Puppy Training Part 5

Puppy training schedule... more training at 2-3 months

Crate training (2-3 months)



Some people mistakenly refer to a crate as "doggie jail" but that is not the way Puppy will view his crate. He will view it as his safe and  secure den.
Oh, at first he might be unhappy to have his movements limited, but it won't be long at all before he goes into the crate on his own, to take a nap or just to get away from household activity.
For a new puppy, a crate helps with housebreaking and provides a safe den for sleeping. When your puppy is used to his crate, it will be easy to take him visiting, or for trips in the car, or to the vet.

Namely.... daily routines, praise and correction words, crate training, housebreaking, acceptance of being handled, gentleness, and household rules. So if your older puppy is still mouthing on your hands, or barking back at you when you tell him to do something, or if he doesn't stop whatever he's doing when you say, "No", you can't rush on to "heel" or "sit-stay". Respect needs to come first, no matter how many months it takes.  Then you can move on to.... Walk on the leash without pulling. Come when called. EVERY TIME. Lie down – and stay lying down for up to 30 minutes. Wait inside the door or gate
