yes, if you introduce the dog to the crate properly. don't just shove it in there and leave it alone.
Crate training is often the best way to train a dog. I do not see ant flaws in it.
No, it is not too late to crate train any dog at 6 months. The puppy will feel safe and comfortable if given a crate as its own personal "den."
The best way to crate train a dog is practice and consistency. You want to start out by doing a little bit each day and gradually building up time. Do not get frustrated because the dog will sense it. Start out slow and be persistent.
Yes, dog cages are allowed on a plane and train. They are allowed because the crate protects the dog from any harm and it doesn't let the dog escape and run freely.
by training the dog to like the cat :)
Crating is when you train your dog to go in his kennel or crate that actually simulates a den in the wild and acts as their "own space" for rest and protection.
Make sure the crate is not too big and that there are no absorbent materials in it at first. Make sure the dog is not left in the crate longer than he can hold it. Give the dog plenty of opportunity to go outside before going into crate. Be on a set schedule.In the first place why is your dog in a crate? You should train your dog from a pup (they usually are partially trained by their mother) by feeding the puppy and know that 15 - 20 minutes later the pup needs to go outside to do their business and you go out with them. I also train my dogs on newspaper (in case of emergencies or my husband and I will be a little later than usual getting home and I don't like my dogs to have to hold in their urine or bowel movements.) Get the dog out of the crate! If you don't know how to train your dog then get a trainer to help you. It's not good psychologically for a dog to be left in any crate when they are adults. You are the head of the pack so start acting like it and start working with your dog to train it.Answer: Dog having Accidents Every dayHe may have a bladder problem or not properly house trained.
Try not keeping the dog in a crate! They get bored, that's probably why it has resorted to destruction. : : : I am home with my dog all day....winter time, so going out alot less, therefore he is crated alot less...now that I have been going out, this is the behavior I am getting. He is 5 months old, good dog. Not sure if this is teenage issue, separation issue, or maybe I just need to re-crate train or get a bigger crate. He loved his crate early on - hanging out in it all the time. Not so much lately
A dog crate as I understand it is for transportation and the the kennel is for housing/protection
Well, you can't really train your dog fast. It takes time to train a dog. You can go to a local animal shelter, and get a video that is free. That help me so much. It trains your dog how to crate train, sit, come to you and to also do all sorts of tricks. Sorry but i forgot the name of it. It talks about dogs health and other things you need to know.
making the crate a punishment may confuse the dog because the crate is supposed to be a secure place for the dog a place a dog can go to sleep or just be alone.
Feed the puppy in her crate. Many times during the day, put the puppy in her crate with a food-filled toy. Let her out of the crate fairly soon when she's quiet and calm. Keep the crate near you at first so she doesn't think she's been abandoned. Put the crate beside your bed at night. Gradually over a couple of weeks, move the crate out of your bedroom and into the room where you want her to sleep.
