What about when out of crate? ….instead of playing with toys they go for the carpet or my slippers

Crate training is really good but also you need to tell puppy NO when they have something they are not allowed and give then a item they can chew, when the puppy chews and plays with his or her toys say yes good boy/ good girl. Also a play pen area with there own toys is a great idea and you can also limited where they can go in the home and put anything u dont want them to touch out of the way. Make sure your giving your puppy exercise and brain games small training sessions through the day a tired dog is a good dog. So far my puppy is 5months old and hasnt chewed anything in the home thats not his to chew. We have been very lucky keeping your puppy busy and re directing there attention to what they can and cant chew is always a good way to go, crates are ok for when puppy has be home along and play areas are good for when u need to leave the room for a while. Break up the space dont give your puppy to much freedom at once. I will also add if you do crate your puppy for any length of time make sure they have something to do like a kong or chew also make sure that they have had a good walk and some training always put them in tired this way they will nap and settle while you are gone. My puppy only uses his crate at bed time he goes in with a one of his favourite treats at 10pm and get gets up and comes out at 6am he sleeps through the night and the rest of the day he is kept busy and naps where he likes. wants to, also he has a crate that is 42" so much bigger than he needs this allows him spaces and he can be free to move around and stretch out as he is now fully toilet trained. Will I dont think you saying crate training over and over is a good way to help the guy with his question or others as not everyone has same life style and not everyone has room for a crate in the home or even likes them.

Okay...I just got a new puppy and I come across your video with a Marshall amp in the background. You're my kind of guy! You got a new subscriber!!

Great insights on why the crate is so important!

Thank you thank you thank you Our dog is destroying things out of spite and this is part of the solution

Hey! What is your advice regarding crate training i Sweden? In Sweden crates are allowed but it is illegal to have a door on the gate. How can i make for instance a dog bed an equally safe and relaxing experience?

I crate trained my dog from an early age and found it so useful in many ways. However, she rips up her bedding and blankets while in the crate, even after being exercised. I want her to have a comfortable bed to sleep but don’t want her choking on bedding and blankets while I’m not home. Please help 😩

@willathertoncaninetraining my red heeler IS crate trained. That said,, the instant she’s out she finds the opportunity to chew something. I can’t even place a dog bed or blanket for her in her crate. And if she manages to pull something into the kennel she will chew it up. She has been known to move the crate to reach blankets and such and eat them up. Help!

OK so I've tried crate training. My dog chewed the kennel and hurt himself on the kennel. He broke the door on the kennel. What do you suggest? I've got him puzzle toys, he's destroyed them. Tried bitter spray. It only works on material. He still opens and chews solid things with the bitter spray on it. Please help.

how can i get a personal response from you on training tips for my dog? i got a 9 month old rescue husky and shes sent me to the hospital over biting! she was previously abused by her first owner and has a ton of quirks as a result! I'm very lost and I'm struggling a lot to find information online and every darn trainer/academy around is insanely overpriced!!

You always give this answer but what if you have a nine month year-old rescue who will do perfectly fine in the crate when you’re there but the second you leave they hurt themselves trying to get out and their nose drips and they drool because of the anxiety? We’ve done everything we can think of to get him comfortable in the crate and we’ve had to just except that when we leave another part of our couch will be torn apart. It’s my sister‘s dog and I’ve done the best I can but she’s thinking of getting rid of him end it devastates me

My dog are crate trained but my dogs eat the blankets or what ever they can reach and i dont no what to do any advice with this

My 3 year old presa canario, When he is outside in the backyard. He chews our sideing from the house. Mist cus he wants back in. How do I resolve that?

thank you master

I am mainly looking for answers cause for 3 months my puppy would go on the couch and sleep amd not realy bother anything but the last few weeks i come home to him taken more insulation out of the wall idk whats changed. I have a room decated fir him to go as he pleases figured he wouldn't do to much.

What if your dog chews his bed in the crate that's with kong toys ect in his bed ?

My room mate got a 4 month old back in October. She could be a nightmare in the beginning but she had been good for the last month. I think this new behaviour may be tied to reduced walks because the temperature here gets too cold for her to be outside very long or at all some days. Shes going on 8 months old now and I've become frustrated after we discovered she had taken a chunk out of the carpet last week and then again somewhere else last night. I told my room mate I hate to say i told you so but she doesnt believe in crate training but I think shes now convinced and also have to figure out how to repair this as its a rental apartment.

i was prepared for other tips & was going to say my dog only seems to do this destructive chewing when i am not around so currently i'm just crating her while i'm gone & ask if there's more i can do but i guess i am doing what she needs. i will get a cover for her indoor crate tho. make it more homey for her.

