Step 1️⃣: Prepare the 🏠
Set up a cozy space for your 🐶 using a crate 🚪. Make it comfy with soft bedding 🛌 and some toys 🎾 to keep them entertained.
Step 2️⃣: Introduce the crate 📦
Let your 🐕 explore the crate without closing the door. Encourage them with treats 🍖 and praise 🎉. Show them it’s a safe and fun place to be.
Step 3️⃣: Mealtime in the crate 🍽️
Start feeding your 🐾 pal their delicious meals 🍗 inside the crate. This helps them associate the crate with positive experiences and yummy food 🤤.
Step 4️⃣: Close the door 🚪
Once your 🐶 is comfortable eating inside the crate, start closing the door while they eat. Open it again when they finish. Gradually increase the time with the door closed ⏲️.
Step 5️⃣: Stay calm and leave the room 🚶♂️
Practice leaving the room for short periods while your 🐕 is in the crate. Start with a few seconds and gradually increase the time. Remember to stay calm and avoid making a fuss when you leave or return 🙌.
Step 6️⃣: Crate time with fun activities 🎉
Give your 🐾 buddy special toys or puzzles 🧩 to play with only in the crate. This way, they’ll look forward to their crate time as it becomes a fun and engaging experience.
Step 7️⃣: Extend crate time ⏰
Increase the duration your 🐶 spends in the crate, especially during quiet times like naptime or bedtime. Make sure to balance crate time with playtime and exercise 🥏.
Step 8️⃣: Gradual freedom 🆓
Once your 🐕 is comfortable and relaxed in the crate, start leaving the door open when you’re home. Allow them to come and go as they please, gradually giving them more freedom around the house.
Step 9️⃣: No forcing, only positive reinforcement 🙅♂️
Remember, crate training should be a positive experience for your 🐾 friend. Never force them into the crate or use it as a form of punishment. Always reward good behavior with treats, belly rubs, and lots
