If they cry in their crate in the middle of the night, how should it be handled? They might need to go potty? Thanks for the tips!
I just brought a 14 week old Rescue dog home three days ago. He has never even been in the house before let alone crate. The first two nights of him sleeping in the crate were pretty rough. Last night he did very well and did not cry at all. During the day is a different story he goes into the crate when I have the door open and he sleeps as long as I am sitting next to the crate. He eats his meals in the crate. But if I go to leave him in the crate with the door closed, he absolutely loses his mind. Today was the first day I put him in the crate during the day for about 15 minutes and I could hear him outside. He was freaking out so bad. And he suggestions because I have to go back to work in a few days.
Feeding the dog in the crate is great introduction. We also leave the crate door open, and when he is not around, throw in a couple of treats for them to “discover”. Teach them their crate is their safe place!
Ooooo good idea!
My Boerboel will be born next week. Keep the videos coming, this is my blueprint. Very good info.

A few more weeks till pick up!! 🎉 I'm jealous. Enjoy
Picked mine up and have been watching these videos Religiously

I tell my clients the cure for crate anxiety isn’t less crate it’s MORE CRATE! You can’t go around the problem you have to go through it. It’s going to suck a little, you might lose a little sleep but you will get through it if you do these steps just like Tom has shown here even with older dogs. Mealtimes, time outs with a chew bone/kong, while you are in shower, when you are cleaning the floors, when you are bringing in the groceries… all of these are opportunities for short duration practice… don’t take your foot off the gas just because they are doing good. This routine stays for life. ❤
..oh and nighttime if they start whining wait a until a quiet moment then get up put a leash on them and take them out potty, if they go great! If they don’t then it’s straight back to the crate , stop by the water bowl, then put them back in. I say this because you don’t want to be the a-hole who didn’t check if they were okay when they had explosive diarrhea and a bad tummy and you were being tough on them because they were whining. They will realize that when you do this it’s only going to be business first and then they have to go back to sleep good pup.
The cure for cage anxiety is to never put your dog in a cage!!! Let your dog sleep in your bedroom. Give your dog freedom and affection!!!
@@Zarlita1what about if you decide to travel with them and it’s on a flight? Can they just sit in a seat next to you? 😱
@@Zarlita1
That's the spirit. I never understood the idea of locking your dog up.
You literally sound like a psychopath!!!!! Get help immediately!!!!!
@@Zarlita1wrong. You don’t bring needles to a tweaker
I needed this reminder thank you. My dog got sick and I almost died so while she was getting better I let her sleep in bed with me. She's doing great now and I'm not sleeping well because she's a thrasher at night so tonight will be her first night back in the crate. Wish me luck!
Good luck! And how's it going?
Rescued a Great Pyrenees at approx. 3 yrs of age who wasn’t crate trained … the owners couldn’t handle it after two nights with little sleep! He ended up having major separation anxiety his entire life … and it was always very difficult to handle or control, when he decided he wanted inside or out. When I attempted crate training he destroyed the cage … I was never able to accomplish this … but I was able to kennel him in a 20x10 and that worked.
I was raised around animals and we started to crate train our dogs when my folks started raising Rottweilers. I now have a St. Bernard cross and from the day she arrived home, she was crate trained. For about the first week or so I used pads inside the crate but didn’t need them after that, because even as a puppy she could hold it overnight!
When I’m not in the vicinity she’s in the crate and all meals are fed in the crate. Learned years ago property doesn’t have to be damaged if dogs are properly crate trained.
With a very energetic 8 week old shepski this has worked WONDERS. Huge thank you
I have raised and trained dogs for twenty years. The hardest one I ever crate trained was a pet pup that I got for 1 of my kids, a Pyr x GSD x Saint. He was raised outside and had never been contained or restrained. He took a full week of angry tantrum screaming non stop before he finally caved. We have never figured it out, but he could somehow reach things that were located a foot away from that crate. One day he pulled a sleeping bag through piece by piece while he complained voraciously. 😮
However, once he submitted, he became the sweetest dog. Even years later when he hadn't been in a crate for several years and we had to put him in for some reason, he just quietly settled in and napped.
It pays HUGE dividends to outstubborn them. ❤
this video changed how training my dog was going, before i struggled to keep her attention, now im making steady progress with teaching her to sit, wait and go into the kennel. thanks so much!!
My son has your pups’ twin! We babysat our 18 month old grandson and 8 week old bull mastiff for a week shortly after they got their pup. I am a firm believer in crate training and put the pup in there for every nap time. He also slept in it (for the night). If I didn’t have that, I would have gone nuts trying to care for our grandson at the same time. He did great. Kudos for emphasizing this training!
