Part1: There is Actually a "Wrong" Way to Crate Train
Crate training dogs, (or crate training puppies) if approached correctly is by far one of the most effective tools you can use to form good dog behavior.
The most subtle mistakes in crate training are sometimes the worst because they go undetected and are repeated over and over again which can make the whole experience of potty training dogs negative and frustrating.
Using the correct method of crate training you can avoid subtle mistakes and have your puppy or dog's training move along quite smoothly.
Even though crate training dogs is by far the best way to potty train, it can backfire if not done correctly. This is why there are so many pet owners who attempt crate training and wonder why they're still having problems; because there is a right way and a wrong way to approach the whole process.
My proven methods of crate training make this stage both a positive and rewarding experience for both you and your puppy (or dog).
A Basic Understanding:
---------------------
The first step in puppy training or dog training is to learn how your puppy or dog is viewing things, what actually forms his puppy behavior and what you can do to appropriately shape it.
By understanding the canine mindset better, you can make the process a lot easier and faster, which in turn makes it a lot more fun and rewarding for both you and your puppy.
So in order to be successful in crate training dogs or puppies, a basic understanding of "natural" puppy behavior is needed. Here are a few examples:
1. Dogs cannot view things the way we do; and in fact many times situations are just the opposite of what it looks like from our perspective.
2. Dogs do not make connections between cause and effect when any amount of time has passed.
3. Dogs do not understand the spoken language unless it's paired consistently with something meaningful to them.
4. Dogs are frightened and confused by anger that humans display.
5. When a dog experiences fear and confusion as a result of a human getting angry with him this also slows down the dog's learning process since effective learning cannot take place under these conditions.
What Dogs Do Understand:
------------------------
Some of what dogs and puppies do understand is:
* Instinct and self preservation-(neither of which they have conscious control over)
* Immediate consequence to action
* Positive rewards
* Tone of voice
* Some body language
And they are effected by our emotions even when they don't understand them.
Dogs and puppies respond more quickly and more reliably to positive incentives than to fear or punishment. And in dealing with puppies, fear and punishment can and will damage their personalities for life.
In many cases, punishment tactics actually cause behavioral problems, can compound existing ones, and can even bring about the opposite behavior than what we are trying to achieve.
Crate training dogs and crate training puppies using positive behavior shaping methods allows you to effectively train your pet without having to use punitive measures at all.
