I’ve always wanted to learn how to crate train my puppy but sadly, many puppy crate training tips and info that I received are pretty crappy. Here, I’m going to share with you 5 vital tips to make your crate training a success so please, read on.

Heh. You know something, I once discovered an online article (many years ago), telling me that crate training is best utilized as a means to punish your dog or puppy for committing bad behavior.

I was like in the, “huh? What in the name of Anubis is this person jabbering about? Did this person drink coffee mixed with highly potent crack when writing this piece?

Ok, IMO, the crate is such highly valuable tool because it helps you train your puppy in a highly effective manner. By employing the right tips and tactics, you can get some good training results pretty quickly.

Indeed this is not a tool for dishing out punishment. When I crate train my puppy, my aim is to:

• Confine my puppies briefly in an environment that is safe and secure.

• Make my puppies understand the house boundaries and rules that I’ve laid out.

•  Present myself as the Alpha member of the pack. Dogs are pack animals after all, so it’s best that you show them who the boss is ASAP. The younger, the better.

• Develop a strong training foundation early on so that in the future, I can train my puppies on the other matters such as obedience commands, tricks etc with less hassle.

Now, with that out of the way, let’s look at the 5 puppy crate training tips” that you should know about right this minute.

Ignoring the tips presented in this article may result in a dire outcome in regards to your dog’s behavior. So beware and let’s go over...

The 5 Super Important Puppy Crate Training Tips

1. Location, location, location

This is the fundamental rule of real estate and it also applies to crate training a puppy too. Once you have your puppy in he’s crate, be sure to place the crate in the appropriate location in your house.

Appropriate? Where exactly would that be?

Okay, try placing the crate somewhere in the house where your puppy can have a good look at the folks in your home as well as his surroundings.

This is to ensure that your puppy feels comfortable seeing that his owners are around and he’s not locked up and placed at some dark corner of the house where he can’t see a thing.

It’ll take some time for a puppy to get use to his crate (some puppies take a liking immediately though). In the meantime, you want to make your puppy feel as comfy as possible while he learns to cozy up in his brand new, personal den.

So to accomplish this, you have to put the crate somewhere where he can actually see and smell his owners and the house.

When I first learn how to crate train my puppy, I set the crate in a spot facing the kitchen. A pretty good spot imo.

My puppy gets to view family members and smell all sorts of yummy aroma from the kitchen!

2. Size matters

You want to get a crate that leaves him enough of room to stretch, stand and move around a bit. However, don’t get a crate that is big enough for him to roam around as this may induce house breaking habit.

You want your puppy to regard the crate as a small private den for him to chill and nap.

And as long as you don’t keep your puppy confine in it for too long, he’ll learn quickly that the crate is not a place to do his potty business – which brings me to tip #3
