Here's What Our Crate Training Program Offers

Welcome to our Crate Training Program, where we specialize in helping dogs of all ages become comfortable and content in their crates. Crate training is a valuable tool for providing dogs with a safe and secure space of their own, whether at home or on the go. Our program focuses on positive reinforcement techniques and gradual acclimatization to make crate time a positive experience for your furry friend.

Here’s what our Crate Training Program offers:

Customized Training Plan: We begin with a completely Free Crate Training Lesson. In this lesson we will be conducting an assessment of your dog’s behavior, temperament, and environment. Based on this evaluation, we develop a personalized training plan tailored to meet your pup’s unique needs.

Introduction to the Crate: We start by introducing your dog to their crate in a gentle and positive manner. This includes making the crate inviting with soft bedding, toys, and treats to encourage exploration and create positive associations.

Positive Association: Through the use of treats, praise, and rewards, we help your dog associate the crate with positive experiences. This helps alleviate any anxiety or apprehension they may have and fosters a sense of security and comfort within the crate.

Gradual Enclosure: We guide you through the process of gradually acclimating your dog to spending time in the crate with the door closed. Starting with short intervals and gradually increasing the duration, we help your dog become comfortable with being confined in the crate without feeling anxious or distressed.

Desensitization to Departures: Many dogs experience anxiety when their owners leave the house, leading to undesirable behaviors such as whining or destructive chewing. Our program includes desensitization exercises to help your dog feel more relaxed and secure when left alone in their crate.

Management and Supervision: We provide guidance on appropriate crate usage, including when and how to use the crate for various situations such as meal times, bedtime, and when traveling. We also emphasize the importance of proper supervision and ensuring that your dog’s needs for exercise, mental stimulation, and bathroom breaks are met.

Guaranteed Results, Continuous Support and Guidance: With our Results Guarantee we promise to reach the goals that you set forth at the start of the crate training program and we will provide unlimited lessons until those goals are reached. Our commitment to your success doesn’t end with the lessons. We also provide unlimited ongoing phone and email support, to address any challenges or refine skills over the lifetime of your puppy.

With our Crate Training Program, you’ll not only teach your dog to love their crate but also provide them with a safe and secure space they can call their own. Whether used for house training, travel, or providing a quiet retreat, crate training can enhance your dog’s well-being and strengthen the bond between you and your furry companion.
