When you put he puppy in the crate for nap time do you leave or stay in the room?

Bringing home a new puppy next week. Just found this channel and love love love it! Keep up the great work. Thank you!
i have watched all the big puppy training videos abut you are just like a blessing! you say it so clearly and get straight to the point! it's amazing! i use your techniques and my puppy gets it immediately. vrs other trainers . i love your videos and your voice !
Information was amazing, bloopers at the end are the cherry! Thank you for sharing your knowledge .
Very informative thank you so much!! I would not have known so much of this and we definitely agree crate training is so important.
a crate was the first thing i bought. even before i started looking for a puppy. teaching a dog that its a safe space and wont be bothered is such a good skill to teach them.
I appreciate your thorough explanations
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I'm feeling so much more confident after watching your videos.
Love the way you convey the info, thanks ! We have a new puppy, utterly gorgeous, was pretty much house trained at 8 weeks, just one pee........she's working on the sleeping in the crate now, very stressful, but she's getting better 🙂
preparing to bring a new puppy home 8029. loved your videos so I purchased your 30 days training course. Thank you for so much good info!
Excellent video!! I have been panicking about crate training and leaving my puppy. I will be implementing the tips you provided beginning tomorrow!! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Great video!!!!!
I am getting my second dog after 10 years ..... and I am excited to bring him home next month! You are doing a fantastic job. Some products, as you mentioned, are not available in Canada, so I am making a massive list of stuff to buy when I visit the USA after the COVID19 situation.
I enjoy watching your videos. There are lot of "trainers" out there. You definitely know what you are talking about. I would also enjoy seeing more hands on. I think the visual kind of stick with people more that just hearing about it. Regardless, I am on the same page as you when it comes to training. Keep up the good work. I have had dogs my whole life. Just brining home a new puppy in December and I feel like I forgot everything. This is definitely a good refresher. Thank you
I just brought home an Australian Shepherd puppy named Maverick. He is now 7 weeks old. I've been doing a lot of things wrong! Thank you for this great information. I subscribed and will be following for more of your great content!
You are an awesome trainer; really appreciate your tips.
I just got a brand new puppy, I was feeling bad about how much time I was told he should spend in the crate. After a few accidents on my floor, I am now dedicated to crate training. Thank you for sharing this, I keep my crate in my dressing room because its super dark in there at night but where the crate is positioned, my pup can still see me.
So sorry we are just seeing this comment now. I apologize that we didn’t see it sooner. We hope all is well with you and your pup. Keep up the good work!
@@HowToTrainADreamDog I'm very pro crate but didn't realize how much I should be doing it when I'm here. I'm starting today with my 10 week old puppy who i've had for not quite 5 days beyond when I run an errand, night time and showers. we played outside and pottied and now she's whining in her crate but is starting to calm so hopefully helpful for when I leave to go outside the house.
Ever since i started watching these vids, my puppy is getting so much better at training. Thank you for the tips!
SAME!! but did she say a frozen filled kong ?? TIA
When you put he puppy in the crate for nap time do you leave or stay in the room?
U mean your getting better at training your puppy
Sue Im looking for an answer for this question what did u do😫
Liked and subscribed. I’ve watched numerous videos on YT and you my friend offer great advice and are on par with all the big trainer names.
Awesome, thank you!
Love these videos Michele!! No puppy yet but soon!!!
Great Job Thanks!
This video is very helpful when I have to go to work
Hi Michelle! Your speaking voice and the way you convey the information is spot on. Thank you for sticking to the information we are looking for and allowing us to stay in one place for positive and educational information. Great job!
You are so welcome!
Michelle, you are amazing.
Thank you for your kind words 🥰
Great Video! I use the crate for nighttime sleeping only at this point. He is 6 months and I keep the crate in the bedroom and this works well for us. For the last month or so I now use a pen during the day for when I am out or he just wants to go in it to nap. My question, which you answered, was how long I could leave him in the pen now when I am out. Thanks!
Fantastic vdo. Thank you.
Great video Michelle.
As I've seen other videos on this, but I like your straight forward way of explaining. We just got a 4 month old chocolate lab, and fortunately I'm able to work from home sometimes, so I'm trying to crate train her while working from home. I'm glad you mentioned not putting bedding or anything in there. We had a big blanket, but I removed it as she was chewing on it.
