Platinum puppy training academy lesson:

✨Early kennel (crate) training is important for puppies because it provides a safe, secure "den" space that leverages their natural instincts, which in turn facilitates potty training, prevents destructive behavior, and builds independence and confidence for various life situations.✨

✨Core Benefits of Early Crate Training✨
1️⃣Aids in Potty Training: Dogs have a natural instinct to keep their sleeping areas clean and will try to avoid soiling where they rest. A properly sized crate helps puppies learn to control their bladder and establish a consistent routine of eliminating outside, making housebreaking smoother and faster.
2️⃣Ensures Safety and Prevents Destruction: A crate offers a secure place to keep your puppy when they cannot be actively supervised, such as when you are working, sleeping, or running errands. This prevents them from getting into mischief, chewing on dangerous items (like electrical cords or furniture), or getting injured.
3️⃣Provides a Safe Haven: When introduced positively and never used for punishment, the crate becomes a personal, den-like space where the puppy can retreat to rest, relax, or decompress when feeling overwhelmed or stressed.
4️⃣Reduces Separation Anxiety: By teaching a puppy to be comfortable and secure in their crate alone, you foster independence and help prevent the development of separation anxiety and other fear-based behaviors later in life.
5️⃣Prepares for Future Situations: A well-crate-trained dog is less stressed during essential life events such as vet visits, grooming appointments, boarding, or travel by car or plane, as being confined in a crate will be a familiar experience rather than a traumatic one.
6️⃣Establishes Routine and Boundaries: Crate training, as part of a consistent daily schedule of feeding, play, and potty breaks, helps establish structure in a puppy's life, which they thrive on. This routine sets clear expectations for acceptable behavior within the home.

Our Skyfall x Maverick litter has all been reserved, but you can get on the upcoming list!!!
These 10 little cuties are sure to make their families so happy. 🩷🐾
Off to training they go! Only a few weeks until they will be at their forever homes♥️
This was their first car ride all together.
I've taken them one on one to get them used to being in a vehicle. Good news, none of them get car sick and all seems to be calm and relaxed after the shock of the cold as we were getting loaded up.
