Crate Training
When telling the dog to go into his crate, use a command such as “kennel.” To get the dog accustomed to staying in the crate, give him meals or treats in the crate with the door open. Put some washable bedding and a toy in the crate for comfort.
When using the crate for discipline or to interrupt unacceptable behavior patterns, limit the incarceration to 10-15 minutes. If the pup or dog soils the crate, do not scold, instead, make arrangement so he is not left alone for such long periods. Once they begin to accept this new restriction on their freedom, they quiet down and learn to enjoy it.
Crate Training Adult Dogs
At first let her smell and investigate the crate with the door open. Feed her meals in it and have her jump in and out of it for treats. Just as you would with a puppy, you should make the crate a comfortable place to be and keep crating periods short in the beginning. Along with their natural instinct to sleep in a den, puppies are born with the instinctive desire to keep their dens clean. Given the opportunity, most puppies will seek out an area to relieve themselves that is far away from where they eat, play and sleep. Using a crate takes advantage of this natural tendency and helps the puppy to learn to control himself in between trips outside.