Very similar to teaching a baby to self soothe - if you keep running to your baby every time they cry, the baby will know that that's how he or she gets attention. If you leave the baby alone for a few minutes to see if they can learn to self soothe, they will eventually learn to fall asleep on their own.
Actually self soothing is a myth. When babies stop crying as a result of no one going to them, their stress levels stay the same. It's the mother's stress levels that get reduced when the baby stops crying.
This really helps define the in-between steps I missed. It’s crisp and consistent. I’ve had my pup 2 weeks, he eats every meal in his crate, sleeps at night really well, but naps are a little more difficult. He’ll go in half way and then I help him make the rest of the decision. Lol! Thank you so much for helping me clean it up…I’ve got some more work to do. Truly inspiring videos!!
I would love to see what you do to prevent food aggression between dogs and also how to get through the land-shark puppy phase where they won’t stop chomping on your hands and clothes 😅
I just love his lil legs. So sweet.

My XL American bully loves her crates. No regrets crate training.
Thanks for sharing!
We have an 11 week old Toller puppy. Yesterday I was able to bring him to our 7 year old Toller’s agility training session and he did awesome in his crate watching the other dogs train and he took naps. Started crate training as soon as we got him at 7 weeks. Only woke up two nights for potty breaks and he’s been sleeping through the night with no accidents ever since. He’s been coming to my older Toller’s agility practices since he was 8 weeks old. They learn fast if you are consistent!
8:14 yeessss. I honestly see a lot of similarities with dog training and teaching your kids. I wish my wife wasn't so coddly because it's just like this with kids too.
Sometimes life is tough and they've got to gradually learn what that's like so they're prepared, if we don't, haven't we failed them?
If you show her some of my other reactive, aggressive and fearful videos you can show her what could happen...
@@tomdavisofficial To clarify, i did mean coddling our son XD
I've yet to have my own doggo at the age of 32 but I know when I do, it'll be done with methods like these, i've always felt this to be the right way. Ya'll are the best.
You guys are actually a 1.5 hour drive from us, i wish we'd make a trip out just to see how you train one day.
So good! Thanks Tom!
Thank you for amazing content. I’m devouring it like crazy since we bring home an 8 week English Mastiff puppy on Friday. I’ve heard in your podcast that the Boerboel is particularly stubborn, and this seems to be a mastiff trait! I look forward to continuing following your puppy journey, and with your help from afar (and our local trainer) look forward to having a wonderful family pet that will provide home protection. Keep up the wonderful work for all of the dogs (and their people). :)
Dude, thank you so much. It's crazy how simple it is, yet it's still so difficult for most of us. You definitely made it look super easy. Thank you!!!!
Trying new method so can actually leave house. Thanks for reminder to get on it.😊
Another awesome detailed video. I love that you showed the progression of the training! I don't think I ever seen a video this detailed ! But, hey it's you Tom Davis!!! Expect nothing less. ❤🐾🐕🦺
🫶🏻
My lady and I love this series. 🎉❤ great work as always
Thanks for watching!
I am loving this series with your new puppy @tomdavisofficial . My 2 1/2 boxer is my 1st dog and I crate trained and persevered and it is my no.1 favourite and easential tool but honestly I didnt know what i was doing those first few months and it all took me much longer than it needed to as I just wasn't sure when I was getting it right and when to persevere (heh, having a new puppy is very tiring at times). Nothing beats 1st hand experience which i now have to an extent and wouldn't make the same mistakes again but I wish I had had access to these series at that time. Lookin forward to following the rest over the next few months 👍 🤩🐕
Another great video, Tom! Well done.
Thank you!
Love this video
great video. Burleigh is such a cool dog. he's gonna be a big one. you're going to have to get a bigger crate in a little while.
Crates are king. Al of our dogs end up loving their crate and it becomes "their" space. It's important to let people know that they should never use the crate as punishment. I like how easily that crate collapses down but for the home crate I prefer one with more openness so the dog feels like he isn't as isolated. Sometimes I drape a big towel or blanket over it to make it a little more cozy and protected feeling. You're killing it brother. Great job.
2 of the Best thing I ever did was start crate training when I brought Luna home at 9 weeks and put her on a schedule. It helped so much with her potty training.
Its all about the crate being their DINNER BREAKFAST and LUNCHEON location. Even without perfection on the other details, i have a video myself on this very thing with my 6 x 1 year olds(at the time) AmStaffs. Which CANNOT WAIT TO GO INTO THEIR CRATE!! Great presentation as always, TOM!
