Another interesting way to have the dog associate the crate with their home is that my wife and I put the dog in the crate close to us while we’re having dinner so the dog realizes that when she’s in the crate it isn’t because we’re leaving. We always give the dog a treat going into the crate, but when we take the dog out, we just open the door and walk away so we encourage the dog to go in but we don’t encourage the dog to come out with treats. She Hass to come up by her own will.

Every time I watch one of these videos the puppy seems almost completely trained already and super comfortable with a kennel. While mine is whining constantly and biting at the kennel.

So excited to see that Nancy came back to let us meet her new puppy!😊 Just saw the podcast episode that she was in so it's cool to see a bit of an update! Good luck with that cute new pupper of yours!❤️

[@DLM232]

What a sweety🐶❤️🐶looking forward to watching puppy and Nancys adventures😊if I could only have 1 tool it would be the crate, patience and she’ll learn to love it and the games it brings. Have fun.

[@annaperley45]

will you please talk about how to teach puppy to stay home alone (in the crate or out)? there's so many controversial information, some say that to avoid separation anxiety in the future you should just leave it even if it's crying, others say that leaving them to cry it out will actually lead to separation anxiety. we are so confused and afraid to do the wrong thing, feels like we are chained to our puppy for the last two months

@@MissAthena34 we just brought home our puppy and he’s great at night - his crate is next to our bed and he doesn’t whine or bark. But trying to get him comfortable in tbe crate during the day is a different story 🫣 we have another crate out in the main living area we want him to get used to being in, but anytime he is in there with the door shut - even when we are in the room or right next to his crate - he barks and whines a LOT! I’m going to try encouraging him in with treats and not making a big deal when he exits, as you suggest. But wondering if, in the beginning when you did it for short periods of time, did your dog still whine a bunch? I’m so nervous to do it wrong and make him grow up to hate the crate, so just not sure how much barking/whining is okay in the beginning 🫣

[@caitlinsoule8556]

@@KatieMarie we had this exact same issue. Eventually we only used the bedroom crate even for naps and he’s much better during the day. I think he needs the quiet to settle down and has too much FOMO if he can see us in the living room. Also really helped to give a treat when we nap him, even just a few carrots and he’s quiet at first and settles in.

[@kindpoison]

Same!! I still don't know what's best! I chose not to let him cry which I think was the wrong thing because now I can't leave him! He crys for hours and try's to chew out the crate. He's 12 weeks old. I don't know what to do and videos on KZbin are not helping!

[@dorkatomankova5132]

​@@kindpoisonat 12 weeks your puppy need aprox 20 hours of sleep a day. Make sure to make him a little bit tired by playing with him and letting him burn some of the steam off before you put him in. Then give him a chew toy or kong to ocupy and calm himself with. You can stay near by at the begining until he falls asleep

[@kindpoison]

@dorkatomankova5132 I've tried all this and doesn't work. He cries for ages and tries to bite his way out of the cage

[@richwhippersnapper]

Good video. I am getting a new Bichon puppy soon. That is a very well behaved puppy in the video. I hope my puppy is that good!

[@virnib924]

What size crate is suitable for a puppy that is coming home at 8 weeks? The adult weight will be 25 lbs

[@tonygreen1067]

What's the best way to size a crate so it's not too big or too small?

[@carloshex]

Hey! I love your videos and your dog and I thank you for all the time that you take to teach us. I have a question and don't know who else to ask. 1 am buying a 4 month old Akita from a reputable breeder. The puppy has been socialized a bunch with people, dogs and environments. I also met the puppy and seemed to have an amazing temperament. I'm just a bit concerned about his age. You mentioned that the most important window for a puppy closes at 4 months (the exact age that I am getting mine). Do you think this will be a problem and is he going to have an easy time transitioning to a new home? Will our bonding be affected? Is he too old? Thanks for your help!

[@justsomebody1910]

I've been gifted the cutest pug puppy ever. For the house line, can I have a collar on a pug? I have a vest for walks, but is a collar okay for around the house?

[@Jakbkwik1]

How often should we put a 10 week old pup in his crate throughout the day?

[@jadedchick.4352]

My husband raised German Shepherds all of his life. He never crated trained. Since his death, I need protection and I got 2 German Shepherds. We crated and they love it! 💕 They go into the crates on their own. It is security, their den. And…. Mama gets some private time. There is no privacy with Shepherds 😅

[@judymiller5154]

same with my 4 mo labrador puppy...jumps into my lap (already more dog than lap 😁), wants to incessantly chew at my pants and socks and roll around under my legs if I sit in a chair, etc. She happily naps in her closed, covered crate now. The BEST crate training advice was to provide a very high value, long-lasting chew - I had raw soup bones and knuckle bones from a 1/2 beef in the freezer - and then take it away when you open the crate. Now she runs into her crates often, just checking 👍

[@HeRo-qd6tk]

Thank you Nancy for sharing your adventure ❤

I have a good-sized wire crate for my 7 month old puppy that I rescued a couple of weeks ago. I wondered if a crate cover would be a good idea. I’ve tried just using a sheet, but she pulls it down. I was wondering about a heavier cover that can’t be pulled in. Thoughts?

