Cashmere's Crate Games video got cut short - storage space is always an issue because I take so many pictures and videos over the weeks of puppy rearing. 😬 You will have to take my word for it that she eagerly played along, sitting in the crate well, and even deciding she wasn't going to leave it. I had to pull her out to take her back upstairs after the training session. 😆
Cotton is going to be renamed Blanket! I can't wait to introduce you to his new family. Blanket did so good despite some really noisy distractions upstairs during the first half of the video.
Denim rocked his crate game.
Silk's Crate Games. He worked for 8+ minutes so at times I sped this up since Facebook won't let me upload a video that long.
At the end of the video where it's hard to hear, I was explaining that I give several treats before opening the door to encourage him to stay in place, and click and reward waiting inside, and then releasing on cue/giving permission to leave. This builds impulse control. :)
Linen Crate Games. He gets an A+. This was actually Linen's second training session. He needed some extra motivation to enter the crate willingly so earlier today we did a lot of throwing a toy right through the crate so that he could play in it like a tunnel and gain confidence before closing the door for this training session.
Velvet Crate Game. We did this training session after she ate supper when she wasn't tired. I will try again when she's hungrier and more tired to set her up for more success. Sometimes when splitting your time between 8 puppies, atleast a few puppies aren't having their training session done at the most optimal time for them.
