Hiya, can you please share what cookies are you using for her treats? THank you
God yes. Lol
I can't believe content like this is free. Great videos
They have 7.3k likes, 439k views, they're getting paid. Lol
@@julesj5853 Right, but I’m not paying for it lol so what’s your point
@@marceloparodi_ when you like and subscribe, you're helping them get paid for it. Lol
@@julesj5853 BUT ITS STILL FREE FOR ME lol you’re not saying anything I don’t already know
@@marceloparodi_ He's just speculating that these people aren't doing this for free. Yes, the videos help, but thats the point of building a TH-cam channel.
For everyone saying “what if my pup isn’t motivated by treats?” You train them while they’re hungry. Don’t feed them till it’s training time (so train in the morning before breakfast). Make your pup work for the food.
Unless your dog eats home made food. You could feed half the food, or two thirds and give them treats then finish their meal after the training session.
Still unmotivated even when hungry. It's like... she kinda prefers being lazy and stubborn over food. I feel like between getting an awesome treat and demonstrating to me that she isn't gonna obey, she willingly chooses the latter as a more attractive option..
@@gumifox definitely work with a dog trainer at that point! Some will even come to your home and teach you how to train your dog.
@@gumifox apparently they have stuff that makes dogs feel hungrier than usual. You could try that. It would likely motivate them more.
@@gumifox you can still use something else than food as a reward (conditioning him by petting him real good and telling him good boy)
I've been watching your videos for about a month before getting my puppy. Tonight is my first night for crate. I used the tap on the crate, saying quiet and then immediately praising good quiet.
I counted. It only took 8 times of that. It is now peace and quiet in the crate 6 weeks old!
Thank you so much! I hope you read this!
Glad to hear that, Brandon! Happy Training!
When you tap on crate n say quiet, was the pup locked in crate or outside?
@@JT-zb2km inside
How sad... he is an infant...separated from his mother too early (8 wks old should be the absolute EARLIEST to be separated from the mom) , and is now relegated to a cage. He is 'quiet', because he is probably frightened/in despair/feels powerless. Why would anyone get a puppy at 6 wks old before he has finished being weaned from his mother?! :/ Its basic cruelty, all around.
Funny thing is, when it's time to get my new puppy out of my crate I have to reach in and get him. He likes his crate so much that he takes himself in there. I did not crate train him. He trained himself.
You’re so lucky. After 2 months I’m still struggling
Yeah, our dog really liked her "box", she chose to go in there as a place to relax away from people, but tbh we wouldn't close the door on her at any time other than absolutely necessary (travelling in the car etc) so it was a place that just felt like her wee space
Sounds like your puppy has autism
Autistic puppies are super cute. They train themselves in their crate they are just not very smart besides that lol
Maybe he just doesn’t like you and prefers a crate
I would like to see this with a puppy that has never done crate training.
@@miguelalmeida5516 their demo dogs are properly trained to at least stay in there.
@@OscarHanzely have u really watched the video? They used a dog that has had no crate training...
And I tried this with my aunt's 11 months old puppy, that has no crate training, and it worked...
@@OscarHanzely not true. Anything more difficult he used a trained dog that hasn’t been “crate trained” lol
Just got my puppy last week and we put him in there whenever he was tired. Wired crate plus a bed and then during the day do the treat trick to get him used to going in. Once he got used to sleeping in there for nap time we left it open.
tried it with my 2 months puppy, it works amazingly well:D
i load treats into my pups crate as i get ready for bed, i usually find her sitting outside the crste waiting to be let in, i put them in back too. From day one she’s always been required to hold for release out of the crate, and at the door and gate, so important to have them managing their impulse control. She’s improving on greeting visitors, my visitors cooperate by not touching her until she’s calm. Thanks for all your videos, so helpful and encouraging.