It's realy amazing to watch you and Burleigh doing and rocking this training together, as a team and that's how it should be 🥰 thank you very much for taking us with you on this special journey!
I'm a dog-gramdma and I've learned so much "only" by watching your videos. Before she (Heidi, a Bernese Mountain Dog, 2 years) came into our life, I never had a pet. Now I can't imagine a life without her ❤️ I was love strucked in seconds. She's an absolutely best and cutest dog I ever met. 🥰
Thank you for showing how important all these trainings steps are, especially the crate training! 🫶🏻👍🏻
Im so glad we crate trained our dog when she was young. Now its the reactive behavior that needs work. Even people walking past the yard she barks so much. She comes when she is called but then runs right back and barks. So frustrating
I adopted my dog 4mo ago. He’s never been crate trained until we took him in, he’s currently 2y/o. He is getting the hang of crate training especially at night but when I wake up he knows it’s feeding time and barks constantly. He also does this when I get home. He’s the craziest dog I’ve ever had yet and but adore him lol
Great content! I get so many people who disagree with my crating my pups, it's necessary.
You're gonna need a bigger boat...errr...crate.
jaaahhhh mate!
Like next week! That boy is a beast 😂
Dear Tom i love your style and explanation. I got a rescue rotti 2 months ago, 4yo female, everythibg is still so new for her, she is heightened and anxious, such a funny pudding, sometimes even hard to encourage her to come outside. Realize have to take things nice and slow and try build her confidence
👍🏻
for my foster puppies i get them used to the crate by scattering their kibble into the crate one handful at a time, closing the door, and then repeat until their food is finished. eventually, they just wait inside for their food. then I just lengthen the time between dropping kibble into the crate, do this randomly, etc.
As a fellow trainer I also wanted to touch on the importance of crate training besides just the safety but also vets and groomers use crates! Having your dog ok with the crate makes them less stressed in these environments. Crates are needed if you ever have to go to an evac shelter and your dog has be be behaved in it, and if your dog ever has an injury where rest in imperative (lets say recovering from an ACL surgery) crating makes it 1000% more easier. Great video keep up the good work
Getting that special Corso with kennel aggression gets fun. Lifestyle gets turned upside down and vacation, what vacation. lol One thing I think wasn't touched on is never use the crate for punishment. The dog does something wrong so boom inside the crate. This will become a nightmare and a fight.
Lol, I also lifted my pup in the crate when she fell asleep :D great job..
We just got a puppy and messed up by just putting her in there. Ty for this video we are going to try it this way
My puppy is still chewing & swallowing non food items at 11 months old. He swallowed a pair of boxers once. The large crate for his large frame has been his life saver. I get him out to play & go for walks several times a day.
I gotta get me one of those crates.
We have 2 rescue pups, one we very successfully crate trained. He loves it, sleeps in it, naps in it, runs to it voluntarily. It is his happy spot.
the second one, oooooooh boy. He will only sleep in a crate when he can see us. He has a massive amount of separation anxiety and if we put him in a wire mesh crate for more than an hour he will literally destroy anything in or on top of it. He's destroyed several beds (including the Kong tough ones), pulled blankets from the top into the crate and shredded em. Need to get one of those impact ones that he can just lie in and it be dark with no additional blankie or bed required.
Stick with it! I had a pup like your second, except it was tantrum (how dare you constrain me) as opposed to worried separation anxiety.
He pulled a sleeping bag through the crate piece by piece. How he got it from a foot away we'll never know! Lol.
It took a full week of consistent and patient waiting for that split second while he caught his breath for the next outburst, taking him out, potty training and rewarding successful emissions with 30 minutes of play / training time, then back in the crate for more long outbursts of temper for him to finally cave.
But that stubborn commitment to crate train paid off in dividends. He never forgot and was perfect in the crate even after years of not needing it when we did have to put him in one again.
Hang in there!
Your puppy is so cute
I needed this thank you & I’m a sauna junky myself - lol
Planning on getting my own pup this year and these videos are awesome ! Makes the whole process seem less complicated.
So if you wanted your dog to eventually sleep with you and have it crate trained is that a possibility?
Also timing wise how long into crate training can you just let your dog be around with you ?
While crate training I had someone call the local humane society because they thought a puppy was being tortured every night 😂. I read a Facebook post from the humane society asking for help locating a possible neglected and hurt puppy on my street so I had to call them the first chance I got before I got knocks on my door in the middle of the night! They were an entire street away from my home haha. Didn’t take too long for him to be fully crate trained and now he knows that’s his personal space and goes on command. He is my first crate trained dog too.