Kudos to you for taking these tips and applying them! Hang in there and keep up the amazing work! If you haven't already, do check out our course, 30 Days to Puppy Perfection:

Really needed to watch this. I'm away from home 6-7 hours a day but I'm lucky that I still live with my folks who telework right now. Would you recommend having them let out to pee and play and go right back to the crate? Or would you suggest that letting them in a play pen a bit before going back to the crate? I mentioned puppy gate and I got hit with such resistance from my folks that I'll depend on heavily until I can properly train and bring them out in public for service training
Very helpful training tips. Thank-you!
Glad it was helpful!
This will definitely help! I am getting my new baby corgi soon! Me and my sisters will be at school and parents a work!
Wow! You’re an excellent teacher. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, great videos. So glad I found you!! Currently crate training our 9-week-old puppy. Question though, is crate time during the day the same thing as nap time? So for example if we just did a 20-minute crate time session where I worked with her the barking and whining, only going in when she's calm etc and I let her out. Now that she's out she wants to take a nap. Should I put her back in the crate?
I enjoy these videos, I’m learning and getting confirmation that I’m on the right track. I have a 8 week old puppy and I just want to set her up for success to be the best doggie😍
Congrats! Here is our New Puppy Starter Kit to get you started off on the right paw! howtotrainadreamdog.com
Love love how you explain🙏🙏, will definitely try
We are so glad you found this helpful! Thanks for the feedback. Good luck!
Hey thank you so much I been fighting the kennel problems with my puppy for weeks now and your tip on the bedding and the pads and everything helped me so much she’s a complete 360 now she loves going in her kennel now and doesn’t use it in there at all thanks again
Woohoo! We are glad we could help. Stay tuned!
I put one of my extra pillows with a pillowcase in his crate and my 7 week old pup never chews it and he's the most mouthy little lab/dalmatian mix you'd ever met. He really does enjoy how cozy it is. He will try to crawl on my bed with the similar pillow if i remove it from his crate.
Thanks for going into details that many don't. I don't know why good dog raising education isn't very common. Getting a puppy in October, so this helps a lot.
We are so happy to help you! We've been updating our materials weekly so you might find this newer video helpful: th-cam.com/video/Vcl33se8dEA/w-d-xo.html

Great information!!! Thank you
We are so glad it was helpful! Stay tuned for more.
I’m getting a Cavapoo puppy in a month and I’ve been binge watching your videos because of how helpful they are! Thank you!
We are so happy you are tuning in!
Thanks for watching my crate training video for puppies! 🐾 Where will you keep your crate in your home? Do you cover your crate? What toy do you give your puppy when you leave?
I keep the crate on our main floor of our house. We sleep upstairs. I learned if I keep the crate close to my bed, I would feel like I need to check on my puppy ever time he whines.
Btw, I loved the blooper role at the end of the video!
@@nathanperry5173 haha thanks, I'm always making goofy mistakes as I record, I figured someone would get a kick out of them.
Thankyou for making this video
You're very welcome! We hope that you found it useful!
We are lucky to have extra space in our house. We get our newest addition today! She will be in an extended part of the house in a kitchenette with a patio door access to the potty area. We are excited and a bit nervous. Thanks for your videos, very helpful.
Congrats on the arrival of your new puppy!
what do you do when puppy cries in the crate cause they peed. this happened twice with my new pup.
I had 100% success following the advice in this video. I don't have the option of letting my puppy out in the middle of the day. He's in the cage for 10 hours on average but he's done so well and seems ok. i watch him on a camera to see how he's doing. So rest assured that it might work for your pup to do the same.
how did you deal with potty breaks since hes in cage for that long? I am thinking about getting a puppy but some days I wont be home for 8 hours
@@Rambunctious-Dinosaur He doesn't get potty breaks. he's in his crate with some toys and a little bit of food but no water. That's for like 10 hours. he hasn't Peed in his crate yet. I know he's holding it so that's probably not really optimal for his health to be holding it so long but I am just kind of keeping an eye on that aspect. but other than the potty breaks I just followed the advice on this video and it's working out great!
Yeah, 10 hrs of anyone person( human or animal) holding in fluids is not good. Even though the puppy is not drinking water your body is still making fluids and filtering fluids in your body to be expelled. That means a lot of built-up toxins in the body. Your puppy may get frequent Urinary tract infections or kidney problems.
You give me some hope. I work part time mornings, so including travel time I'll be away 5 hours. I cannot come home to let my puppy out, and every adult I know works as well. Still looking for the best possible solution while I'm away. Haven't gotten him yet, but he will be 8 weeks. Should've planned it out better😓
@@patrice942 we've been doin it mon-fri ever since i saw this video 7 months ago and have had no issues. just saw the vet too. i think he's fine. and he has a pretty active life outside of crate. i know it's not optimal but it's routine now. but my gf is moving in soon so that'll end the long hours anyway.
