Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games kzfaq.infoUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!

To get through the night, keep the puppy active for an hour or two, then let him nap in the crate for about an hour before you go to bed. At bedtime, take him out quickly to do his business, and take his crate into the bedroom with you. Most puppies 10-12 weeks old will make it through the night. If he doesn't, he'll make noise to wake you up, and you can take him out. If you have to go to school, you should arrange to have someone come in every 3 hours or so to let him out until he's older.

Thank you! This is the best tutorial I have seen so far! *Edit* After using this same technique for 5 days in a row our puppy started peeing on the command "quickly". If she doesn't go right away and I know she should I put her in the crate for 5-10 mins and take her back out until she goes. I wasn't sure how she would start going to the door on her own but for the past 3 days she goes and jumps on the door when she has to pee and/or poop. This has been easier than potty training a toddler. Now I don't have to take her out so randomly. I'm letting her do things on her own and so far so good. She's only 7 weeks old now. Thank you again!

We let the young puppies sleep in the crate in our bedroom overnight - they will normally cry or make some kind of fuss when they need to go out. You have to accept the fact that you may be getting up in the middle of the night for the first few weeks.

I have never found such a detailed video on youtube

Great video! So many people have told me how mean it is to have dogs in small crates. They just need to be able to stand and turn around. What's mean is setting your baby up for failure and they end up in the back yard for her or rehomed.

Oh thank you so much for this video. It's the most informative one I've found. I'm getting a little toy poodle in a month and I want to crate train her too. This was very help full. I have added it to a play list so I can watch it again closer to my puppy's arrival.

I'm a senior who just got a yorkie puppy and needs all the instructions I can get but style of teaching is important to me so thank you!

Hands down the best Housebreaking Video on youtube!! Wish I've seen this video sooner as all the other videos that I've watched didn't really help.

Thank you for this video. My schnauzer has been with me for 4 weeks now and he is crate trained by watching your video. He does his toilet by me saying "outside quickly". He barks and rings the bell when he needs to go out. He is 12 weeks old. Thank you.

EXCELLENT video. Thank you so much, I got so much out of it. Picking up our new puppy today, and this video surely helped.

Thank you this was one of the best explanations I have found on this topic!

Best day and night with our new puppy. Best advice ever! Thanks

Great video, helped me see some of the mistakes I was making. Also the word association is real, I messed up when carrying my dog and I said the command. He peed down my shirt 😂

this video is very helpful, one of the best videos of crate training, very clear instructions and I will defiantly try this with my little pup!

You are such a sweetheart!!! Lucky dogs to have u as their human!!

Thank you so much for this!! I just got a new puppy and I’m already a bit frustrated with the training process. I take her out frequently and she’ll just want to play outside but pees/poops once we get inside 😑 I never crate trained my first dog but I’d like to try with this new puppy. This video is so informative! Makes it look so easy 😂

Must be nice when you have the equivalent of a small park in your back garden lol

I've watched lots of crate training videos on KZfaq and this is the best by far. Please make a video on basic commands to teach a puppy.

Currently on day two, sleep deprived, desperate and the puppy might as well be glued to my leg... This is going to be hard but let's give it a go because I need my own space back and so does the pup! Wish me luck with this one.

I love your training style! Great video.

best video on crate training. really helpful. Thanks for making and posting it!

Wow. thanks for this helpful video. I'm adding a Pomeranian to the family very soon and I was a bit anxious about training it. This video put my nerves at ease!

Thank you for the informative, no nonsense instructions.

Very detailed and informative video! :) thank you for all of the tips. Potty training has been very hard on us.

I would love to know how you schedule the day in terms of how much time in the crate, how much play time on your lap, when to feed, etc. Thank you so much! I love all of your incredibly informative videos!

This is a great video with helpful tips. Thank you for sharing.

You are awesome! Thank you for sharing every detail!

Great video, very well explained! It has helped me a lot. Thank you!

Brilliant video, picking my new puppy up in 4 weeks . Can’t wait to apply your method.

This video is fantastic (from a soon to be 1st time CKCS owner here at research stage). Thank you for making this video! 🐶🙏🏼

Great training video! Thank you!

thanks , very helpful ... i will be picking up my new puppy in two weeks ,and will be applying this helpful teaching .

Try feeding her in the crate to establish positive associations. Also, whenever you put her in the crate, use the word "crate" and give her a treat as she goes in. If puppies are properly acclimated to the crate, they will feel comfortable there, and won't mind going in. If the breeder didn't start the crate training, you'll have a little more work to do, but food should do the trick.

