Rules of the Crate

by Emma Kesler, CDBC, CPDT-KA
0 0
2
  • The crate should always be out and available, with the door open.
  • NEVER use for punishment, or “time out.”
  • Do not lock the dog in the crate when exciting/scary things are going on, such as vacuuming, or when a guest arrives.
  • Always shut the door slowly and visibly, and do not rush or trick the dog.
  • Provide your dogs with safe things to eat/chew when you are crate training. See my article about Food Stuffable Toys.
  • Do not bother the dog when in the crate. The crate is their space. Ask family members not to put their hands in the crate.
  • Never forcibly put the dog in the crate, never forcibly remove the dog from crate.
  • If your dog is whimpering do not leave him to “work it out.” If your dog is barking or reacting in the crate, he needs help. If your dog has separation anxiety, it is not caused by not using a crate, using a crate, etc, and crates can be torture for dogs with separation anxiety. Consult with a professional.

    Hello Emma , been reading your articles , such amazing information, thank you for sharing. I recently lost my 14 year old welshie Mateo and now we have found a beautiful welshie girl but we will bring her home until February , so I got a doubt on when is it ok to close the crate , only during transportation?

      Hi Lliana! I like to keep it open in your puppy’s area during the day, and closed at night or during transport. 🙂 I do immersive puppy foundations programs too, if you want a deeper dive. Congratulations on your soon-to-be new family member!

This is for all of the wild dogs out there, for the people who love them, and for those who want get to know them. You've come to the right place. 🐶
