Press Release Summary = The concept behind crate training is that a dog naturally
strives to avoid soiling the area where it eats and sleeps. By placing the dog in
the crate, this instinct is enhanced. The dog will come to see the crate as its
den, and it will try to avoid soiling its den.



Press Release Body = Crate training is one of the most effective ways of house
training any puppy or dog. Crate training is very efficient, and very effective,
since it uses the natural instinct of the dog to achieve the desired result of a
clean house and a well trained dog.



The concept behind crate training is that a dog naturally strives to avoid soiling
the area where it eats and sleeps. By placing the dog in the crate, this instinct
is enhanced. The dog will come to see the crate as its den, and it will try to
avoid soiling its den.



The key to successful crate training for a puppy or an older dog, as with other
forms of dog training, is to establish a good routine. This routine will enhance
the ability of the dog to do its business in the right place, and avoid eliminating
in the wrong place. It is important to shower the dog with praise each and every
time it eliminates in the established toilet area, and not to express frustration or
anger when the dog makes a mistake.



It is important to confine the dog or puppy to a small part of the house, generally
one puppy proofed room, when the master is not at home. The room should contain a
soft bed, fresh water and some favorite toys to prevent the dog from becoming bored
and frustrated.



Crate training is different from confining the dog to one room, however. With crate
training, the puppy or dog is confined to a crate when unsupervised. The idea is
that the dog will think of this crate as its home, and not want to soil is home.



When crate training, it is important to remove the dog from the crate as soon as
possible after returning home, and to take the dog promptly to the previously
established toilet area. When the dog does its business in this toilet area, be
sure to provide lots of praise and treats. It is important that the dog learn to
associate proper toilet procedures with good things like treats and toys.



It is important to never leave the dog in its crate for long periods of time, as
this will confuse the dog and force it to soil its sleeping area. The crate is
simply a tool, and it should not be abused by leaving the dog in it for extended
periods of time. If the dog is left in the crate for too long, it could set back
the training program by weeks if not months.
