• You need to make sure that your puppy does not associate the crate with punishment or a bad experience,

• If your puppy does not like his crate and hates going in it – you will need to purchase a new one.

• If your dog has developed a real hatred of his den you will need to start puppy crate training from the beginning – you need your pooch to see it as a dog training tool and device rather than a prison.

• Purchase a new aluminum or plastic folding crate it can even be made of wire as long as it is safe for your pooch. Don’t buy one that is too big otherwise he will be able to potty in the corner and stay dry.

• Nearly all dog trainers agree that it is perfectly acceptable to leave your dog in his crate when you are unable to supervise him.

• Make his crate a fun and enjoyable experience, put some nice toys in there to keep him stimulated. Puppy crate training whining problems often start through boredom.

• Feed your puppy in his crate and let him out as soon as he has finished his food.

• Keep the den near the family – puppy crate training whining problems often start because your pooch has been put in some far off place in the House.

• If you have placed your pooch in his den and he is whining and whinging, ignore him but as soon as he stops give him a treat and lots of praise. Your puppy will soon associate not whining with getting a nice treat some praise or a reward. This is also known as classical conditioning.

• Let your pooch sleep in his crate but if he is really young play some games with him and take him for a run around the garden – you need to really get your pooch tired before he goes to bed. A tired puppy is less likely to whine.

• As soon as your puppy has woken up take him outside to potty and reward him – all puppies like to pee straight after a nap – you can find out more in our section on potty training a puppy.

• If you are using a the crate at night put a blanket over the crate so that he feels more cosy – it may stop him whining if he can’t see you!

• Leave something that has your scent on it in his den, this will make him feel that you are close by.