Where have you been!!! You are amazing! Thank you!
You're very welcome! Thanks so much for the love!
THANK YOU! Brought a puppy home yesterday and last night wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t good lol gonna try this!

I'm a hybrid employee, and only go into the office one week out the month. I've had a lot of anxiety about what to do during in office week, but I feel better now. I pick my baby up next week and I'm so excited!
We are so happy to help you! Be sure to plan ahead for that week and help your puppy be ready for it! Crate training and independence training will be important. Keep in mind that you might need a pet sitter the first few times you have to go into the office. This gets better with time and training!
We keep our puppy in the crate during the day when it is not play time or potty time. Great suggestion on using the board on top of the crate to prevent the sheet from hanging to close to the crate.
My puppy always likes to see what he can nibble on. The sheet is very tempting. Haha.
long ago before I was a trainer I had a super-naughty Lab that ate everything under the sun. He pulled in curtains, carpet, blankets etc.. and this was with the crate being in the middle of the room. Finally, I zip-tied a piece of plywood to the top and put the sheet on top. Worked like a charm.
Even when working from home I can`t imagine my life without crates. And they are a must-have to take with you when you are traveling with the dog. Otherwise, we would pay double or triple the price of staying in the hotel 😜 We usually use the pieces of crates just to build the wall and mark his territory of movement.
Very helpful for my new Boston terrier coming home in June!
I'm getting a goldendoodle in July!
* Chxrrybun * oh! Very exciting!
I just got a Boston terrier also. I've been bringing her to work
ja snookybb Yay!
I just got an eight week old puppy yesterday! When e u getting yours
Love it!!! Awesome Job!! This is going to help me a great deal when I get my Ridgeback pup!!
can you move the crate around? Should it stay in one place all the time?
I got my puppy a couple weeks ago and I use a playpen for mine since I work 8 hours a day. I would recommend.
A playpen is a great place for your pup to rest when you are home. If the pup is completely unsupervised though, the safest place for them is in their crate.
Especially if you do not have anyone that can come every few hours to let them out of a crate to go potty.
@@HowToTrainADreamDog I've been looking for an answer to this. I requested to join your Facebook group also! Love your advice. I will be gone 5 hours a day total for work (including travel time). I'm getting an 8 week old Morkie next week. Should I place the crate within a playpen or can he really be confined to the crate while I'm gone? I plan to play, feed and take him out to potty before work. Sorry if the question is redundant.
We got a golden retriever and he is not trained but u helped us a lot thanks 😊
We are happy to help!
All of your videos have been so helpful to me in the last week of getting my puppy. I've been so stressed that I've been doing everything wrong, so hearing your advice and affirmations of things I've been trying to do is so nice and helpful.
I had wanted to ask if you had advice about if there's an appropriate time to check on a puppy if they're doing more than just whining, like howling or shrieking. I worry he's panicking or it'll cause him to become more anxious.
His crate is in the living room since we spend lots of time there. We tried having him in the bedroom but knowing we were close by and he couldn't be with us made it worse. Should I just ignore him and let him tucker himself out at night even when he sounds like he's being possessed?
Thanks for all your hard work, your videos are amazing.
We're so glad you love our videos and have found them helpful! For more specific questions regarding training, we recommend you post your questions in the Puppy Training with Michele Lennon Facebook group: howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group
Just love the puppy and respond to his cries. He misses his mother and family. Give him love, hugs and lots good food. Never leave a puppy crying. It's very cruel and if he was with his mother he wouldn't be crying. Listen to your heart first.
I work from home and keep my puppy crate between his breaks and potty and clear out a couple chunks of time for play and walk. He does very well when I bring the crate to my office and I'm slowly acclimating him to crating in another room. He already can go all night with no crying or accidents. I'm so proud of him!
This is awesome news! Sounds like you've done a great job with crate training!!
I was super worried i had messed up because he slept in bed for the first week because I was just so tired and he was crying a lot losing his littler mates but i popped him in after watching some of your videos and it took a couple nights of him crying every few hours but he's bounced back and sleeps even better in there. He seems a lot more rested and less grumpy(he's a beagle and very much hates waking up) in the mornings too! a huge plus.
Wow, I was doing everything wrong. From now on things will be different. Thank you.

Do you have a video for bringing home a second puppy to a home?
Great video! Subbed
Thank you for checking out the video!
