why does my dog hates his crate so much?




audry


i have a 9 months German shepherd dog, he's free and out of his crate from 9 pm to 6 am then i keep him until 3 then I lock him in at 6 pm and then out again at 9, the problem is every time he's in his crate he wont stop barking until we let him out I don't know why he hates it that much he even pooped in it, it's hard to change it because we built him a small house we can't just buy one,so what can cause this? and is there anything i can do to make him accept his crate ?

thanks in advance



Answer
Dogs are den animals, therefore crates provide the environment appropriately for them. When a dog does Not like his or her crate that is caused from the following; used as punishment or time out area, crated for extended lengths of time, not properly desensitized to the crate, too big or too small, or has learned behaviors of how he or she can convince owners to let them out.

When you put your pup in the crate, make sure he is fed, has eliminated and has things to chew on. Never use the crate as punishment or they associate the crate with a place they go when they displeased their owners, also be sure to never let him out for inappropriate behavior. If he barks or whines and you let him out he is opt to do this again since it has successfully communicated to you what he wants. He needs to understand the.crate is a good place. Instead drop treats in his crate for being quiet. Even if it's a single second, he will try to understand how he received the treat. In short time, if done proper he will whinr less and less to receive treats or to come out of the crate.

How to crate train a dog?




nicole


i am getting a jack russell puppy soon. i am trying to prepare myself for when he comes. i need some tips on how to potty train him b/c i have never owned a dog before. i am planning on feeding him three times a day, if that helps. i do not work so i will be at home most of the time with my puppy unless i have dinner plans or something at night. i am also willing to walk this puppy everyday and play with it lots. So, how do you crate train a dog? If there is anything else i should know about getting my first puppy thast would be great..THANKS EVERYONE!


Answer
Below are Crate Training/House Training Tips.

When you are leaving the house, or going to bed for the night, do the following. Never actually shove the dog in the crate, either throw treats in there, or sqeek a toy and put it in there. The dog will eventually learn that they have to go in, if you place them in front of the crate, and say the word.. Place the dog in the crate, along with some safe toys. Close the door, give a treat, and say your crate command.(Such as, night night, crate, or bed). Leave.
**I DO NOT SUGGEST CRATING PUPPIES THAT ARE YOUNGER THAN 12 WEEKS**
Repeat slowly extending the time, and make sure you leave time between kennel times, to spend with your puppy. Never expect your puppy to stay in his kennel longer than the age he is in months plus one. (example, if your puppy is 5 months old, only leave it in there for 6 hours. No dog/puppy should stay in it's kennel longer than 7-8 hours.

Rules:
1.Try to teach them that their crate is a good place. Reward them when you place them in the crate. This is teaching them, that a treat comes with good crate behavior. Always keep your dog in the crate, unless you can keep a good eye on him.
2. Another option, if you do not want to place your dog in the kennel all of the time, hook his leash to your belt loop, this way he can not go off and use the restroom somewhere, and you don't know about it.
3.Always take him outside after;(ON A LEASH); rough play, after he eats or drinks, after being let out of his crate, after he wakes up after a night or if he is,
sniffing,staring at you,whining, or sitting at the door.
4.Don't ever hit your dog, or rub his nose in his mess. This will just teach the dog to be afraid of you.
5.Don't feed him or give him to much water, before you plan to put him in his cage.
6.Don't expect your dog to hold it's restroom, more than the age of the dog in months, plus one. But no dog should have to hold it's bladder more than a 7-8 hours.
7.Be patient!! That is the key, to housetraining. Of course if you get too overwelmed, you can always buy a book, or ask a professional trainer!
8.Always, when he goes to the bathroom ouside, give lots of praise and treats!!
9. If you expect your puppy to go outside, and dont use puppy pads when he gets older, starting out with puppy pads, is not a good idea, because this trains them that it's ok to go inside, and then before they know it, they cant, it is to confusing for them.
10. Work out a schedule that fits your lifestyle. Feed your dog the same time every day.
11.When you go outside, stay outside until he uses the restroom.
12. Dogs while first potty training, need to go outside every 2-3 hours.
13.Do not make the dog smell his mess, strike him or lock him ouside. This will just confuse the pup, and it might be afraid of you.
14. Ignore whining, unless you KNOW that he/she has to go to the bathroom.
Good Luck!
