5 Crate Training Steps that ACTUALLY Work 🙌 This is how I crate trained Wally in ONE WEEK 🐶

[@bondmaxworld1]

The Guide elaborates on the techniques used on the show. The examples given in the kzbin.infoUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 are helpful and some of the techniques suggested very useful. One such technique/tool suggested was the lure stick to encourage a small dog to keep up with the heel command. I have a small dog who lags behind smelling any and everything and find it hard to keep bending over while walking to his level. The lure stick is great also for another dogs focus and sprinting at anything that catches her eye. The stories about different dogs, their different temperaments, have been helpful, especially Lulu's: After reading about Lulu's challenges I felt relief concerning one of my rescues that I have had for 10 years. Over many years I have checked out many training books from the library, watched different shows, DVDS, bought training books, taken lessons and this book is the best by far! Kindness, patience and perseverance works.

1. Make crate Disneyland - play in/around crate (hide food under bowls) - normalise crate (5 times a day, 5-10 mins) - open and close - feed in crate with slow feeder, door open then slowly close over days - food and groov

[@melanierose9015]

If you only do 5-10 minutes 5x per day, what do you do at night?

we just teach them to pee outside :))

Where do they sleep in the meantime while you are crate training??? Especially new puppies. Not one crate training video addresses this!

[@FrankHuynh]

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVOR! I recently got a baby Pomsky - Right now I'm trying to make the crate feel like disney land and when he cries and is silent momentarily I reward. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

[@RachelFusaro]

YESSS! That’s all you my friend 🙌 Great work. Thanks for the ❤️

[@annabellel5192]

getting a pomsky soon! any tips?

[@FrankHuynh]

@@annabellel5192 Start crate training them day 1, walking in and out of all doors of your home to desensitize and returning with treats. And expect a lot of sounds coming from them. But as Rachel in her video stated - make sure to make the crate feel as much as Disneyland as possible.

[@emilydavid6719]

So helpful my puppy came home yesterday and he adjusted to the crate instantly with all your tips. The kids sat around playing with him whilst inside and now goes in and out on his own and slept so well in it last night. Thank you so much!!!! Also following your potty training and it’s going great thank you!!!

[@brittneyerp4158]

I know this is an older video, but I have to tell you how much we LOVE watching your training videos! My wife and I just got our first puppy together (GSD named Yuri) although it’s not my first rodeo it’s nice to have these refresher courses! It really is helping my wife learn too as this is her first dog!!!! Thank you so much for all of your knowledge and willingness to share so that people can have a successful and happy/healthy relationship with their pups! Stay Lifted!

[@Setapart4hisglory2016]

Thank you so much for this video! We have a 9 week old cavapoo that we have had for a week and the nights have been painful. Yesterday I followed what you said to do to get them to love her crate and it worked. She slept until 5:30 with minimal crying. It was a good night sleep for everyone

[@oscarfarnacio9242]

I am bringing a mini bernedoodle that’s 10 weeks old next week. He is projected to be 22-25 lbs. We are purchasing a diggs crate - do you think a small or medium size crate would be better? Thank you!

[@ronlevy7288]

Wow... the best 3 minute video that for some reason took 15 I have ever seen.

[@sarahpennington3161]

I am newly obsessed with your videos!! I am picking up our new puppy tomorrow (6/17/22) and I have learned so much over the last couple weeks! I even got a used Diggs crate to prepare for crate training. I also went and purchased raw/freeze dried dog food to transition my older dog and new puppy to. I am learning so much. I also want to mention that dog insurance was something I now know to purchase as soon as i get a puppy 😊. Thank you so much for preparing me this time around for training a puppy. 💜🐶🐶

[@samanthasanchez6691]

$300 bucks for a crate. Yikes! Very informative video, though.

[@linakuch1912]

yup, imma just buy a normal one

[@ashleedonald9281]

Hi

[@BennyVI]

You can actually get it refurbished for 175

[@Yeewen88]

And it’s quite a small crate in my opinion more like a carrier which should be used for an extremely short while occasionally even in the car small puppies could be on someone lap or use a harness and buckle Even starting out I would say to use a pen at night

[@cannibalpotato11]

That's what I thought too

[@joannorengo5433]

Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge. Emily doesn’t have an issue with her crate at bedtime only when I go out. Today I put treats in her crate after breakfast. I put her inside & sat on the floor with the crate door open. She was suspicious at first but then relaxed. I later had to step out. I put her in the crate with treats & walked away. She whimpered a little bit but didn’t frantically bark. I called my son & he said she was calm downstairs in her crate & never cried. I know there’s more practice to do but I’m incredibly impressed how well your advise works. More comments to come in your other videos. Can we send pics? Would love to show off my baby girl. She’s a Maltese/Havanese mix.