Among a lot of other videos concerning the same issue .. I found that one very helpful , so thanks a lot

Establish positive associations with the crate. Feed all his meals in there, and give a small treat every time he goes in.

She is adorable!! Thank you so much for this video! Even though I don't have a dog yet I am trying to learn as much as I can so I can be ready

Thanks so much for this video. I was wondering what crate size. Thanks so much for including that information!

with my puppy i just got up at 2am took her out in the garden..until she peed. then at 6am i got up again and took her for a short 5min walk so she could go again did that for bout 1 week,it was sorted

Thank you for the clear instructions. I am getting our female Blenheim puppy in 2 weeks. I will definitely be giving this a go!

Thank you for a great video it was exactly what I was looking for. I will watch this again with my 11 yo daughter so she understands the importance of crate training and potty training a puppy

Omg why does it looks so easy for others, I’m trying and I’m improving, my puppy hasn’t “gone” inside the house for 5 days.

Great video, clear and concise.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...The shih tzu I recently got is no spring chicken (4 years old) so I used this video to crait and potty train him. He now understands that trying to use it in the house is a no no.

This is such a great training video. I watched it with my first puppy a Tricolor Cavie as well! I followed it completely and now my dogs are so well crate trained and house broken. Thank you!

I was thinking about getting one . After watching this: I better wait a while. You are excellent. If I could come get you and let you puppy train while I watch. Ha. Good job. Thanks for making the video.

She's beautiful!!! Precious! Thanks for the tips.

Very helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

We have a Miniature Pinscher puppy who will be a year in January. Min pins are known to be very stubborn and don’t want to be told what to do. When he was two months old we had a crate that had a divider for a bedroom and potty pads on the other side so he could go whenever he needed to. We attached a playpen to the crate for his playtime spot. He used the potty pads for awhile, but then started having accidents in the house. I’ve heard about crate training, but was hesitant cause I didn’t like the thought of having my puppy hold his bladder till I let him out. He has been going to obedience classes and our trainer wanted us to start crate training him. So we got rid of the play pen, and potty pads.Got him a smaller crate for his size, 30” wire crate. He’s had a couple accidents in his crate when we first started the process. But he quickly got the hang of it. It took about 2-4 months for him to be fully crate trained. When he needs to go, he just stares at me, and I say “ need to go potty”? And he heads straight to the back door. Process of crate training: have dog in the crate for 2-4 hours. Then let dog out to potty. (Dog needs to potty before playtime) If your puppy is taking too long to potty, go back and put your puppy in the crate for another 20-30 min and then try again. If he/she doesn’t go after 20-30 min, repeat the process. I give my dog about 10 min to potty and give him time to pee and poop. After the dog has pottied, the dog can have 15-30 min of playtime, training, etc. then goes back into crate for another 2-4 hours, then repeat the process. Feeding time is important part of potty training, which maybe why most owners have a hard time potty training or have more accidents. My dog is fed twice a day. Morning around 10 am and dinner around 5-5:30pm. They should always have access to water, but not the entire day. I cut my puppies water off at 6pm. So that way he’s not peeing every couple hours throughout the evening which will cause accidents when he needs to be crated at bedtime. So dog owners, make sure to cut your dog’s food/water off no later than 6pm, or else they’ll just keep drinking which will cause more accidents and your having to take them out more which can be annoying. This is all from my trainer which has been working out very well. Crate training is very Tedious. It takes patience, time, and consistency. No matter how well your dog is trained, they are still going to have accidents if your not watching their cues when they need to potty, or if they have a medical condition (UTI, etc). Once you feel confident that your puppy is fully crate trained, that is when they can have free roam of the house, with supervision.

Thank you, great and very helpful video.

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for your tips. We've had our dog over a month so we missed the 3day period. He pretty much goes outside but we've had a few accidents in the past month but I think our dog is doing great

Excelent, detailed video, Thank you!

holy crap! this so informational! very well done sir. thanks!

This video is so well done, I enjoy it!

I always tok my dog out when he had been sleeping,eating and playing when he was a puppy,then he learn to go outside on the toilet.i was out many times a day,when he was grown too.they need a lot of walking.

