Crate Train Your Dog
Crate training should start at puppy-hood, and when it was advisable to do so. They will learn to enter their crate and stay inside with the door closed, and wait for their pet parent to open the door. This will work out very well, and before long that they will go in by themselves for peace and quiet. Dog crates also referred to as dog kennels, come in different styles, 
colors, and sizes, and can be used to the pet parent’s advantage as well as the pet. They love to have a place of comfort to come and go as they want. Never use the dog crate to punish or to keep your dog out of the way. This is not what this is all about. Training your dog in using a crate is a useful tool if the pet parent is away. Training for this purpose is important in keeping your dog safe and helps to avoid getting into trouble.
Crate training should be done gradually, not push them inside, close the door, and leave. This will never work out to either one’s satisfaction. The door doesn’t have to be closed all the time that the pet in inside. Place a treat in the crate for them, or even set their food bowl inside. This should not be done all of the time, but to help your dog in knowing their crate is not a bad thing. Potty training by using the dog crate is really a wonderful idea, because they won’t go 
potty in their area of comfort. If you want your dog to sleep in their crate at night, close the door, give them a treat and open it up in the morning. Immediately take them outside to do their thing, and once they understand, you and your dog will be at ease and have a happy relationship. Be Happy!
