• One thing I’ve found helpful with crate training is routine and triggers. For example, I always put fresh water in the dog’s bowl before putting him the crate. He learns this really quickly and within a couple of weeks will go to his crate whenever topping up his water.

    One other thing. Don’t fuss the dog when he goes in. In the crate, close the door, good dog, quick reward/treat and leave him. Sounds harsh but it takes the drama out of it.

    *I use “he” because my last three have been males...
