All God's Creatures

So, we've all had problems crate training from time to time I'm sure, but if you follow a few simple steps it can be done!


1st - Place crate(s) in desired area, for this is the area you want your dog to feel comfortable



2nd - Place blankets and bedding into the crate, if you have bedding left over you can place it on top of the crate for later use.



3rd - Leave the crate door open so that your dog can get used to the crate, do not try to force the crate onto your dog, you want this to be a positive experience, and dogs being den animals should take to the crate naturally with given time.



4th - Let the dog be, and come to check every now and then to see if any progress is being made ...

 ... and voilà!