Thanks for this, lavender is on, calming music, I popped a kong in the crate which she followed, closed the door and she did the dog equivalent of shrugging her shoulders and fell asleep again. 😂
Wonderful! Kudos to you! We'd love if you shared a photo in our Puppy Training with Michele Lennon Facebook group: howtotrainadreamdog.com/FB-group
Using your sample puppy schedule, during "crate time", is the puppy supposed to be in the crate entire time (i.e. 1pm-3pm)? or is it just however long he wants to be in there as I know you state that we want him to love the crate...
This was such a comfort and relief for us to hear! Thank you so much! Best dog video we've seen about this topic! ❤❤❤
We are happy to help you! We have another one about working while owning a puppy that might help you too: th-cam.com/video/Vcl33se8dEA/w-d-xo.html
Could you do a video on teaching an older dog (that sleeps in crate at night) to be happy in his crate in the day (in order for humans to be able to go out for a couple hours a day!)
i put a toy in there...throughout the day and i keep the door open so she can access it. my dog caught on quick...she doesnt. bark whine nothing...only when she hears me slam my truck door...also you want to practice going in and out... closing the door and locking and walking in and out the door as well.. .she is a Jack Russell Beagle mixed...she probably smells the tires...lol
Our crate is located in our spare bedroom actually the dogs bedroom. I think the only thing you missed was to not leave a collar on your puppy especially a choker type while crating. I love this video
You're exactly right! Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching!
Great video,my sister is trying to crate train her new puppy, will definitely share!
Awesome, how old is her puppy?
How To Train A Dream Dog He’s about 5 months! She’s been using your techniques! She’s successfully crate trained him . Thanks to you!
@@KayKaySmithMedia Awesome, love to hear this kind of news!!
I will be picking up a 9 week old rednose pitbull soon so what about using a towel for some comfort in his kennel . I will be using a dog kennel ( like for on planes ) that is full sized but has half of it blocked off should be just enough to allow him to turn around ( but can be adjusted ) and will just be used for sleeping in my room ( his castle ) later on . He will be in a playpen setup in the house when not feeding , training , playing or letting out for potty and I have a baby gate to put him in the kitchen when I need to clean up in the playpen . Any other suggestions ?
You mentioned no bedding or pads in the crate. I am using a carrier rather than wire crate so without a pad or some kind, I would be cleaning out the crate often. We have a 7.5 week old puppy.
Can you put them in a playpen attached to a crate to give them more space
This Video is great! Unfortunately i clicked on the free puppy starter kit and the videos do not work it says server ip can not be found ?
Hi Michelle, thanks a lot for the information. Really helpful. It seems that the rule is: when you are not at home or you are not interacting with the puppy, it should be in its crate. Is this correct? At what age can dogs walk freely in a confined area of the house? Or should a dog ALWAYS be crated when there is no interaction? This seems a bit harsh.
Puppies should be in a crate when you are not home so your puppy doesn't chew or destroy something in your absence. Pups can play in in a puppy pen or a gated room that has been puppy proofed or stay tethered to you when you are home. Interaction is crucial so that you can build a strong bond together. Playtime and training time together is a must!
Thank you for this video! We put the crate in the kitchen. We use a pen in our bedroom at night. But I'm starting to second guess and think maybe I should put the crate in our bedroom. The thing is that up there is not somewhere I am very often during the day...
We have another video specifically on crate location if you'd like some ideas on how to make this decision: th-cam.com/video/f9OaXIxdXJQ/w-d-xo.html
How would you recommend handling potty training with a puppy who comes from a foster home that uses potty pads?
Any tips on an Italian greyhound puppy? Would the no bedding work for them as they love to cuddle and get cold easily?
It's best to keep all bedding and soft things out of the crate for safety. You can make sure that the temperature of the room is comfortable for them, and the crate cover also keeps in their body heat!
I have a new puppy coming in soon and would you say it would be okay to have it sleeping near me but with a blanket on it?
I see a lot of information about crating. However, we have put our name down on a waiting list for 2021 to get a puppy. The breeder has asked that we NEVER crate or use a playpen on the puppy. Luckily this is achievable in our house as we can block off safe areas in our house while we are at work and our house is fully tile. But I would be interested in your thoughts.
Nice job, we have one in bedroom,, one in living roomoo
Thanks for watching! We're glad this video was helpful.
Hoe long do u recommend to leave them in on each time
My pup has been untrained by my gf and her family and I’ve pretty much checked every box I’m just watching this as a recap to reassure myself. (Slow improvements.)

Hi Michelle our playpen is quite big for a young puppy and he sleeps in our formal living room which is close to our bedroom
the playpen is for playing during the day when the puppy is awake and supervised. The crate is for naps and any unsupervised time.
