought that made sense. like when you say “good crate” that it might be overkill. but man when you see the success you have with your training and how bad ass your philosophy is, you can’t argue with it. you’re awesome brother, thanks for the content! 🙌🏽
He says “ good crate “ as a verbal praise so the pup knows he’s doing good and to keep doing it , he’s a professional trainer .. he knows what he’s doing
@@taylormeitzler2087 lol is there a disagreement somewhere in your comment? i literally praised him and said he obv knows what he’s doing because of his success.. i don’t understand lol
Now thats a crate !!! Wish I could afford one of those !! ....I couldn't imagine having a dog who wasn't crate trained...Dogs LOVE their crates....its their "safe " place...
Remember to always put them in 20 mins or so before you leave. Turn on, relax my dog UA-cam on the phone, and gather your keys, purse coat, etc, or anything that gets them going. This shows that those sounds don't mean you leave right away. Drains that intensity. Gives them a chance to slowly acclimate to being separated from you. Remember, we did this to ourselves when we domesticated them. Dogs in the wild stay together. It goes against their instincts.
Lmfao my dog doesn’t know crate but he goes in over night and is quiet. I get up first thing and take him to eat and then back in an hour. After the hour, I let him outside to roam the 1 acre I fenced in for him. He roams and chills for an hour and back in the crate for 1 hour. Then back out for fetch and back in. We do this dance until I can work from the kitchen and he can Roam freely. He has a climb command for his day bed. Once I’m off, we walk a half mile and I let him back to free roam the yard until I finish my 4 mile run. Then we fetch again. He’s in the crate 10 hours a day technically but doesn’t realize it. Also he’s a Doberman Velcro dog. I’ve noticed he’s even less clingy when I speak to him regardless of if he’s in or out the crate. I plan to begin to leave the door open. At 8 months he’s not teething as much. Weekends he can roam as much as he pleases indoors. He’s also great around other dogs and ppl. I love him loads
I find voice tone to be helpful. Normal tone for a command, whiny puppy tone for praise, growling tone for a correction. I do use food rewards for puppies, I get away from it as soon as is appropriates, since I won't always carry food and that violates consistancy.
Soon as I got my husky we trained him up since we had plans of leaving Australia for Japan during Covid19. Paid off well, 9.5 hours and didn’t poop or pee. Basically was his bed at night for 6 months 😂
I’m so glad my dogs both instantly loved their crates. Although one did not like a specific wire crate we used at first but once we switched it out, to on more like the one in the video, he loved it.
My dog wouldn’t even step inside if I threw a treat in, he would just look at me and wait for me to give it to him. I’m a new dog mom, and my 14 week old goldendoodle doesn’t even want to walk outside my door, I’ve been constant so hopefully he’s smart enough to do it but it’s getting tiring cleaning poop off the floor. It’s like he saves it for inside but won’t release outside
I use it for punishment and good things, is the dog an intelligent breed? I have a German shepherd and she willingly and happily enters the crate, I crate her per normal at bed time and when I leaving and no one will be able to watch her, but also when someone comes over she is to enter and stay until they have settled to which she only leaves when given the ok to do so, as well as a punishment when needed. been using it that way since the beginning, the key factor is that bedtime is not negative and I thought her to enter on command, currently its her place, so "go place"means I need you to enter and stay, "go to bed" means its bed time, and finaly the same words "go place" but in a harsh angry tone usually paired with right now is the punishment one she still happily enters but does so submisivly, acknowledging she knows she did bad a dumb dog might not be able to do this
Tom....I saw a video where a man is trying to break a vicious little dog... I didn't like how the chock held the dog with his fingers! What would you have done???
my dog I got a crate pretty soon after I got her she was maybe at most 4 and a half to 5 months and I got her at 4, I didnt have to create train at all, she walked in ass if she owned it, checked out the bed of blankets, and was happy to sleep there and has been ever since, she had 0 prior training as well and thats the first time she slept or entered a crate of her own, shes now a year and a half and still willingly enters but she doesnt hang out inside she prefers to lay near the humans instead I cant wait for the day I can let her rome the couch and cuddle up
I got my puppy at 5 weeks and he slept so much I just put him in there every time he fell asleep, 5 days later and he would go in there by himself just to hangout or take rest
Yeah, I did all that a number of times when mine was a pup (American Rat Terrier)! She wouldn’t do it for anything, not her favourite food not toy! She is 4 years old now, and has nothing to do with it! Not all dog breeds accept crates!
I recently bought a dog house for my rescued dog (2 yrs old). But she's super fearful of everything new and refuse to go near it. I've tried putting treats and her toys in it, I put her dog bowl near it and she just won't go near it. Any ideas?
But what do you do with them while you are going through this training? If I am not shutting the door for a few days, where is this puppy supposed to be to be safe if I cannot watch them?
The crate should be big enough for the dog to lay down on it's side and let it's legs stretch out completely, and tall enough for the dog to stand up without hitting it's head. If the space isn't restricted properly in the beginning, the dog will go to the bathroom in one corner, then just lay down in the opposite corner. This is because, if given too much room to roam (including in the house), only where they sleep is "home/den", and all the other space is "outside/not home" and they will do their business there. This is why, when some dogs roam the house, they will go in the one room you never let them go into... because to them that room is not home.
Kinda disturbing the amount of people that think tricking an animal into being trapped in a crate for hours isn’t cruel asf. How would you feel if you were trapped in a fucking cage for hours bc someone you trusted said there’s a “treat” or money in there then lock you up in there and leave and don’t know when your getting out. You guys are sick man
When you have a puppy that needs to be supervised while youre at work because i.e. the pup chews on things, a crate is the best option until you come home and start working with your puppy.
Great until you stop the treat giving. I’m frustrated teaching my 4 month old pit bull. She will NOT do anything unless I give her a treat. I don’t always have treats. I’m frustrated and ready to quit.
the same reason you have to leave a baby in its crib when you’re doing something. its for their safety, they’ll rip, eat, and just get everywhere they aren’t supposed to. it also teaches your dog to be still, if you’re at a long red light and your puppy gets impatient, it can lead to bad things. lastly, crates are usually what is used to transfer dogs. to the vet or wherever, its just good to not have to worry about as much as usual
@@mikeymoore6269 excellently put. Thank you. I will also add that along with all this great information, I have also found that dogs are naturally den animals and the crate gives them a sense of safety. That was what tripped the switch for me and I was OK thinking about it as a good tool.
@@BeNiceToday2 yes exactly, probably the most important factor honestly.actually because of that i teach my nieces and nephews to never use the cage as place to send them for a punishment. people often do so and it rids them of that comfortability they find in it. they believe, “this is where i go when im bad” and thats the last thing we need.
My pup spent every night in crate when young. After couple months became destructive. Switched to larger crate and x pen. Could not leave him in crate from then on. Bad advice to get him to like crate again. Destroyed two crates and howls, barks, scratches and freaks no matter how long you leave him alone.😢😢😢😢
I never understood crates. Id never leave my dog alone if there wasnt someone at home at all times. Id also not get a dog if i had to leave it home all the time. Even at night they sleep wherever they feel most comfortable and least hot /cold. U can also have a dog thats not clingy and destructive by training not by imprisoning them.
I introduce my pups to crates beginning at 5 weeks like this so they have a good foundation when they go to their new homes
That's fantastic. Very proactive and helpful!
That is so very helpful for the new owners. Getting a new puppy with 0 crate training or 0 time left alone is hard.
yeah annoyingly I got a golden doodle from these “breeders” and he’s 5 months and isn’t potty trained, crate trained, and hadn’t gotten his shots. got his shots but now we have to train him for basics