I am half through the video, following step by step with my 3 months old puppy, the door of the crate is fully opened and she chooses to stay inside. If I could I would post a picture as I’m so proud of her ❤
Mine would do that but when I close the door, cries
My dog loves her crate. She will snack in her crate. If you give her a treat, she runs to her crate. The crate door is open all day, she goes in and out voluntarily. At night, all we have to do is telle her time for bed, she goes in her crate and we shut the door and put a towel over the crate. She is only 4 months and this is her routine. Leaving the door open all day is good. When I go shop, i give her a treat and she goes to her crate. I will then shut the door and tell her she must stay and guard. I am trying to teach her that when the crate is really no longer needed she will just go in, door open and rest and relax until Mummy comes back home. In the morning we open the door and she takes her time coming out, she is very relaxed and loves her
Hello Micheline how are you doing today
I’m so happy these videos are public and free. I think a big problem for owners who don’t have trained dogs isn’t just time but having no money. They may be training a lot but doing it wrong and can’t get help because they can’t afford it.
Can’t afford a pet then don’t get one
It is always nice to see the examples but it is always with very well trained dog. Great to see what you do in the beginning
i dont comment much on youtube videos but you guys are great, thanks for all your videos
Thank you for these tips 👍👍👍
This was incredibly helpful. Many of these tips I have heard, but the way you put the info together really helped me understand why my pup is so restless in his crate.
thank you very much for all your videos they are great. I really believe in your ways of dog training and I use them on a daily basis , cant thank you enough
Such a wealth of information. Thank you for all that you both do!
This comment should have more likes. I agree with you.
So helpful thank you !
My puppy Kobi that I got yesterday got quite upset when it was crate time last night but I immediately started seeing a difference!
Good ideas! Thanks!
Wauw thank you! I just got a puppy a few days ago and I only put him in his crate when I'm going to sleep! I will make it feel like it's crate is a safe space to be in. I am going train him tomorrow or after tomorrow! Thank you again!
Im new to this puppy thing lol…i adore you guys! Your vids are amazing. Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
my new puppy loves the crate, loves dragging her toys and blankets in there to play with. completely uninterested in treats so its a blessing she likes the crate
I work night shift so I’m trying to get her on my schedule with the crate. Three days in and the barking has become less however still going for the first hour and a half but I will definitely try some of these tips!
Thank you for this info. I’ll write it down!
This is very helpful. Our 8-week puppy refuses to go into the crate after 3 days crate training, even with high value treat
Thanks for another very helpful video
You’re welcome, Marti! Thanks for watching ~Ken
Thank you. I'm in training.
Hello McCann thanks for this superb tips
I have two Llasa puppies and I have them both in the same crate and this seem a little uncomfortable for me. Do you have any advice for me on how to go about it. Should I get a different crate or divide it for the two of them
You guys are awesome, outstanding crate training, you're so logical and explain it so it makes sense. Now i can correct my mistakes in crate training, so grateful for your videos.
Hello Maria how are you doing today
We’ve always used a puppy area, I’ve raised Jack Russells, one of the more difficult breeds, but now have Italian Greyhonds, which they have their challenges too. Great information.
I have xoloitzcuintlis and cocker spaniels.. the xolo is more stubborn funny enough
Thank you!
Our girl loves her crate/ den/ safe space. The door hasn`t been pushed too or closed since she was 8 months old, shes 4 in January. Although it takes up so much space, we couldn`t take it away from her. She has the run of the home and garden but loves her crate. If anyone has doubts about getting one. Watch and learn and dont think of it or use prison.
I love these videos, thank you so much!
Hello Elise how are you doing today
Helpful advice, thanks for this great video.
Hello Melly how are you doing today
That poodle is gorgeous
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I started feeding my puppy (Newfoundland/Pyrenees mix named Wilbur who is SO CUTE if I do say so myself) in his crate and dropping the kibble in like Kayl suggested and he is doing so much better! He slept through the night the past two nights and I can't thank you enough.
Wilbur is going to be a bigggg boy🥰🥰🥰
@@hi8942 he turned a year old last month and he was 113lbs at his vet visit! He has a lot of growing to do and he is the absolute sweetest pup in the world. I’m training him for therapy! 🥰
I just got this same mix, he’s 7 weeks old, any tips?