Great thorough instructions! 👍🏻🐶♥️

Getting a 8 week French Brittany in about a week. Thank you for the advice! this will for sure help! :)

Thank you, Charlie and JR for an excellent training video! How old was your cute puppy when this was made? How many weeks should the puppy be to understand this process? I don't have a spacious backyard with a lawn for potty. Any suggestions for a city dweller would be appreciated.

Thank you for your hands on video, I was about to lose all hope until I watched your tutorial.

This is a great video! Thanks so much!

OMG, my cav is almost 5 months and I already miss this puppy look! I wish I could have 50 of them and stay home all day!

Thank you for such a detailed video

Thank you so much! Really nice video

My dog died about 2 months ago of cancer, and I had him all my 12 years of life. He was a trouble maker, and we did not train him like this, but we should have.

Thankyou. All new to me & realise I'm giving my Yorkies far too much room! Clear insructions. Thankyou :)

Great video! Love your backyard too!

Very educational. Thanks.

Great video. Thanks.

this is very good advice thank you!

Awesome video! And those pups are so cute! 🐶💕Love from Chi💕

Wonderful learning experiences

Great video! Thanks

such a helpful video. thank you!

One of the best videos I have seen. He is gifted in this area. The only critique I would make is to change the title from house breaking to simply house training. Breaking is an antiquated term going back to the old concept of breaking the spirit. Although it is not the trainer's intention, the YT video title may imply to some folks that he is trying to "break" something in the puppy. Furthermore, given that most any puppy that is being crate trained is being trained for the first time, there is not yet a history or habit to "break." Other than that, this is a first rate video and a nice change from most of the others on the Tube. ...Another thought is that puppies naturally will want to bite or mouth you, especially as they approach the teething phase. But it is best to always have a chew toy at the ready. This will cut down on biting later.

This video was very informative... Thank u

Beautiful pups

Beautiful puppy

Same exact procedure. Just keep in mind that each of your trips out will involve putting a lead on the puppy, CARRYING him out, and walking him until he does his business.

the quietest dog ever!

Thank you, i recently been closing the doors, where he seems to go. Another thing, he is very playful and when i go outside with him he thinks we are going to play. I was thinking putting him on the leash, but he kinda likes to go on his own (when he does). He is a very smart pup.

Great video! Thank you

this video was VERY helpful. thank u^_^

Thanks for the advice. I have made a little "crib" in my basement to put him in when I am at school. So far he's doing well but there us still some crying, since it is the first couple of times. She is a 2 month old Border Collie mix.

this video about crate training is the best I ve seen till date. all the others r so confusing as to whether the crate is for potty or for the puppy to sleep. you cleared my concept of a crate. do u have a website?

Brilliant video! Do you have to take them out as often during the night too?

It helped a lot THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Great video.

Thank u much for this informative vid I just got a french bulldog n I’m crate training him now seems to be working but one question I have is do I leave water in crate or let pup drink outside of crate? Thanks again you saved me a lot of headache lol

It's a little bit harder to change ingrained habits, but you can crate train an older dog as well. Just remember to reward the dog whenever he goes into the crate.

Great Video On Dog Crate Training - We Will Be Sharing Your Stuff To Our Facebook Page and Blog Website Site - Good Work!

Great video . We have our new Labrador black boy coming home in two weeks .

Thank you so much for your videos - they're all so informative !!! Would you ever consider doing one on "Day 1 of getting your puppy to his forever home" ? Dos & Donts on the first day, how to get through the first night... Thank you so much from France :)

This was fantastic info! Just adopted a new puppy and this is extremely helpful. Thanks so much!

Very helpful. But how and when do you go about feeding her while crate training?

Thank you for the walking puppy to pee spot routine. I did not know how that would work in our long house. Your way makes sense. Cute girl

My little companion is still peeing around the house. Mind you, she is nearly 70 yrs old.

☆thank you so much, this video helped me a lot. 💖👍😁

I enjoyed your video very much and I am looking forward to getting a puppy I have been looking at the animal shelters in hopes of finding a small little dog to adopt and share my apartment with , my question ~ where do you feed your pet , you said not to let it run free in the home , do I feed it in the crate and may I ask also what are the best kinds of dogie treats to train with, thank-you & I appreciate your wonderfully informative video :)

Your voice reminds me a bit of John Walsh. You look like him too! Great video, helped a lot 👍

thank you what an informative video and fantastic home and property you have! we live in a condo in Tokyo don't have the luxury of having a yard so have to train our toy poodle puppy on proper toilet behavior at home which is a challenge.