Not a crate but my puppy loves his pen. His pen 100% of the time means treats or a meal so he runs in there and sits down.
I’m at my wits end with my pup 😭

Excellent!! All my dogs are trained Susan Garetts Crate Games but I love his method!!
I just put my pup in there when it was sleeping for the first week so it naturally combined sleep with the crate:)
THANKS FOR THIS
Okay but what do you do w puppies in the meantime? While they are being crate trained?
Soon as I got my husky we trained him up since we had plans of leaving Australia for Japan during Covid19. Paid off well, 9.5 hours and didn’t poop or pee. Basically was his bed at night for 6 months 😂
I’m so glad my dogs both instantly loved their crates. Although one did not like a specific wire crate we used at first but once we switched it out, to on more like the one in the video, he loved it.
Which crate do you recommend? The top bottom plastic ones ? ThNks !
Thank you so much because I just got a 9 week old puppy Monday
How's it going? Congrats
@@mariana7802 it’s good he’s learning
I definitely conditioned my dog to the couch, without treats. Am I...a professional dog trainer?

I have a 8 month old and he is scared to death of it. Can't get him near the crate
Heating pad and a worn tshirt go along way for a puppy
I'm getting a puppy soon and they Luckily they have been in a crate since say 0
Tom....I saw a video where a man is trying to break a vicious little dog... I didn't like how the chock held the dog with his fingers! What would you have done???
If you don't close the door on him for a few days, where does he sleep in the mean time?
So if you aren’t using the crate for a few days where is this puppy at night?
I was a crate failure.
Might want to try a different crate. That one looks like a prison. Yikes.😮
my dog I got a crate pretty soon after I got her she was maybe at most 4 and a half to 5 months and I got her at 4, I didnt have to create train at all, she walked in ass if she owned it, checked out the bed of blankets, and was happy to sleep there and has been ever since, she had 0 prior training as well and thats the first time she slept or entered a crate of her own, shes now a year and a half and still willingly enters but she doesnt hang out inside she prefers to lay near the humans instead
I cant wait for the day I can let her rome the couch and cuddle up
So…where do you put Remy in the days before you put him in the crate since he’s just being accustomed to it in those first few days?
That is not a crate that is a prison man! 😂
I got my puppy at 5 weeks and he slept so much I just put him in there every time he fell asleep, 5 days later and he would go in there by himself just to hangout or take rest
When I do this she is still scared of the crate
Where does he/she sleep during the first few nights?

Now do a video with a small dog, big dogs teain themselves 😅
Do we need to reward with a treat everytime? I have a toy poodle.
But what do you do with them while you are going through this training? If I am not shutting the door for a few days, where is this puppy supposed to be to be safe if I cannot watch them?
A play pen- with the crate inside it with door open
What if your dog won’t follow the treat inside?
How do you keep the dog in at night if you leave the gate open?
What do you do overnight on the first 2 days 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Pls can u crate train a 4 months dog ?
TOP🎉❤😊
My Husky doesn't go inside until you throw a treat.
What do you use for the first few days of conditioning the crate? (To contain the dog and preventing messes and accidents)

Of course your dog going to freakout look at that crate it looks like a goddamn prison