[@ckee8437]

I recall my parents using those fitted sheet clips to secure the sheet under the crate when we needed to have it covered, might be worth a shot

[@dauphnechua7423]

Hi, what works for me is to put something that is bigger than the crate on top, then you can put the sheet cover, not touching the sides of the crate, the puppy cant pull the sheet

[@jocelynwright7758]

When purchasing a crate for your puppy What size do I get Mixed info Do I get one that will work when it’s full grown? Been told to get the wire kind w movable panel Thanks

[@LordZuip]

Heeey! I need help! My 11 week old puppy isnt food motivated at all :/ She isnt a great eater too... ive tried like 4 different kinds of treats

[@tiramisumochi4787]

Is it possible to crate train from 14 weeks? We’re just getting a 14 week old puppy and worried that training may be a challenge!

[@masonchicka101]

Is there any tips for a puppy who doesn’t mind napping in the crate during the day but when it’s time to sleep will not stop barking. She has been fed had water and been played with.

[@y00nic0rn]

What can we do if we did all of the steps but our pup likes to growl and bark at us still. We tried the walk away method and if she's quiet will say Yes and treat the back of the kennel. But when we need to leave, she continues and even if we say ah or no.

Do you have any advice for transporting puppy/dog in the car? 💙

How do you start crate training with a new puppy when my older dog 1.5 years was not (a mistake I learned from)

[@midlifemom5829]

My 4yo MalShi had a bad experience with crate as puppy and refuses to train. When he was pup his paw got stuck in grate as i was putting him in. Ive tried on/off to train with treats, but not working. What am i doing wrong?

[@ckee8437]

Maybe try an exercise enclosure instead so you don't have that trauma response.

[@jonnanr18]

My pup refuses to go into crate no matter what I do! I tried all treats, toys, his favorite chewing bones - he just throws such a tantrum… He doesn’t eat his treats and do not touches anything inside the crate, showing me a complete resistance… By the way, the lady that owns that sweet pup, looks like a yoga lady 😊

[@judymiller5154]

only crate train before meals. wait an hour or more past mealtime, sit by the crate with his bowl, toss A kibble at the door, repeat, gradually tossing a bit farther in. You have to completely re-condition his bad attitude. Good luck ❤️

[@mariaalyakrinskaya5412]

Try a plastic dog crate with the top of first. Then add the top after she is comfortable. Takes a bit longer, but it works

[@chandanac891]

Give all his meals in the crate. Play there and throw some treats let him walk and out. Don't close till he settles, give alot of alot of treat. How is he now?

[@coloradospringsnative766]

I saw a puppy pull the towel thru the grate and get its jaw stuck in the shredded cloth, was ok because i was there but......maybe we dont do that part? love the rest though, keep it up.

[@sarahwbs]

We have a cardboard box cut to fit over our puppy's crate.

[@LS-mm5js]

In their other videos, they usually explicitly point out that you should place a board on top and then drape a towel over it so that there is enough distance between the crate and the towel, meaning the puppy can't reach. Maybe they forgot to mention that here.

[@robgarcia1631]

This approach might not work for a first time, lure without proper association so the dog gets it will yield anxious behavior. Puppy needs a consistent way to learn. Your videos seems all over the place. the overall concept seems in the right direction but it has to be consistent. Our dogs know us better than we think.

[@Roary19]

So my puppy goes in his crate. So at night I put him in, he is fine & lays down. But at like 5:30 in the morning he barks so loud! Anything you can help me with this?

[@nancyspeer]

Bathroom needs!

[@Rash2oush]

I hope I find a video for my puppy's habit he steals cat poop and spread litter all over the carpet.. I am tired

[@kat_i_mac]

Isn't that awfully small for that size dog?

[@ckee8437]

Definitely only to be used for sleep and short periods, it will be outgrown soon. Once the pup doesn't require constant supervision the crate isn't used much during waking hours and they certainly would need a bigger one for even sleep soon.

[@pjtrant]

That crate looks kinda small for her.

[@evelynrogers7145]

Crate looks to small

[@vhhomes251]

I think it’s Cruel for pups to be in such small cage .
