I crate trained my border collie and he loves it. He's 2 and he will go in and out of his crate by himself and chill out or sleep. He has free reign of the house...but thats because he earned that right because i trust him. ❤ and your videos helped me establish that trust relationship early!!

[@sheridan1887]

How long did it take? I have a 10 week old Samoyed. Just got him a week ago. He has had several accidents in the crate.

[@juliamagnusson8670]

​@@sheridan1887make sure to take him out every hour + after every play session, training session and after naps. You should soon learn his pattern which will help minimize the risk of accidents

I’m about to bring home my GSP puppy and your videos have put me at ease so much. To hear that it’s only 4 hours out of your day to help your dog adjust to life in your home is such a relief. My current dog is 14 and she’s very bright. I feel so equipped to care for and raise this puppy now that I have your help. I’ve never raised a puppy before but it sounds a lot like what I currently do with my dog but I’ve already trained her in all these behaviours.

[@user-tr1tw9ud2r]

My border collie pooch is now 7 months old. With the help of your videos, i now have a wonderful companion. I now trust her completely, haven't used the crate much in a few months. She still will sometimes go into her crate voluntarily. i have a great relationship with her, but continue to practice her recalls and other commands, tricks etc daily. Thank you for all of your videos, they have been so helpful and have helped me raise and train my puppy. Also, she seems to get her teenage phases a few weeks earlier than usual, she had her first at 3 months and her second one at 6 months, both i worked through within a few weeks and now am thankful that the big ones are over (hopefully) and hope i won't run into any more phases. She will be 8 months soon. I have one question, at what age can u consider most dogs trained;? A year old? or three years? Thank you for all your help)

[@Switch_Gaming01]

So AMAZING I was able to be there during the filming of this vid! loved it

[@jaymoar3561]

I completely agree with the pros, dogs are not people they are den animals and they need to learn to be crated when they are puppies.

[@bildungsroman2012]

Omg letting my dog sleep in the crate all the time was actually not crate training. I’m slowly getting in control of my time after watching this video. Thank you for the life-saving tip ❤ thank you, thank you 😂🙌🙌

Nice sharing my friend beautiful places and dog 🐕

[@thomaswilke6312]

Very informative living room discussion. You should have done it over a few beers and munchies

[@heatherweber4403]

We used the crate in the beginning until we trusted her enough to be left out on her own with the other dogs. We started with 30 min then to an hour and so on. Now she only uses the crate when she’s eating out of habit. :)

[@user-st5my4qm4b]

This is such great information. I have a 10 month old GoldenDoodle. Is it too late to start using the crate more as you said?

[@catcart16]

Do you recommend a house leash for small breed dogs? If so, do you have the house leash attached to a harness and does the harness stay on the small dog at all times?

[@sunnybayliss3221]

Crate time is the best!!! My almost 5 month old Boxer puppy loves her crate time! It's enabled us to take her camping and to travel with her this summer without the stress and worry My sister has had with her non-crate 7 month old Aussie. The Aussie was insane at camping, and could have gotten lost a couple of times. Miss Boxer had the time of her life, but was safe and learned even more manners.

[@countryliving4890]

I need help getting a color or harness for my mom’s nature Yorkie, I get mixed messages about this. They say don’t get a collar because you can hurt their neck. And then harness is not good either . Ugh please help McCann

[@Unplanned_Dog_Training]

If my Girl is out of her crate for 4hours and I am not planning on crating her after that she will start to walk to it nose it and become very restless until I open that door. She is 4 years old and this has been her habit for 3 and a half years. I would love to give her like more free time but she will not have it. Her crate is like her must have after 4 hours of being out.

[@noth9617]

My 14 year old border collie goes to her crate and opens the door with her own hand hahahaha

[@stephanie3231]

Are all you videos relate to every breed? I have a dachshund nearly 11 weeks old, and really struggling at night with the crate, but also in the day I cannot move from her

[@DallasTX_1122]

Same here. It has truly tested my patience 😢

[@l.a.w.79]

I got my new puppy non February. He was born December 1 and came home with me on February 18. I already have a 14 year old Yorkie. My new puppy eats poop!! His and my older dog!!! How do I stop this!!!!

[@countryliving4890]

Can you use a playpen as crate. I have a 2 story house. Crate is upstairs and playpen downstairs.

[@DallasTX_1122]

This is a good question I also need answers as I do this. My two month old would have nothing at all to do with the crate. All he did was cry and cry.

[@markmccord381]

plastic or wire crates for puppy?

[@carlapatron9378]

But what do I do when my puppy won’t stop crying and/or barking when in the crate?? I have tried the “quiet!” And once he stops, rewarding that behavior with positive reinforcement and it works but only for 30 mins tops 😢😢

[@DallasTX_1122]

I have the exact same issue with my two month old. It has truly tested my patience.

[@user-bg4rv7zj2m]

I just read this right after posting mine! I’m currently going through the same thing!

What age is too old to crate train your puppy?

[@DissStaaf]

Its illegal here in Sweden to putt your dog in a crate. I am confused.