[@SomeMinorDogTraining]

For anyone reading this: I know that dog training can be difficult sometimes, but you're doing great. Keep up the good work, and your dog (and your own sanity) will thank you for it! ❤️💕

[@NeenaReneeKnows]

Thank you so much. Disneyland and practice have helped me so much. We started practicing yesterday and this morning my new puppy went into her crate and didn’t make a sound! Thank you!

[@gmhall551]

Another thing I like about this is..no matter where you are in your room, your pup feels secure because they can see you on any angle..make's pup feel you are visible to them at all times..good job

[@Salduwaisan26]

and also the top is closed!! i heard when you put something on top of the crate like a blanket it makes them feel more safe

[@diablabeauty4585]

Thank you so much you don’t know how much this helps me with my puppy. I got him back to loving his crate in a week 😍 now he goes straight in with no problem during bed time

[@hazelflag]

Love Diggs crate. We had a different one and he wasn’t having it. It lasted a week. Invested in this and it’s worth the money. Started practicing last night and he slept without crying last night!

[@marylittlejohn5891]

Great video, but maybe you should do a different video selling a crate. It takes up a large portion of your video, that is labeled “crate training”.

[@elizabethb5024]

I agree. Too much selling.

[@shahad1982]

I disagree. I appreciate the review, and fits perfectly in this type of video, because as a first time dog owner who is figuring out through trial and error what will work for us, this is really helpful 🙏🏻

[@jamiematthews9525]

But she’s ’not sponsored’ right? Of course she is. Didn’t learn anything o didn’t already and spent half the time learning a about a crate I’m not going to buy. I also think it’s illegal to say something isn’t a sponsored video, when it clearly is. It is in the U.K. anyway! Happy to be wrong though.

[@bamaengineer]

Rachel we are such big fans! We just got our Bloodhound puppy Copper a few days ago. He already knows how to sit and lay down! We are doing our best to make his crate Disney land but he still whines from time to time. He slept all night in the crate last night so I think we are on our way.

[@leaderlinh]

I just discovered your channel! because I'm preparing for my own little Maltipoo puppy, I'm getting in a month. And I was really happy to get your recommendation for this crate! and I'm so down to spend the money for it, because I know it's worth it. but unfortunately they do not ship internationally because I'm from Germany ); however I just wanted to drop some love, because I love your approach & mindset, your videos helped me a lot to decide on a few things concerning feeding for example! thanks for making all these videos & please keep making them!! greets from Berlin :)

This is all tough when you work full time. I have to come home during lunch to take our puppy out. He has been pretty good in the crate though. We have been feeding him near and at the entrance. Our first night, he cried for about 5 minutes and then went to sleep. Now we are on day 5 and he has only whined in the night when he had to go to the Beth room. Hopefully we are doing things right!

Great video thank you. Our puppy still cries and howls in his crate if he’s done eating and/or we leave the room. We’ve worked up slowly and used all these tools. We are prisoners in our own home and need some encouragement as to how slow/long this process will be. It’s been over 3 weeks now of working on this.

Sadly no - we take turns doing errands or send him to daycare or get someone to watch him if we need to go out. It’s frustrating and depressing but he’s so darn cute!

[@laurenhudson1194]

Is he a frenchie by any chance? I just got one and am experiencing this

[@katebruno9255]

@@laurenhudson1194 no, he’s a mutt. He was the 1st one to leave his litter/mom so perhaps related to that? I don’t know for sure but he’s super attached. We have also been experiencing a major crisis in the family so maybe he’s responding to that. For now we use a combo of daycare or grandparent sitting with him if we need to leave. If we try the crate for even 10mins without us here and then try again then next day he’ll run and hide so it’s impossible to be consistent. He is fine in there if we are home with him

[@ezekiel-bethanygoff4288]

If you're planning to have your puppy sleep in their crate, do you put them in the first night, even if they're not 100% jazzed about the crate yet?