This was super helpful advice and got straight to the important parts of puppy training!
thats what she said ☺️
amazing video - so informative!
Hello Kei how are you doing today
I crate trained my all my puppies alone with baby gates. I have not had to use them for my newest who is only 1 in a very long time. This video was a reminder of methods to utilize. Along with great tips for continued success should I require them. Thank you so much 💖
Hello Maggie how are you doing today
Thank you so much! Рахмет! Спасибо!
Worked like a charm!! 🙏🏻
Hello Lliana how are you doing today
I pick up my border collie x koolie puppy Jasper in four days, I’m super excited! These tips are awesome! I used to never like the idea of crate training but now I think it’s such an amazing thing that your dog could have. Thankyou for all the videos they are super helpful!
You shouldn’t put your dog in a crate ! Dreadful !
@@angelapopham3221 Im confused about the crate the only thing I can see as useful is that if they are small and can get into things or for puppy training only but not anything else. What if your dog needs to protect your home and hes locked inside.
@@jesseenixon2893I know it’s been 2years since you asked, but I’d like to offer an answer. Crate training is specifically used to get your puppy in a structured routine of toilet/obedience training while giving them a space of their own they feel relaxed and safe in. Once they have learnt the rules and behave appropriately inside the house, they can have more freedom until eventually the door gets left open and they choose to go in and out themselves.
Love your videos!!!! Thank you so much!
Hello Kasey how are you doing today
Helpful! Thanks.
Great points
Hello Sharon how are you doing today
I was trying to crate train according to a schedule I found. the hour after he gets up for two hours, then another hour+ of play/train and back in for naps for another two hours, then play for a couple and one more time before bed. I think that's a decent schedule? But he's a door dasher and I tried that controlled gate opening "game" and he's getting it! nearly immediately! What sort of witchcraft is that?! He's a good young man who tries his best, still things I'm a chew toy, but he's only just about 8 weeks old. I've been binging your videos before I got him, and now when he's in the crate and I can have that precious two hours of peace to work.
THANK YOU!
Hello Karen how are you doing today
Maybe this could be an idea for another video?... How do I best prepare my puppy for being comfortable driving in the car and flying? Thanks!
Flying with a dog is really cruel i feel
@@drwrencho4392 what's the more humane alternative? A boat? Giving them away?
@@destituteanddecadent9106 i mean, you got a dog knowing it depends on you and trusts you, if your gonna go on a selfish trip then its probably best you leave the dog with a family member or a friend but sending that dog in a crate through the airport sorting system and into cargo is messed up in my opinion. I would never put my puppo through that, personally. If you're moving its a different story still awful the dog has to go through it. As for the car most dogs frikken LOVE car rides lol
@@drwrencho4392 I agree with you on the vacation bit, unless they're small enough that you get to take them in the cabin.
I'm sure it's different if you live on a continent, but I live on a pretty remote island so if I have to move elsewhere for work, planes are pretty much my only option.
I guess different lives different perspectives on transport.
@@destituteanddecadent9106 yeah your right i live in Canada its a massive country lol and my pup is a lab so shes gonna be big so I'm looking at it through a different lense for sure
Great tips to help with our 10 week old French bulldog
Can I ask did it help I’ve had a french bulldog for a week now and he struggling to go in his crate voluntarily
Louis Patel I’m having the same issue. My 10 week old French bulldog puppy won’t go in voluntarily
Appreciate your video content
These videos are so incredibly helpful. I'm getting a puppy soon and can't wait to put them into practice, they're helping me feel a little more confident. Thank you so much!!!
Hello Jennifer how are you doing today
Thank you for this content! We have a puppy who is a door dasher, to the extent that he is not motivated by treats in a situation like this (getting out the door has higher value than the treat). Suggestions for what to do in this circumstance? Just verbal "Yes" reward?
