Here's a simple question, have you ever wanted to just leave everything and have some quiet time alone? Even better, what if your boss obliged you to take a short vacation to get away from all the stress? If you answered no, you are probably one of those professional chocolate taste testers - but for most of us, the answer is a resounding yes. Dogs are no different. They seek out dens to hide out in when they feel threatened and vulnerable. In the wild, it would be easy enough to go about doing this; but in the jungle called domestic home life, they wouldn't know where to start. Being a loving master means having enough responsibility to see them utilize methods that nurture and protect them. This article gives you effective puppy training tips on how to best crate train your dog. For some people, crate training a puppy may seem cruel and useless, but it is actually a very natural and helpful form of canine training. Dogs do not like staying and sleeping on a place he has already soiled. A housebroken, crate trained puppy will keep his urge to eliminate until he is let out of his crate. After spending time inside the crate, immediately bring him outside to go potty. For this reason, it is important that the enclosure is small enough to have no space for both a sleeping area and a toilet center for the dog. Place the crate in a room with a lot of people. Don't push the puppy inside-- allow him to enter the crate himself. Put in some interesting things and toys. Let him feel comfortable inside the box and feed him there. This should be your dog's personal haven from the stress so make crate training an enjoyable and pleasant experience for him. Never use it to punish him. Now the puppy is already accustomed to being inside the crate, close the enclosure for a few minutes at a time. Make sure he hears you and knows you are still in the room. If he gets upset for no pressing reason, do not let him out until he quiets down. If you do, he will use crying to get what he wants in the future. When the puppy is not panicking with being enclosed in the crate, leave the room for several minutes at a time. With his favorite toys and treats inside with him, he should be feeling comfortable and able to keep himself amused even without you being there constantly. You can leave him inside his crate but never for more than four hours at a time. Puppies have not fully mastered their bowel movements and having to eliminate in his space will upset him. Follow these puppy training tips and you will regain a certain freedom most pet owners have forgotten about. A disciplined dog brought up in this method will be easier to schedule for sleeping and potty breaks. Not only that, an actual vacation will be possible now that you can leave your puppy for longer periods of time inside his little nook. After crate training a puppy successfully, you will wonder how you ever managed otherwise. About the Author: Geraldine Dimarco enjoys the advantages of effectively crate training a puppy.
