Crate Training. Is crate training like putting your dog in jail or will it help eliminate his behavior problems or housetrain a puppy? Find out what I learned about crate training a puppy...
Well, I had heard that using a crate would help me with housetraining my new puppy, but I had no idea how to do it or what size crate to buy...
It so happens that I've been listening for over ten years to a radio talk show called "Talkin' Animals with Dr. Dog" on KFMB760 in San Diego. I'd always been intrigued by the techniques shared by "Dr. Dog" (Dr. Dennis Fetko). He seemed to really know how to get into a dog's head!
One day Dr. Fetko announced on his radio show that he had published an ebook, Dr. Dog's FAST, EASY, FUN Behavior Solutions with all of his methods for eliminating dog behavior problems and housetraining a puppy. Needless to say, I purchased his ebook right away. Here is some info from this ebook:
"To humans, a crate is a cage and a cage is jail and none of that is any good whatsoever. To a dog, a well-socialized crate is a den and canines have been living in dens for, oh, roughly a million years now--give or take a week. To a dog a den is WONDERFUL! (After you crate train your dog) You've just got to convince little Balthazar that this square fiberglass and metal contraption is indeed a den. That's why I said a well-socialized crate--after successful dog crate training.
But don't just get a crate, throw your dog into it and go away for the day. That may stress an already upset dog enough to cause him to begin chewing himself. I've seen dogs chew their own paws to the bone out of stress and fear.
Used properly by crate training your puppy or adult dog, a crate is a great gift to the dog. Used badly it's as cruel a form of punishment as beating. Remember, a crate is used to prevent the problem; it is never used to punish your dog."
Learn more about Dr. Fetko ("Dr. Dog") and his methods on crate training your dog or crate training your puppy.
Quotes from Dr. Dennis Fetko, "Dr. Dog":
"In dog training, 'jerk' is a noun and not a verb. If anyone has to jerk a dog to train him, he should not be allowed near anything with a pulse."
"Obedience training is great--but it won't solve behavior problems. If you obedience-train a dog that bites, you end up with a dog that Sits, Stays, Heels--and bites..."
Book Reviews on Dr. Dog's ebook: "The book your dog wants you to read!"
Your Current Experience with Crate Training your Dog or Puppy
What Size Crate is Best for Crate Training My Dog?
Crate Size is Crucial to Successful Dog Crate Training!
Crate Training: Large crates are not better.Here's a tip about the size of the crate to use in crate training puppies or dogs: the smaller the better. Your dog should just about fill his crate. You're not doing Genghis a favor by getting him a crate the size of your garage. See the example in the photo near the top of this page...
On the contrary, the larger the crate, the less security it represents to the dog. Do this crate training your dog or puppy right with the right-sized crate and proper crate socialization and you'll never run out of ways to use your dog's crate to his best advantage. You'll also wonder how anyone gets along without a crate for their dog!

Great lense. I wrote a short dog crate training manual which sells for only $7. It's called Crate Training Made Easy. It's an easy read and a great resource for someone looking to get started with crate training.

Really enjoyed your lens.
Tyson will go to his crate at home, even on his own, However, when we Puppy-sat him last weekend, He never went to the crate unless told. Then he barked, whined, cried, scratched, chewed and made all of us miserable.
In fact our weekend was so eventful I am writing an article titled Oh Vey I Have a Grand-Puppy! Adventures with Tyson the Grand-puppy. It is about my weekend puppy sitting my grand-puppy.
After reading your site I signed up for the free e-book and had my daughter do the same.
I will lens roll you as well.
