    Crate Training: Size, Toys, and Placement

    In this lesson, we cover the three most important parts of crate setup: choosing the right size, what’s safe to put inside (and what to avoid), and where to place the crate in your home. Getting these basics right will make the training process smoother for both you and your dog.

    Crate Training: Luring In

    In this lesson, we’ll teach your puppy to enter the crate willingly. By using food and calm encouragement, you’ll start to build a positive association so the crate feels safe and rewarding, not forced.

    Crate Training: Long Lure

    Now that your puppy is comfortable stepping into the crate, we’ll extend the lure deeper inside so they learn to walk all the way in. This helps your pup gain confidence and creates a smoother transition toward staying inside calmly.

    Crate Training: Crate and Place Game

    This game links the crate with the “place” command to build versatility. Your dog learns to move from crate to place (and back) calmly, reinforcing impulse control, obedience, and focus. It’s a fun way to strengthen structure while keeping training engaging.