[@cptwentworth]

I love McCann Dogs ideas, but implementing them for us is another thing. I have a 3-month-old Golden Retriever who BARKS INCESSANTLY. No matter what I do, all your ideas, he hates the crate. He can't even hear me say ah-ah, or clap, or rattle the crate because of the barking. I am completely at a loss for this little guy. He has made the whole house in turmoil and my husband actually want to return him. I know puppies are supposed to sleep 16 to 20 hours a day, I'm lucky if mine sleeps for nine, and six of those hours are at night. He is vet checked and fine. Lord have mercy on us.

[@ShreyVyapari]

Hang in there, I’m at 5 months and I remember how incredibly challenging 3 months is, my puppy did the same thing however it is possible to implement these techniques and eventually they will not bark as much - but it’s not easy

[@dprince2885]

We will be picking up a puppy in a few weeks, we have a crate to use and will be using it for the drive home also. Any tips on how to make the journey less stressful for puppy, as we don't want to scare her on the drive home and make crate training more difficult.

[@kucumalac]

My dog is one year old, he has a crate but he just use it to sleep at night and when he needs a time out. Can I start putting him in for long hours and let him out only when I can focus on him? Or now that he's older it's not a good idea?

[@francisrodriguez3648]

He is at the age to hold his bladder for longer so, you should be able to have him in the crate for longer when needed. Ensure his needs are met before going in to avoid any issues.

[@JuanRodriguez-tp7nk]

Hi there! I adopted a new pup, and this is actually my first time having and taking care of a dog, so I have a few questions regarding his attitude. My puppy is 14 weeks old and he is a really distracted one. I've had him for 2 weeks, but he does not seem interested in any kind of food or treat that I have to offer, so I'm not sure what can I do to "bribe" him to do stuff. Ever since the first day when I presented him with a treat, he never showed any kind of interest. Not even in the food he was being fed with (just in case he does eat regularly, is just that once he has he cup, he does not like to anymore). So is there any tip to motivate him? Also, is really hard for me to get someone to take care of him when I'm not home, so sometimes I leave him alone for a few hours, which I know is not right. Still i would like to confirm if it would be better to leave him on his crate or leave him a big space for him to roam free (i live in an apartment). I know I don't have the best conditions for him, but any tip will be appreciated 🙏 Also, when should I start walking and bathing him? I'm been told to wait for him to get all his vaccinations before I can walk him or bath him (I've been walking with him while carrying so that he can familiarize with the outside).

Works great if you are around the house all day ...every couple of hours but when everyone is working 7-8 hours a day it doesnt work

[@linedezainde]

Sorry but no. Pets are not toys and they don't deserve to be caged, ever. We had dogs all my life and the best training is to spend time with your dog. Works perfectly well, but it does require time and patience. Otherwise there are cats.

[@aylap.2573]

Hope your pets never have to be crated for the vet, an emergency, recovery, groom trip, vet trip, ECT. Not only do many pet business have to crate for safety (Protects Dogs from fighting of they chewed off or slipped a tether, or choking themselves) in emergencies like wildfires or flooding you will need to crate your Dog for safety both its own, and others. If you do not train your Dog to be content in small or enclosed spaces, your setting your Dog for stress and failure. Because eventually they will end up in one. You don't have to keep them in constantly, but you need to get them used to it.

[@cjdflkj]

Another person who doesn’t understand crate training at all. This is temporary with quality time interspersed while the dog is a baby. Babies sleep most of the day, baby dogs do, it’s safer in the crate when not watched.

[@lanalovegood7211]

You’re not a dog trainer

[@Grav1n]

I'm shocked that you still crate your dogs. It's animal cruelty and ILLEGAL in many countries including Sweden and Finland. Imagine holding your puppy 20h in a small crate, my god!

[@cjdflkj]

It’s not illegal in Sweden and Finland to leave puppies in crates. It’s illegal to leave them in a crate for extended periods of time with no intermittent supervision and reprieves. The laws there were written to enable courts to prosecute puppy mills easier, no one walks around looking for dogs in crates. Animal cruelty…lol. List the studies that show crate training used as these people say is cruel. We will then go through those studies together to determine whether your opinion is accurate.

[@Grav1n]

@@cjdflkjThe law says in finland and sweden that if the dog is not sick or travelling there should be atleast 2x2 meters of living space. So again, leaving them in smaller areas are concidered animal cruelty. Leaving dogs to crates are good for the human and bad for the dog. Don't get a dog if you can't supervise him with aduquate space. You can find bunch of studies just google lol. USA is such a backwash country in politics and animal rights

[@cjdflkj]

@@Grav1nlol link the studies, if you can’t link them, list them. Are you mentally deficient? No one advocates the dog stay in here for life. It’s while they are puppies in training, you know, while they sleep nearly 20 hours per day. During their waking hours these trainers advocate for non stop attention and training. You can’t list a study because you are repeating bs blindly. Also, I just read Sweden’s government site, the act was repealed in 2018 😂😂😂 A 2x2 space, you mean the size of a xlarge dog crate, haha.

[@cjdflkj]

@@Grav1ncome on, link the studies, Markus…or are you one of those who pretends to know something and when called out can’t dish out 😂

[@Grav1n]