Hey Tom! Thanks for the videos. Where do you recommend we let our 8 week old pup sleep the first few nights we have her? Do we sleep her in the kennel? Or should we use an x pen while we are kennel training her? (Also taking your potty training advice and doing potty breaks every few hours through the night)
Thanks brotha! Might come see you when you touch down in WA state in June 💪🏽
Awesome! Wondering where he slept when you just got him? Not imiditaly in the crate overnight?
Can I ask the camera an lens you are using it’s awesome quality
Question for the first week were do u let the puppy sleep. I have a 7 week old boerboel too and I just ran into ur videos . I made the mistake of putting him in there for sleep of course he cried 😢.Super helpful ur content!!
Well done new puppy and young child you seem understandably exhausted but soo good . Ironically we did a similar thing with our kids cot not crate though😉
Should add we didn't throw treats in but the timing thing was literally the same and it worked.😊
So, if crate training a new puppy during the day, let's say a 8 weeks old puppy, for a couple of weeks, what do we do at night time? The pup needs to spend the night there but we didn't complete the crate training and the pup will cry maybe until they fall asleep. How do we approach nigh- time crate? How do we get them out in the morning or breaks if they are continuously crying or excited? Just wait for a few quiet seconds? Thanks! I love your content!
Crate training is the best thing you can teach your dog. Helps if they go to the vet, separation anxiety and if the need to travel as well.
Dude he is already getting so big
I was checking out your merch an was wondering why you don't have any bundle packs I would totally buy bundle with hat , T-shirt and maybe something else
We rescued a pitbull puppy recently. The previous owners said he was 6mo, but when we got him, I kept feeling like he was too big and too mature looking to be just 6 months. He's also unfixed and a bit pigeon toed... we harassed them for his paperwork that they were supposed to give to us when we got him but "couldn't find it."
Finally, like 3 weeks later, they sent it. Turned out he was actually 9 months old. They didn't train him. He was not housebroken. He was not crate trained. He didn't like toys. Didn't even know the name they gave him. They said he would "piss & poop his crate all the time." The first day with us, he pissed everywhere and pooped inside. The first few weeks with us were hell, but he never pooped inside after that first time. He's been with us a little over a month now. We're still working on getting him properly house trained, but accidents are becoming a lot less frequent.
We super appreciate all the advice and lessons we've taken from responsible dog trainers like you and a few others here on YT. Thank you for making this free for those of us who can not afford time with professional dog trainers.
I don't seem to have so much trouble when crate training my pups 😮 like you seem to be having, mine seem to like going in there and playing, I think it's because they feel safe
I’m three weeks out from a puppy! How soon should we start this? Where does he sleep before he’s trained to sleep in his crate, and while potty training?
I put my Boerboel pup in the crate and it was super helpful with toilet training. In fact he has never urinated or pooed in the house once. By 7 months he no longer would sleep at night in the crate without wining unless the door was left open. The crate is a double extra large dog crate so the size wasn’t the issue. As a Boerboel get’s in to teen hood the guarding instinct comes through and they like to be able to deal intruders and hence the issue with being locked in the crate. The Boerboel called Cooper that Tom rehabilitated was quite unusual as Boerboels are seldom reactive as they seldom fear any other dog. The owners of Cooper seemed like lovely people but not really suitable owners for a dominant super powered dog like a Boerboel, if they think you are not a leader they will fill the gap. So if you like the cuddly pup Tom has be aware that a 16 month old male will eat up to 2.5kg of raw meat a day, require daily training, require a two hour walk a day, require a huge amount of socialisation and endless play. A Boerboel is not just a pet it is a project.
What are the treats you are using? Looking for good training treat recommendations.
You need blankets, beds and comfort in the crate
I think I saw somewhere that you feed raw primarily? If yes, what treats do you recommend? What kibble are you currently using for Burleigh? Thanks!!
I did something similar with mine, I call it house instead of crate. After she eats I give her five treats, two at her bowl and the other three in her house. I don’t even have to say house, I say are you ready, and she just goes in there and waits for me.
Out of interest sake - where has the puppy been sleeping at night if not in the crate? When I chose my GSD puppy and gave his breeder a blanket that I wanted him to give to the litter and the mom so they could really impregnate the blanket with their scent. This blanket came home with my puppy when I collected him and I placed it in his crate - that way the scent of his littermates and mom where with him. Every time he fell asleep I picked him up and placed him in his crate so he always woke up in it. I always had eyes on him so I could take him out before he started crying. The first night he slept just fine in his crate with being taken out to go potty several times on a timer I set. The second and third night he cried but we stuck it out and also stuck to the calm night potty routine. After that he never cried during the night again, understanding that I would come during the night and take him out to potty and that it is not playtime. At about 5 months of age I trained him to sleep in our bedroom on a mattress on the floor next to my bed. That training took about a week and he then understood that playing around equals he does not sleep in our room and if he is calm he gets to sleep in our room. Never had any issues with him. He still sleeps by my side on the floor on his mattress. Unfortunately I had to give up the crate as it was too small for him when he got to 5 months of age and this is why I took this route. Outside he has a large enclosure where I can place him when we leave our home and I want him in a safe place.
