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.
Wow I always spend time with my dogs and NEVER needed a crate except when a puppy. How about actually treating them like family. Called spend time with them
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
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...
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 😂
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.
It would be awesome to see a video on your experience traveling internationally with your dog. Do you transport them via cargo or do they come on the plane with you? If by cargo, what’s been your experience with Lakota traveling as cargo? Do you sedate them or not? What’s the temp in the crate like? How do they get fed?what should we look out for ? what crate do you recommend? I would love a deep dive on this if you have the time. Looking to travel w/ my boxer mix and am super nervous about sending him through cargo for 10hrs. Thank you and love your content!
My puppy already had been crate trained before I got him because they were really good breeders to desensitize vacuum, saw, dropping metal bowl, nothing makes him afraid but a car ((giant shiny monster I would understand))
Every night my 1 year old dog still gets a treat after she goes in her crate for the night even though she doesnt need the reinforcement. I say "bed" and she runs to it happily. The treat after I close the crate and say "goodnight" is just a day ending ritual
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.
I need a video of someone very first day of training.. because my boy Remy looks trained already.. I know you said he hasnt seen this crate- but looks like remy been doing something 😩😩-
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
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.
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?
@@RaymondGalster I have moved every 12-15 months each of the 6 years I've had my dog and it's so incredibly helpful to have the safe space of the crate when that moving day comes and you're in and out of the space. My pup gets anxious otherwise and might accidentally get out with the doors being open for movers. Outside of that we don't really use it anymore, but whenever it comes out she goes right into it without being asked. She's happy and comfortable in it! There are plenty of other great reasons to crate train them, just one of my examples.
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???
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
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?
I'm having trouble finding treats my puppy likes. I've tried a whole bunch of different kinds, and I've even tried little bits of rotisserie chicken 🤦 this is an unexpected complication
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.
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
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’m rescuing a 9 month old and unsure how he will be over night not using bathroom in the house or chewing things up. How do I successfully crate train if the door can’t be closed overnight his first night. He can’t have free rain
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 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
Oops I just tell my puppy to go lay down and kept saying “nooo” very sweetly until he found his crate and now every time I say go lay down he runs to his crate and try’s to close the door
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?
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
You wont be saying that when you come home to a destroyed house or your dead dog on the floor because it got into something it wasn't supposed to. It's honestly insane on how you consider this cruel, it's only cruel if it's in there every second of the day everyday. Not only does this give the dog a safe and comfortable spot to go to, it also keeps them from destroying random things around the house.
@@KatScratches that’s why dogs are meant to be outside in a fenced area with space to run around. Some dogs these days especially smaller ones are more suited for indoors but that’s also why you train them if they destroy stuff. It’s the same as having a baby if your leaving stuff out that could harm the kid or dog or your having to lock them up when you leave then maybe it’s not the problem with the animal maybe it’s the owner/adult 🤔
@@shillslayer7767 They still get to go outside, it's not like they're constantly left in there. Dogs only use crates when people aren't home and supervising the dog. Plus you can't train instincts. If a dog gets bored it will simply do something that it enjoys, including ripping up furniture or messing up the house. You can't train them not to do that.
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.
Crate training is grea😢if you CAN'T TEACH THEM TO BE FAMILY MEMBERS. Crate training is for moving in a van. Otherwise it's called lazy, not teaching to be alone. Except for the VERY FEW who were mistreated and need it. People TRAIN your animals like children. Or get insurance
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.
Well…. They do the exact same thing right? Keep what ever is inside the crate inside the crate so they can't escape? If jails were open fields Noone would stay. Soooo yeah
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.
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.
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 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.

Crate training is for lazy people. Buy a crate for your child also if you think they are great. Never needed one after they were pups. EVER

A play pen- with the crate inside it with door open
I'm having trouble finding treats my puppy likes. I've tried a whole bunch of different kinds, and I've even tried little bits of rotisserie chicken 🤦 this is an unexpected complication

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?
I’m rescuing a 9 month old and unsure how he will be over night not using bathroom in the house or chewing things up. How do I successfully crate train if the door can’t be closed overnight his first night. He can’t have free rain
What do you do overnight on the first 2 days 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
So if you aren’t using the crate for a few days where is this puppy at night?
It probably willingly goes into it's crate to rest

I have a 8 month old and he is scared to death of it. Can't get him near the crate
I was a crate failure.
I'm getting a puppy soon and they Luckily they have been in a crate since say 0
Where does he/she sleep during the first few nights?
Pls can u crate train a 4 months dog ?
Heating pad and a worn tshirt go along way for a puppy
How do you keep the dog in at night if you leave the gate open?
Now do a video with a small dog, big dogs teain themselves 😅
When I do this she is still scared of the crate
What if your dog won’t follow the treat inside?
Might want to try a different crate. That one looks like a prison. Yikes.😮
My Husky doesn't go inside until you throw a treat.
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?
Can I do that with a 10 year old boxer?
That is not a crate that is a prison man! 😂
It's not the dog it's me I get anxious when my puppy is 'confined' idk how to shake it
You started with the easiest breed, a Lab! 😂
TOP🎉❤😊
Im having such a hard time 😢
What do you use for the first few days of conditioning the crate? (To contain the dog and preventing messes and accidents)
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.

I never understood the reason for the crate. My dog has a nice bed. I say bed and she’s goes and layers down.
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.
Crate training is grea😢if you CAN'T TEACH THEM TO BE FAMILY MEMBERS. Crate training is for moving in a van. Otherwise it's called lazy, not teaching to be alone. Except for the VERY FEW who were mistreated and need it. People TRAIN your animals like children. Or get insurance
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.
jesus that crate looks like a straight up prison
Well…. They do the exact same thing right? Keep what ever is inside the crate inside the crate so they can't escape? If jails were open fields Noone would stay. Soooo yeah
That particular crate looks like the back of a paddy wagon or a segregation jail cell lol poor dog
Of course your dog going to freakout look at that crate it looks like a goddamn prison
That crate looks like a prison
That looks like a prison not a crate lol
Why use crates at all? Seems cruel to jail pups. Please educate me.
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.
Looks like a jail
Lol do you know what jail is
Looks like jail
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.
Or you can train them to behave without the crate :) tired of seeing dogs locked up in crates for 10-16 hours a day it’s pathetic
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.😢😢😢😢
That’s abuse spending hours in a little box 😢
hahaha what is wrong with you?
Yea that’s what happens when u say crate pffftttt