Is there any other solutions? We've tried so many times to give treats and positive reinforcement with the crate. But he'll smash his face off the crate and has cut up his face. He's so anxious by himself and we've tried to ease him into being home alone but even an hour and he's either destroyed something or hurt himself. We feel so stuck

Mine is fine with the crate, loves to go lay down in there on her own. Would stay in there all day while im at work with no problem. The older dog has passed and she crys and howls when i leave her home in the crate. How do we fix that?

My pup was doing great in the crate until I moved to this new place. Now that I leave him in a crate either he drops his food , water or pees or poop in the crate itself And if I dont leave him in the crate then in that case he chews the door and sometimes even furniture and destroys everything around. I need help pls guide thanks

Wish I found this video sooner! Got a 9 month old pup has has chewed at my skirting boards and walls

What treats do you use?

What if your puppy is a year and 2 months she has chewed on the wood frame on the wall and on the window ledge and my bags under my bed and she chewed up my hiking boots under my chair I've got some it was like cotton underneath it she chewed that right off the I'm trying to keep her from chewing all the rest of my wood stuff that's in she hasn't chewed the carpet yet I've tried using the leash and hooking her to my pp but that is not working either I don't have a crate to train her I don't have so what else can I do

Hi I started crate training when my puppy since was little. But then in 5 moths of her age I stopped. Now she is almost 7 months and she started to destroy things, Is it okay to start again crate training or is it too late ? :( Thank you!

I have my dog crate trained but she is now started chewing her crate i dont leave her for more than an hour she is 9 month old im stuck what i can do next any idea’s guys ?

My friend crates and then when the dog is let free, they chew............. everything. Do you crate the dog for 18 hrs a day?

My dog is 1 year old already but still distroyed my things inside my home. How to control that happen?

I would like some advice on this topic. We have two puppies (one lab and one husky) and have crate trained them from day one in a position way but when they are not in their crates they are still getting into everything. We try to get them engaged with lots of toys and raw hide chews but they are still chewing at th carpet and the corner of the tables. Do you have any more ideas to deter this chewing?

When we’re in the house an he goes in his crate his fine, soon as we left the house he chewed the metal off the crate escaped and destroyed everything. Any advice

Well I can’t crate train a 2 year old dog can I?

Hello. Our dogs have always been crate trained with great effect. However for the first time ever we’ve hit a little problem. Our 16 month old Labrador had just started chewing and destroying his beds. Any thoughts on what’s going on and how we stop him doing this would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Adam

What if using a crate or confining the dog to a limited space is not possible?

Like how ur bass cab is also a nightstand

I have three children including a 9 week old infant and a 9mo old GSD. I feel like I’m drowning and regret getting the dog. Her chewing is destroying everything. I’m not seeing her do it. I’m not when she does it. So I’m lost as to how to train her. If you pray, please do so for our family 😭

Ok so this is kinda my problem except my 8 month old German sheperd doesn't tear anything up in the house hardly ever except his bed, that he chews on within a day of me fixing it. The issue arises while he and my border collie are both outside. He digs and chews constantly. He has a thing about pulling branches and firewood out and chewing on it but will also chew on kid toys or really anything new that gets left out. Now I have watched your videos and I know exercise and mental stimulation is a big part of it which I do every day for about an hour or more. He listens and is very smart and I have zero issue besides this.

My two puppies are brothers and 9 months old One of them bluey destructively chews and the other bingo constantly bites and jumps. I don't have a crate

But how do you positively crate train?

Hello there Which would you prefer. To get a puppy cane corso at 6 weeks, 7 weeks or wait the 8 weeks? And why? The puppy is weaned and on solid food.

My boy is a pug and they are very excitable he is 1 year old he has a cage but I gave him a toy and he ripped the stuffing out I don’t npknow what to do

What would be your recommendation when the "puppy" is a large breed such as a Leonberger that is well over 100 lbs and is no longer small enough to crate train.

