<p>The foremost thing to do is try to make the puppy familiar with the crate and make it even more inviting by putting its bed inside as well as toys and other objects that the puppy is familiar with, one other good idea is usually to reward the dog for going in the crate and also for staying inside, to start with for short intervals and always leave the doorway open. You should use the crate while playing with the dog and also while feeding so they will associate it with fun and satisfying things, doing this can help the dog feel less scared or stressed with the experience of remaining locked up, eventually whenever they get used to it they&#8217;re going to be competent to remain in the crate for extended periods of time and also sleep in the crate without a problem.

It is also essential during crate training to have a quiet and relaxed atmosphere, your puppy will find it easier to adapt and feel safe and secure without having to be pressured to do something and they will accept the crate much easier.</p>
<p>It is necessary for the crate to be a comfortable place for the puppy, so make sure you put a sheet or bed inside that will stimulate them to lie down and rest so they can associate it with comfort, also put the dogs water and food container inside to allow them to really get the feeling that it&#8217;s their very own little area, this ought to help them feel less separated. Ensure that they also have toys or other items to chew on inside the crate, this should persuade them to only chew on those things only while in the dog crate, this should help to prevent them chewing on furniture, shoes or any other thing which they discover.</p>
<p>When your dog is used to going in and out of the crate, it&#8217;s time to teach them to stay inside for a little longer. Start by placing a few doggie snacks inside, and close the door until they have finished eating after which let them out once again, this will keep them busy and they also won&#8217;t be concerned about the door being shut. Following that gradually extend the amount of time you leave your puppy, and let them get accustomed to being left alone while in his crate, eventually to about at least an hour.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting a new puppy is just the beginning of all the fun to come. There will be a few frustrating days intermingled with the over abundance of excellent ones, so don&#8217;t let these get you down. Training a new puppy takes time, patience, and consistency. Having a daily routine is the best way to get started with training, as well as remaining focused on the type of training at hand. It will be easiest for both of you if you start with one task at a time, instead of throwing a bunch of new commands his way. The following are some very basic puppy training tips.</p>
<p>Housebreaking: Some people are able to keep an eye on their puppy all day long, to make sure that he doesn&#8217;t make a mess in the house. This takes some careful watching for certain signs.</p>
<p>This generally means he is searching for a place to go to the bathroom. As soon as the pup looks like he is looking for a good spot to relieve himself, pick him up and take him outside. Remain outside until he does his business and praise him after he is finished.</p>
<p>People who use this method watch for signs of bathroom searching and immediately take the pup outside. As soon as his nose goes to the ground, you might only have a few seconds before he starts to leave a puddle.</p>
<p>Dogs don&#8217;t usually make a mess where they sleep, so this area should be relatively safe from being used as a bathroom facility. Taking the puppy out of the crate every hour to go to the bathroom outside is often very effective. It&#8217;s a good idea to not leave him in the crate for longer than two hours at a time. Once he&#8217;s done his business outside, then he can romp around the house for a bit before he is placed back in the kennel.</p>
<p>Chewing: Puppies enjoy trying out their new teeth on a number of items, they don&#8217;t necessarily know the difference between their toys and your shoes. This may take some time for him to figure out. Having a variety of toys placed around the house will make this type of training easier. If you catch the pup chewing on something he isn&#8217;t supposed to be chewing, then tell him no as you take it away from him. Be sure to give him one of his own toys after you&#8217;ve taken the other item away.</p>
<p>You will need to replace this item with a toy of his own, so he knows that chewing is okay, but only on his toys. For new puppy teeth, having a clean sock with crushed ice in it is a great chew toy. This can be kept in the freezer when not in use and provided when there seems to be an excessive amount of chewing going on.</p>
<p>The key to having these puppy training tips be successful is by being consistent with each process. Getting frustrated and giving up will only confuse your puppy. There is a lot of work involved in the beginning with letting him know what all the rules are, but once he has them down, he will be a very well-behaved little pup.</p>
