    I have this solid rubber ball. Everytime my dog poops or pee in the house it would get that ball thrown at it but if it do its business outside it get rewarded. After 2 weeks I guess it got the message :)

    Oh thanks! She likes it alot better since I put the last comment on :) she was on a plane for 5 hours and didn’t complain once, she was just happily playing with her toys :D

    youre making it feel trapped and associating the crate with punishment. you need to teach her that its her room not a jail :) take a toy and rile her up for a second, then throw the toy in the cage and close the door before she gets in and she will be clawing to get it. and that will show her that its okay to go in there, its not a bad place

    Actually, i never crate trained my dog (standard poodle) And he always goes outside. i think crate training isn’t the best way to potty train your puppy because the poor thing is stuck in a cage the whole day! what i did, is i attached a bell to my garden door, and i trained him to touch the bell to his nose when he has to go outside (to pee), so then i know when he has to go. 2 wks later, i got rid of the bell, and now he just waits by the door when he has to pee. Try it! it really works!!

    u have to make the puppy like the crate. then u should make the puppy go in da crate when its time for itz bed time. keep da door open on the crate for the first few days. put the crate in your bedroom. DONT PUT DA CRATE IN THE KITCHEN

    if you noticed that your dog runs out after picking up the toy, you might want to consider using string to hold it in the crate. once you practice this for a while, it will start to enjoy it and when she goes into her crate you can give her treats or hide some treats in her crate so that she’ll have some fun finding them and also know where is good and where is bad.

  11. DeathSnoop says:

    well there is a way to make them enjoy it, all you have to do is find a toy with a hollow middle and put treats or food that yuor puppy/ dog likes to eat.
    then let her sniff it but before she bites it, quickly pick up the toy and throw it in her crate, once she is in , dont EVER close the door until you have practise this for a while.

    My dog hates her crate, she barks and barks when she’s in it.

    i think if you put them in a room in their crate, then they are not set up to fail. we left newspapers out and the pup would use them if they need. if you bring a young pup into your bedroom, they are gonna chew and pee, which is setting them up to fail which is not good. also putting them in their crate teaches them that you are the owner and that they are not dominant over you. i no you already got your pup. but i hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!

  14. lenalena111 says:

    you know, i really do think it is all difference of opinion. we have had tons of dogs, mostly golden retrievers. we have a small room (laundry room) off our kitchen. it is very close to the bedroom. while the pup was learning not to chew or pee, she was kept in there. they whine the 1st few nights, but they learn that they do not always get there way. then after 2 or 3 weeks, the pup was allowed to sleep in the bedroom with the other dog. i am happy to say we have great, friendly, obediant dogs

  15. namiest says:

    No. You shouldn’t do that at all! You should keep the dog in your bedroom while you sleep, or maybe outside your bedroom, with your bedroom door open.