Been watching your videos for years and finally get to use the knowledge! We are picking up our puppy in two weeks!
Hello Taylar how are you doing today
Thanks!
I finally get my puppy tomorrow! 3 weeks of watching you guys and I feel ready
Good luck! I'm getting mine in 2 1/2 weeks!
Congratulations! And Happy Training! ~Ken
I got mine 2 weeks ago
Unless you’ve had a puppy before, you are never ready for a puppy.
Chris Bing Yep, just learned the hard way lol watched at least a 100+ videos before getting my puppy. 3 weeks in now and I still don’t know what I’m doing 😅
This is a great channel, it's amazing i had the most well behaved pit bull without Knowing any of this, he was just smart i guess.
Our new pup goes in his crate by himself but sleeping in there more than an hour, no way! :) He always lies wide, be it on his side or back, and I think he really doesn't get to stretch his legs. At night he only sleeps one hour in there but next to our bed (tied to a leash) he sleeps more than seven hours. He is bred to protect sheep at night in the mountains so we took this into consideration.
learning to love better!
Great information! I am going to be an awesome puppy owner after this!
Hello Pat how are you doing today
Fantastic advice as always. We've been practicing this from some of your previous videos. It totally works & very quickly, my pups go into their crates & eagerly wait their treat. Many thanks.
So happy to hear that, Lindy Lou! Thanks for watching ~Ken

@@McCannDogs Ken, please tell me how to perform crate training with a puppy that is not food motivated? Like AT ALL? She's a border collie, 9 weeks. I tried many different snacks, have 2 kinds of kongs and she's just not interested. I tried throwing snacks to the crate, she does not care. I give her a kong with snacks - she licks it 3 - 4 times and leaves it. So I tried putting some toys to the crate - ok, she goes inside, bot momentally wants to leave. I then give her snacks, but they just lay in the crate and she does not eat them.. And she does not feel rewarded.
Shezzeck I have the exact problem! My puppy is not food motivated at all! I don’t know how to even start training him 😵
Nice work
Awesome content thank you
Hello Elizabeth how are you doing today
I lost my girl (Pom-a-Poo) after 16 years. She LOVED her kennel. My kids would lock the kennel door so she couldn't get in there. I had to explain that her kennel was like her personal space and to never lock her out if it. We always kept the door opened until bedtime or when we went out. I was thankful she never minded being locked in at night. If an emergency happened we'd know exactly where she was.
Hello Teri how are you doing today
Would live to see your crate training for older rescue dogs.
Hello Kathryn how are you doing today
This is incredible advice - I tried it for 3 minutes and it honestly worked! Thank you so much!
At 9:37 when he said “be proactive,” I immediately thought of the “be, be, proactive” cheer. And then the words appeared on the screen and I had a good laugh!
Hi. Love the tips. I have a dachshund that cannot see. And we are using an open DIY crate in a pen. Have problems getting her to want to stay in there. Any suggestions? Throwing treats is difficult as she has trouble finding them and confuses her more.
Good video!
Good stuff...
Crate training started off great with my puppy and now it seems we have regressed
Absolutely same
Lol
Same
Sammeeee
Positive reenforcement! I notice that the rewards are little dog treats of some kind. What type of treat or brand do you use.
My dogs love their crates, I leave the door open all the time, they even don’t mind when I shut the crate doors, they look at it as their safe place and their own space 🥰

Hello Donna how are you doing today
THX
Awesome video
This was a great reminder, my pup was great in the crate when I was repeating this training regularly but as we were having success I stopped. He has since started barking if he thinks something fun is happening and he wants to join in. I need to start value-adding to the crate again. He is still great overnight and doesn't make a noise until morning when he needs to toilet. I have a blanket over his wire crate as he gets visually overstimulated easily.
Gla should found the video helpful, Rose! Thanks for watching ~Ken
Hello Rose how are you doing today
These are great videos, I especially love the idea of "creating value" for the dog when it comes to the behavior you're wanting. And showing examples and the idea that the reward comes from inside the box, so smart, but I never would have thought of that, and now I have a better understanding how how to fuse the behavior you want with their brains reward system. Genius. Come to think of it, my wife did that to me years ago and I just didn't know it until now.
