Answer
· "How long should i lock the dog crate?"
How long is fragile Great Aunt Victoria visiting?
How long before the parents of that uncontrolled brat go home? (Make sure they are never invited back!)
How long will he be crated while you are driving?
See, a crate is for protecting your pup, not imprisoning it.
A locked-in pup can NOT exercise its fast-growing bones & muscles every minute that it is awake. A locked-in pup can not follow its instinct to get away from its nest before piddle-pooing, so is forced to learn to mess its nest and lie in it.
My last pup came inside at 8½ weeks and had the run of the house 24/7 (except for shut guest room & lounge). That afternoon she was fully trained to use an area I had covered with layers of newspaper . She was also almost trained that day that my always-open bedroom is forbidden to dogs - on 5 mornings I had to look in the passage for the aromatic sock she had been unable to resist stealing while I was boringly asleep.
Toilet training requires YOU to be with-&-concentrating-on Pup 100% so that you LEARN his signals & timings for "Wanna go toilet" and "Wanna BITE something!", so that you can predict that, e .g., 1 minute after waking and 3 minutes after eating or drinking he will, eg, start making anxious nose-down circles - and THAT's when you pick him up and take him to the designated toilet area. You then stand boringly still & silent until he remembers what he wanted to do, so does it. THEN you enthusiastically praise (e .g ., "Good boy Rexie TOILET!") & reward him (pats & rubs are always available; tidbits & games require a tiny amount of preparation) before calling him to come back inside with you. Crates are unintelligent and insensate. They can neither reward nor deter behaviours, so they can NOT "toilet train" a pup. YOU have to.
· "also how long he can hold it at night?"
Dogs don't "hold it" - wrong kind of appendages for holding onto objects.
But if you intend to take him out to the toilet every time he wants to go, you won't be getting much sleep during the next few months! You'd be better having a roofed security pen - at least 12ft long between gate & raised sleeping box - for when you can't supervise him. Or shutting him inside a safe room (no wires or hoses or chemicals) that you've covered the floor of.
Yes, he WILL complain for at least an hour the first night you put him in there with a gnaw bone. No-one must speak to him, no-one must go to him - complaining must NOT produce rewards; not a familiar voice, not a pat, not a trip out of his "bedroom" ..

Dog crate... small car?
Julie
I may be getting a dog and I am looking into getting a crate for the dog. I don't know how to get the dog crate from the pet store to my house. I have a pretty small car - a toyota corolla. Any ideas/suggestions? It will be a medium dog crate so probably around 36" x 24" x 27".
what about those plastic ones?
Answer
If you are getting a metal crate they collapse down to the size of the base and are only about 3-4" high. should easily fit in your backseat standing up. If you opt for the plastic airline crates they stack, the tops come off and fit into the bottom. A bit more room needed but should still fit.
