Crate Training

• consistency, consistency, consistency
• keep the puppy in the crate at all times, even for feeding. She'll likely cry in the first few days, but then settle down.
• put a blanket around the top of the crate, to give it more of a 'cave' feel for your puppy.

• Scheduling - be consistent - stick to a schedule, and over time, the dog will become conditioned to the schedule.
• before a walk, have a sip of water
• after a walk, have some play time, and then back in the crate with praise