Sense of humor is awesome
Great video
Hello Lorenzo how are you doing today
Thanks for your great videos! I really love them! I will get a poodlel toy mini in the next weeks and I am preparing myseld with your videos :)) and our appartment. What size you recommend me for his crate? Many greetings from Spain!
Hello Barbara how are you doing today
Reading these comments I feel so lucky, started crate training my 4 month old puppy yesterday and he slept in it all night last night for the first time, didn’t whine or cry once 😅
I've watched so many of your videos and I love them all. What I would so appreciate is knowing how old the puppy is that you're working with. It's hard to determine the age and if my 8 week / 9 week old puppy is ready for certain types of training so It would be GREATLY appreciated if you added a comment about the age. Thank you, Lisa
Hello Lisa how are you doing today
id like to see a series on bring home a new puppy and how to get through the bark scream howling 👀 it’s so difficult
The barking and howling is killing me😞has me considering rehoming
Lord i really thought i was ready, but that first week and the howls are ROUGH
Literally going through it rn 😭
Thank you for all your videos I have used them all to help with training all my foster dogs😊😊
How to add value to the "ok" command. And when is it to be used? When satisfied with behaviour? Meaning after praising?
"Ok" or "free" is a release command. It's when you don't require their attention or stay position they are in. It's not a praise command. "Yes" or "Good" are foten used for praise to mark good behavior.
Today's my 12 week old German shepherd puppy's first night in a crate. She whined a few times but nothing crazy and is settled now. I spent a lot of time working on having her in there today. With treats and praise I hope I'm able to rest easy and not worry about her for a little aha mama more stressed than she is.
Hi, what kind of treats are you using?
Couple more questions do you use crate on their first ride home? If they are in the crate at home and your wanting to let them out but they are barking do you stand there and wait for them to be quiet or do you hide out of site then come into view when they get quiet?
Is it best to have a water dish in the crate from the beginning with a new puppy? I’m new to your site and getting a puppy 3 weeks from now. Thank you for such helpful videos!!
Wondering their opinion too. Some say yes some say no
Loving your videos...so what do you do with your puppy BEFORE they are trained to love their crate? Do you not use a crate when you first bring them home, and wait until they are happy to be in there?
Yes, that's what we did. Our pup was 8 weeks when we got him. He missed his mommy and litter mates and the crate was traumatizing for him at only 8weeks to be left all alone in it. We allowed him to sleep with us in bed for the first 2 weeks. After that we put in crate for short periods of time for about a week. Then at approximately 3 weeks he started sleeping in it with no issues. He has NEVER pee or poop in crate either
I adopted a puppy a couple days ago and today she bit into her bed and ripped. Is there any way to help this. Also is video was helpful I will try to make sure she likes her crate more.
When my puppy gets tired around the same time every night he goes into his crate by himself to sleep lol
I swear I have the easiest puppy ever to train. He just strolled in his crate today and laid down. I've had him 2 days, he goes potty EVERY time he goes outside. He went all night lastnight without having an accident and only got a little fussy. (I implemented the technique you demonstrated in another video of tapping the crate, interrupting the behavior and firmly saying no, then praise when he settled down.) Didn't have an issue after that. And he stays out of his crate all day, but I have a gated off room and am with him all day. This way it is very easy to see when he needs to go outside. Unfortunately, the first kind of treats gave him diarrhea and he's not interested in eating kibble bits when I first started training sessions. He just takes it from me and puts it on the ground. Lol So I'm at a loss right now (until I find the right treat). I want him to learn his name first and foremost, but I don't have anything to reward him with other than praise right now. Any suggestions? I want to avoid playing roulette with dog treats. Lol
My puppy is a slow eater and isn't very motivated by her kibble either. I started soaking her food in warm water for a while and used her meal time to train her (hand feeding a bit of the soaked kibble as a reward). This way she eats more and we get our training in! Hope this helps but I can't promise anything, as all pups are different!
