Crate Training Your Dog with a Dog Crate or Dog Cage
Crate training is an excellent tool for dog owners, and many dog owners have made use of this technique to improve the quality of both their lives and the lives of their dogs. The last thing any dog owner wants is to come home from work only to find that their dog has defecated on the couch or chewed up their favourite pair of shoes. This is where crate training with a dog cage or dog crate comes in.
The speed and efficiency of crate training differs greatly from one dog to the next. Some dogs are extremely easy to crate train while some are extraordinarily difficult to crate train. The universal rule to remember is that dogs should always associate their dog cage or dog crate with pleasant things, and that dog owners should take crate training one step at a time.
The first thing to do is to acquaint your dog with its crate. Dog owners can do this by placing their dog crate or dog cage in an area of the house that their dog is usually comfortable in, such as the living room or kitchen. Line the inside of the dog crate or dog cage with soft towels or cushions. Then set your dog down near the crate and attempt to coax it into the crate. You might find that you need to make use of some treats or toys in order to get your dog to enter the crate.
Then you need to get your dog used to the idea of eating its meals in the crate. If your dog refuses to go into its crate to eat, start by placing its food near the crate, then gradually moving it further and further into the crate. While your dog is eating in the crate, you can close the door behind it, then open it when your dog finishes its meal. Then, you can start to leave the door closed for longer periods of time after your dog has finished eating.
Once your dog is comfortable in its dog crate or dog cage for up to half an hour after eating, it is time for their owners to start leaving them alone in their crates. Simply move away to another part of the house after placing your dog in its crate, staying out of its sight. If you find that your dog is whining or crying when you place it in its crate and move away, you should wait until the whining or crying is over before you let your dog out of its crate. Otherwise, it might learn that whining or crying is an effective way to get you to let it out of its crate.
With proper crate training, you will be much more at ease leaving your dog at home, as you will be able to keep it secure inside its dog cage or dog crate.

would you recommend putting a dog crate into a bedroom for a puppy?
we are getting a laborador puppy soon and from previous experience with dogs, do not want the howling at night... so do you think a crate in our bedroom would settle a new puppy?
Am getting my first puppy in June so have been researching this a lot. I will be leaving him in the crate in the kitchen and ignoring his cries. When he settles down I will go in and let him out for the toilet then return him to bed. No fuss or attention through the night. I will be sleeping on the sofa (luckily its very comfortable) for the first few days so I can hear him and deal with his needs. Must admit am not looking forward to it but it needs doing.
I wouldnt recommend having him in the bedroom as it would be a hard habit to break. Start as you mean to go on I say!
