Taking advantage of the dog’s natural instinct to keep their den clean is a key to effective crate training. This type of training could be both best for puppies as long as older dogs. However, the problem that comes with this type of training is the feeding time irregularity, owners tend to ignore the signals the dog is trying communicate and trying to do the toilet in a fast manner.
Although this training could be effective to almost all breeds of dogs, young and old, however there are some breeds that just cannot be rushed with the toilet training. The secret to speed up this process is constant praising and rewarding. It is important that the crate training should be effective because you do not want to go back from the very beginning and retrain your dog again. It would mean wasting of time, energy and effort in the first training session.
Accidents cannot be avoided during training sessions. There are many factors that may cause this accident. One of this is that maybe the dog has been left in its crate for a long period. Another reason could be the dog has not yet adopted the place as his den. Or maybe its den is too large. The best way to remedy this is to make his den smaller or take the puppy more frequently to the toilet. Moreover, medical problems could also trigger the dog to soil it den, therefore it is important owners have regular visit to their veterinarian.
Boredom could also be a factor for frequent urination of your dog. Dogs that are bored tend to consume large amount of water. So to address this problem, bring frequently your dog to the toilet area as well as provide him with things that would alleviate his boredom. Not only boredom contributes to dog’s crate training problem but as well as to some dog’s behavioral problem such as chewing and digging.
Moreover, an uncomfortable den would also cause destructive behavioral problem among dogs. There are dogs who do not easily feel at home with their done and others would see their den as prison. Therefore, the dog’s need, safety and comfort should be taken into consideration before starting any house-training program.
The common reasons why there are literally thousands of dogs are being neglected, abandoned and even put to rest because of behavioral problem and inappropriate elimination. Although house training is not an easy task, it takes your commitment, proper attitude and patience to save the lives of these dogs and prevent them from being surrendered to shelters.