Lol it’s just the second day. How’s it go over time
My puppy loves his crate. I open the crate and he doesn’t want to leave 🐶 He loves to relax in his crate
Hi Thanks for the video, I'm wondering how long the puppy should be allowed to be out of the crate if I'm around. I can't find an answer to this.
So literally, just feed your dog treats whenever you want them to do something.... got it!
Well yeah, basically. Dogs are motivated by food. And in the absence of food fall back on routines that have been conditioned. Why not use that fact to their and your own benefit.
That and keep saying “yes” or the command you want associated with that behavior and eventually your treats will be forgotten
The treats are very tiny it’s not like a whole dog cookie.
Pretty much! 😂 Training in a nutshell
Ok I have to say it would be nice for you to ACTUALLY train puppies. And not Australians. Most of us know they are beyond smart. How about you train other breeds. Especially true training like 8-9 weeks old. That’s what most people need.
Our labrador Indy is almost 2 years old and crate training went well....my husband and sons think too well. Especially with Covid and all of us at home, she loves her crate! My husband and sons actually sometimes close the gate to keep her out of the crate🤣
Hello Linda how are you doing today
I am in the process of crate training my 9 week old Corgi, he will gladly go in for the treat but he picks it up and runs out to eat it. We also feed him his meals for the most part in his crate as well. The only time he will stay in there eating is when he can't get the food out, like if its in a bowl or his kong. Not really sure what to do to get him to stay in there eating his treat while training, extra treats don't seem to work either. I have also tried closing the door while he is eating and then his only focus on trying to get out. He is door dasher and he would rather get out than take a treat.
When we put him in there for bed time he will whimper/howl for a few minutes but eventually settles down. There has only been one accident in the crate so far but we have only had him for a week. Anytime at night when he gets restless he will start to whimper and we take him out. Surprisingly last night he made it 7 hours, I actually woke up and said uh oh (this was the first night we left a towel in there for him to lay on) thinking I would find an accident but I didn't and he went outside when I took him.
I am sure I am being impatient but I don't know how I should be training him to eat his treats in the crate, I figure once I can get there then I can work on the door dashing part.
How's crate training now? My pupoy sounds like your. Good at night hut during the day if you put him in and close the door all treats and food is forgotten as he cries and bites the door.
This video is so incredibly valuable! I had to place my puppy, whom I brought home only five days ago from about 500 miles away, in a crate for the drive home, than a lot during the first three days because he was not potty trained. So he didn't like his crate. Then two days ago I was able to start crate training following your suggestions, and he already walks into the crate on his own.
I'm so very grateful for the wonderful videos you share so generously❣❣❣ Between your videos, and another trainer that I follow, I feel that I'm in a great start with my puppy❣❣ 🙏🏾🙏🏾💜🙏🏾🙏🏾
This video has been invaluable to me in getting my puppy to enjoy her crate. The issue I’m still having is she hates when you close the door and leave the room? Also, when she’s home alone I have left a recording on and she cries and barks the whole time. Any advice? Thank you.
Hello Helene how are you doing today
I have a friend who recently got 2 pups,sisters. Sadly they were kept in a barn until the time he purchased them . They were 7 month old Boxers. They're now 8 months. They are going outside for walks & exercise & they do their business outside. But when in they're being paper trained which they have the hang of. Problem is security for both but one of them is actually very high strung. Even gets herself up onto counters & tables. I think she has too much freedom & doesn't quite have limits on her behavior in this regard ( getting into things). The other one is less inclined to do most of that stuff. I tried to tell him to crate train her but he's afraid she will be disturbed by it & thinks it's cruel. I've tried to explain that it can really help her with security while also help keep her safe BC now he's not able to leave his home. Not hard to see how this is a huge problem. I also told him she'd unlikely defecate inside crate if taken outside first. Any suggestions ??Thank you.