I have a lab husky mix, I got him when he was 4 months now he is 9 months. I’ve done everything for crate training. In fact my crate I use is a big outside pen about 6x4 in the spare bedroom so it’s huge for him. First day we moved into the apartment he shredded 2 big spots in the carpet. Since then he’s ate everything including utensils, remotes, chairs and not stop gets in the trash no matter how much I kennel him for and smack his butt with whatever he ate a couple times. I don’t get why 5 months of trying to kennel train hasn’t worked a single bit. He can’t be left alone in the apartment for more than a minute. And he has absolutely no shame when he does something wrong. My other 2 know if they didn’t something wrong and do their scared crawl and avoid eye contact yanno.. but I’ll smack my labsky with a spoon he ate, put it in the trash and he goes right to the trash to try and get it. I’m lost and tired of the thousands and thousands of dollars of damages he’s caused, I’m about to give him up.

I have a Rottweiler mastiff. She’s 8mo/old. She gets out of her crate and freaks out. No matter what I do she gets out and chews on everything.

I got a 1 year old from the Humane Society. I take him for a walk every morning before I go to work I was leaving one of the black kongs in the crate with him. He tore the black kong up he tore his create up his bedding and anything we put in there with him.

I just got my puppy two days ago and he already started chewing cords, slippers.

I have crate trained my 14 week old. But he sees one of the children's toys and goes to chew it

This dog, will try to dig through the carpet in a crate or break out. Caucasian shepherd almost 1 yr old. Been trying patiently.

Right , but they will be in there all day and all night mostly minus when im home .

Least helpful video of all time

in south africa we dont crate train

I wanted my dog to be more co.fy in his crate and everytime I buy him a new bed or blanket its destroyed

I been training my puppys if they do anything wrong i tell them if they don't listen I tell them on your bed if they still don't listen I say on your bed or in your bed They run to there bed because they know in your bed means crate This has taken a few months but it is worth it Always command them by using a stronger tone in my voice use the word No my dog is a large dog I have two both sisters One excellent the other stubborn they can both reach the counter top in the kitchen to steel food the one girl is excellent the other is stubborn but I had her a lot later 5 months old so she had no rules where I have no prooblems with the other girl 12 weeks I had her Worth every penny the cage and its peace of mind they even make their own bed with a blanket ❤ best of luck its hard work but will pay off handsomly and hes right I also feed them in the cage so there meals or a treat that Since I bought the cage there has been less damage I will feed in the cage so they both have there own space and I am not just using it as a naughty cage

Was really hoping a solution for this not a way to imprison your dog for hours on end everyday

My puppy is destructive wheb out of the crate though lol

My dog is so hyperactive he will just dig and scratch and yelp till we let him out, he is constantly trying to eat everything, you cant hold your phone or vape or anything in your hand because he wants it straight away, every time i change tv channel i have to put the remote in the draw but then he tries eating the draws to get to the remote, he won't let me sit next to my missus he has to dig in-between us until we are separated, he doesn't stop nipping and running around the house all day none stop it just relentless, he has so many toys and treats but wants what ever he is not allowed lol, my house is empty now the bits i have left that he hasn't chewed ive had to lock away, my couch is chewed to shit big time, he has smashed one tv by jumping in to it & ate 2 other remotes, you cant even sit and watch a film for a hour cos he is none stop trying to wreck something or trying to get your attention and he has so many walks etc, he is a rescue dog and only had him just over a month but he is getting worse and i cant seem to even make a start at training him, he is just to crazy, what can i do? Plzzzzzzz help😢

So just keep them in the crate all the time? Gotcha.

Haha, crate training. Our 8 month old destroyed her crate

o much talking bro but no visuals, no example ,so little dog for my eyes, show more dog! please bro...... Sincerely from a newly cane corso puppy owner.

I had to rehome my rescued dog because of his chewing. I confined him to our patio with chew toys, yet he still managed to chew his bed on the patio. So much so i gave him nothing to lie down on because he would tear it apart. We had to rehome him before going on vacation for 2 weeks. I can't keep him locked up on the patio for 2 weeks. It's cruel. Neither can i do that for 8+ hours while at work. How do you crate a dog for 8+ hours Fenrir? You don't leave a baby in a crib for 8+ hours on their own

Sooo just throw them in the crate 💀💀💀

This is the lazy way to train, not to mention cruel

If dogs love them so much, why do they need crate training, and why does no-one call them what they are: cages?!