What do I do whenever my puppy refuses to eat his food in the crate? He sleeps great at night and is very quiet and good, but he goes nuts any other time he is in the crate. He cries for hours even if someone is in the room with him. What do I do? I want to be able to eat or leave him in the crate so I can work. Please help
I am fostering a new puppy, I am crate training him when I am at home but I feel really uneasy leaving him in the crate for 8 hours straight. I am still potty training him...so I am leaving the crate open, I leave toys around, water and I he has a bed and he has the garage to himself now. He is learning to hold his pee until I come home and he's learning to poop outside, he has had accidents inside but I can't expect him to not, he's just 4 months old.
Hi Michelle, what would you say to those who think a play pen is enough for puppies and that it can be used to limit their space and keep them safe, making a crate useless?
The one hour per month rule of thumb is very helpful!
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
Hi from the UK 🇬🇧 please help as I can’t find the answer. I have a Chi puppy that’s 9 weeks old. Obviously I seen you don’t put a blanket or anything chewable in the crate but my concern is body heat for the pup as we are not the warmest country in the world! . Does the same still apply or should I be doing anything else ? Thanks
I remember about 12 years ago there was a crate called the “potty training puppy apartment.” It used a bed on one side and a puppy pad on the other side. A lot of people liked the crate for potty training.
But why do you say dogs shouldn’t use the bathroom in their crate?
We don't recommend that product. We recommend teaching your puppy to go potty outside. This free kit can help you if you need it! www.howtotrainadreamdog.com
I'm not taking care of one puppy I'm taking care of a Millions dogs and puppies because I have my own job and actually I'm the girl that you see in the middle and between the little girl and the boy I'm that girl and I'm 9 years old and I can't believe that I already have a job and I love watching you videos to let me know how to do all the stuff thank you for all of you
I'm getting a 9 week old puppy and I'll only be able to spend 1 or 2 weeks with him before I have to go away for school stuff. He would be home by himself for about 6 hours a day, except weekends. My mom gets home before I do and she thinks that he should be fine without anyone coming here. I really dont want him to get anxiety for being at home for a long time.
Thank you for your concise advice! I will put it in our utility room by the back door. I might start out in the attached garage though... because... yelping.
Can we put blankets in the crate? If not will they get cold?
My puppy will whin at bed time she love her crate at day but a night but he whin and doent sleep once we didn't let him out he didn't stop whining for the whole night .We moved his crate in to the kitchen and he barked all night and I can hear him from upstairs then he started chewing on the plastic crate that had a blanket over it and came running upstairs and slept on me we didn't know what to do because the was a whole in the crate the crate was the right side I think he have bad anxiety or something can u help
What should I do if I do not have anyone to come and let my puppy out during the day while Im at work?
I don't have a crate but I have gates is it ok if I leave puppy pads in then?
Oh you have seen the activity around at my house.
I can imagine with a puppy in the house there's some Zoomie time, sleepy time, and snuggle time too!
We will be getting our 7 week Boykin Spaniel next Saturday. We have an older Boykin (10 y.o) at home. We have a crate but I have a bed in it. I will definitely get the "cushion-bed" out tomorrow. She will be at home with Peedee (our 10 y.o.) Boykin, while she is in the crate. I would love a video or advice about how to feed the dogs, when they have the same schedule: 1 in the am and 1 in the evening. Where do I place their bowls.... water.. etc..
Congrats! These are great questions. When bringing a new puppy or dog into a home with other dogs, there will definitely be a period of adjustment. It will be important to allow each dog to have their own space at the beginning, and perhaps for all time. This will depend on the personalities of the dogs.
For even more great advice and support, consider enrolling in the online course at the pro level. You’ll be able to ask unlimited questions or share videos of behaviors that you find puzzling or training that could use some fine tuning. And you can participate on zoom calls where you can get all your puppy questions answered by certified trainers!

Here because I’m adopting a cattle dog puppy in a week... Wish me luck! 😂 💕
Had two. Good luck. 😂😂
Rashad HIll I am so scared. Lol
Oh Lordy..me too..i'm scared 😅
Question. If I dont put bedding.. wont he have to sleep on the hard floor of the crate? That seems uncomfortable?
Does a crate cover work?
I was wondering if you had any advice for what to do if the puppy does go to the bathroom in its crate. We are bringing puppy home soon and I am worried about being perfect with a routine; if I make a mistake and the puppy uses the crate is it the end of the world? Or do I just clean it and keep going (is it really that simple)? Thank you for all of your help and information; your videos make me feel a little less terrified.
It certainly is not the end of the world! Accidents happen and it will take a bit to nail down the routine that works best for you and your pup.