He was in my room. I chose to wait until he was conditioned. It's very discretionary per dog, that's just what I did.
Great video. I have a question though, im thinking of getting a boerboel puppy within in the next 6 months. The breeder is in Europe and im in Asia, obviously it will need shipping. How will that time a new puppy has to spend in a crate to be shipped effect crate training. Will the puppy be more difficult or easy to crate train. Thank you.
That's a crazy title for that video 😂
Agreed, lol
Where did the pup sleep for the first few nights before crate training started? In the xpen?
What about nighttime during the first week when you're supposed to keep the door open?
Do they do this style crate for bigger god ie Doberman ? Looks quality
I know the conditioning is part if making a good experience. But what do you do with them while you are going through this process? Most people have to work and sleep and want to keep their puppy safe.
Do you add blankets to the crate for comfort?
Hey, Tom I have a maltipoo pup he’s four months, I think he has separation anxiety how can i train him out of it?
I commented on another vid on this series but I got a question can I start to train my puppy at 5 weeks ?
My dog is 9 month old and is perfectly crate trained. He goes into his crate by his own sometimes. But is the crate something i need to use his whole life? If its to warm i want to allow him to search a colder place on the floor. If it's to cold i want to allow him to get a place near the heater.. U know what i mean? I totaly enjoy all the benefits from a crate trained dog but i also would like to give him more freedom.. What do you recommend?
we got a cheap cate that as a lot of visibility would you recommend covering the crate some way so he cant see whats going on around him or it doesn't matter ??
When you are first starting crate training, where was he sleeping at night? I want to make the crate a positive experience but also don’t want to take steps backward.
Where are you putting him when you leave, shower etc. if you're not using the crate for the first week other than implementing this training?
i am one of those people that give in with the crying and barking and didn't persist with crate training when I first got my doberman puppy. he hates the crate and doesn't want anything to do with it and dobermans are very stubborn..how can i train him now at 11 month do i use the same approach in this video?
Should they be allowed to take naps still outside the crate?
I also had to quit crate training for my 2nd puppy because I have neighbors on either side of our walls and I didn't want to get noise complaints
I wish I thought of the car! She is still 4 months so hopefully I can still try
Four months is VERY young. They’re still sponges at that age. In any case, better late than never!
4 months is not too old.
I crate trained a rescue Saint at the age of 2 that had to be removed from the neighborhood she was in because she was completely untrained and considered that neighborhood's menace.
It still worked.
Using a crate in your car is definitely a possibility, especially if you have a garage to further dull the noise.
Small consistent steps, keep trying!
Where did your puppy sleep before they were crate trained? And at what point were you able to leave them in it all night?
Don’t forget the electrical cords. Puppies love to chew cords. Creates protects your puppies.
Our puppy sleeps in her crate at night really well until about 3-4am. We take her outside and then once she goes back in she barks/whines the rest of the morning/night 10:50. Any tips?

That crate costs $600-800 on Amazon.
Is it okay to put them in a crate if you go to work and your out 5 hours or in some cases 8? Is it to much time for them to be in such a small space for so long?
Where does your pup sleep for the first week or so while you’re crate training??
He’s getting so much bigger quickly ❤
Does anyone know what breeder he got the dog from?
Where does he sleep the first couple night before crate training?
If you don't shut the door for a week? Where does he sleep at night? Thanks
Hi do u sill do 1 on one 1 training I really need it !!!!!The thing is I have a border collie and on walks he will jump and growl at some people and dogs but some people and dogs he will be fine with them but it’s unexpected please help me on what to do. 🙏🙏🙏pin????
Do you know a way to stop a dog from trying to escape its yard?
Cold duck 04
Trouble is, in 8 months time he won’t fit his head in that crate.
We just started with “ in your bed “ from day one.. 👍🏼
Can I ask why you got this breed ? They’re rare and not too many people even trainers have them
👌👌👌
Should you have a dog sleep in the crate the first night you get them or should you get a metal pin until you work with him in the crate?
a metal pin?
I just give mine a big bone and it keeps them busy for hour 😴 in their crate
