Potty Training Puppy Using Crate

Dog Crates are devised by man for dogs live in accommodation and teaching them good habits.  Like all other animals, puppies defecate, which is a biological function of eliminating waste products after digestion and assimilation of food ingested.
Puppy initially eliminates whenever and wherever there is an urge to defecate without realizing the sanctity or importance of the place. The difficulty is of missing communication between the owner and the puppy. The need is of making the puppy understand by training lessons.
The success of the crate training has following described four pre-conditions:

1. Confining in a crate:
Puppies do not understanding where to defecate in a required confinement in a dog crate kept outside house, is good and necessary for easy potty training. Do not keep waste paper or cloth under the crate, which can be damaged by puppy.
By their nature dogs are reluctant to eliminate at their living place. The dog crate needs to be of bigger size for free movement of the puppy and it serves the purpose of bed for the puppy to sleep. In the area the puppy sleeps, it does not urinate or defecate and by nature is capable of holding the urination for a longer period till the owner let’s the puppy out. The large crates also encourages the puppy to eliminate at one side and sleep in the other. An eight to ten weeks old puppy can hold urination for 7 to 8 hours.

As the puppies grow into adulthood, they require larger sized crate, with a provision of creating a partition making two separate spaces.
In the duration of housebreaking, the puppy should be kept in the crate. Please ensure that before you put the puppy in the cage take him/her out so that the elimination need is carried out before confining in her/his cage. No food is to be kept in the crate only toys for chewing and a cloth sheet.
In due course, you shall see that puppy becomes faithful in performing all the learned activities and can be left around freely for longer durations at a time.

2.  Essentials of House Breaking for puppies:
If the crate puppy is going to be living inside the house, it is a necessary to carry out potty training immediately. You will find this process, easy and accomplish your goal in a very short amount of time.

3.  Devoting Time for Crate Training:
It is necessary for the training time to be schedule at a fixed time and adhered to precisely on a regular basis.

4.    Dog Training and Praise:
For ensuring that crate puppy eliminates at the place outside, the training is conducted with the help of a leash. Use of leash enables your dog to remain near you, and helps in having controlled supervision by you. Puppies feel distracted by any sound, smell or nearby animal and will not defecate. In this situation a gentle leash shall drive away any curiosity, a cause of distraction from his/her mind and will allow your puppy to feel comfortable to defecate.

5. Using the Leash & Words to Teach:
It is beneficial to use the same commands for when it is to go potty like “go potty” establishing a link with the action of training or “go poop.” By repeating  this your puppy will catch on very quickly. For each training action a word needs to be associated like: “outside” for going Outside.
When the puppy has learned the training and is performing well, give your puppy a lot of praise  and affection.

Thus there shall always be verbal link to the action you decide the puppy needs to do. Everyone in the family should learn the verbal communication terms and needs to be consistent for the best results.

7. Punishing the Puppy:
If some unexpected action happens, punish the crate puppy, when you see the puppy in that action, otherwise it shall be meaningless, because the puppy would not know why you are punishing.
