how to kennel train a dog:

First, bait the kennel with a very naughty cat.

Next, allow the pet dog to smell the bait …

If you are going to use a kennel in any way with your dog, consistent kennel training is important. a lot of dogs have at least some anxiety when kenneled.

This was the case recently when my mutt Ace spent the night at a relative’s house who reported that Ace cried, paced and yipped until 2 a.m.

What could possibly cause my “kennel-trained” pet dog to be so anxious?

Did my pet dog miss me? Pode ser.

But a lot more likely, it’s even simpler:

1. Ace’s routine was off.

2. Ace hadn’t had enough exercise.

I typically expect too much out of Ace and take his usually calm behavior for granted. I forget that even a good pet dog is still a dog.

It’s difficult, if not impossible to calm a pet dog down if he has not had enough exercise.

Ace is not deprived by any indicates – he goes biking with me a few days per week, and he goes along on runs. Still, I’d like to commit a lot more focused time to exercising my dog.

My goal is 4 miles per day. will that always be possible? No. but it’s a goal to shoot for.

A second goal is to reinforce kennel training.

When I say, “Kennel up,” Ace sprints to his kennel and dives in hoping for a treat. but there are times when he believes he doesn’t have to be kenneled.

During a recent trip to my parents’ house I kenneled Ace for about 10 minutes while their dogs were loose. Let’s just say my pet dog threw a temper tantrum – yipping and whining. When Ace is ecstatic and I kennel him, it does not go well.

Below are some pet dog kennel training ideas I plan to use with my mutt. These ideas are intended for dogs that are already “kennel trained” but may have issues being kenneled when they don’t want to be, like when guests check out or when staying in someone else’s house.

Dog kennel training tips

1. Kennel the pet dog randomly.

Dogs like routines, but it’s good to slowly stretch their limits. Kenneling the pet dog randomly for even 10 minutes at a time teaches the pet dog that you are the one who makes a decision when he will go in the kennel. try this while you are enjoying TV, while you are doing something “fun” like playing fetch or even ideal before heading out for a walk.

2. Kennel the pet dog in different rooms.

This is another way to slowly get the pet dog used to going in the kennel at any time and anywhere. Dogs are contextual, indicating they need to learn ideas in different contexts. just because the pet dog is kennel trained in the laundry room doesn’t indicate he is kennel trained in the basement or upstairs or at your mom’s house.

3. Kennel the pet dog when people visit.

Practice this one with good pals and family members who are also pet dog owners and understand what you are trying to show your dog. When people visit, a lot of dogs get very excited. This is the best time to practice putting the pet dog in the kennel.

I don’t believe dogs must be kenneled whenever people visit. Dogs must learn to greet people at the door appropriately. but kenneling the pet dog randomly for 10 minutes when pals are over will help your pet dog learn to be calm for those rare nights when you really do want to kennel him. maybe you want him kenneled during Thanksgiving dinner or during a party with your co-workers, for example.

4.  Kennel the pet dog when he is excited.

This is a hard one for Ace. If he is worked up over something like a ball or another dog, he will bark if I kennel him. This normally happens when we are checking out family members because there are other dogs around and Ace doesn’t want to be away from “the pack.”

I can set up scenarios at home to show Ace that once he is in the kennel he has to calm down no matter what. It’s easy to get my pet dog riled up. All it takes is a game of fetch or a game of chasing me around the couch. I will put him in his kennel once he is excited, wait for him to calm down and then let him back out to play some more.

5. right excessive barking or crying.

When a pet dog is first learning to stay in a kennel, it’s best to neglect any crying or barking. This teaches the pet dog that crying or barking will not result in any kind of attention. but when a kennel-trained pet dog like Ace barks in his kennel, I will right him. Ace understands that I disagree with this behavior.

I will neglect a little whining and maybe even a few yips, but if Ace’s barking escalates, I am ideal there to tell him “no.” I don’t yell, but I let him know I indicate it.

6. Make the pet dog sleep in the kennel.

Ace is used to sleeping on his pet dog bed at night, so it’s unfair to expect him to sleep in his kennel with no issues when we travel. guess what that means? One night a weeK Ou mais, Ace estará dormindo em seu canil.

7. Kennel O cão de estimação quando você se for.

Se o seu cão de estimação geralmente tem acesso a toda a casa quando você se foi, não há nada de errado em Kennel de vez em quando, quando você faz recados. É uma boa dica para o cão de estimação que muitas vezes ele ficará canela quando você for embora, e não é grande coisa.

8. Kennel O cão de estimação na casa de um amigo.

Quando o seu cão de estimação estiver quieto no canil em todos os cenários em casa, desafie -o muito mais ao Kenneling na casa do amigo. Por exemplo, se você estiver checando um amigo por algumas horas, caminhe primeiro ao seu cachorro de estimação, depois o leve e o canil por meia hora na casa do amigo. Eu só recomendo isso se o seu amigo também é uma pessoa louca de cachorro de estimação.

9. Trabalhe em áreas problemáticas.

Se o seu cão de estimação não latir no canil de forma alguma, exceto quando outros cães visitam, é nisso que você mais deve trabalhar. Convide seus amigos com seus cães e diga a eles no que você está trabalhando.

Quando meu cachorro de estimação tem um problema com algo, como latir no canil quando ele está empolgado, é fácil para mim evitar essa situação e não trabalhar nela. O problema é que, mais cedo ou mais tarde, essa situação será exibida e a ACE não será bem -sucedida porque eu não abordei o problema.

10. Sempre recompense o bom comportamento.

Se o cão de estimação está ficando quieto, deixe -o sair do canil! Volte para alguns princípios básicos, como fornecer presentes extras no canil. Se o canil representa guloseimas, segurança e relaxamento (como sempre deveria), seu cão de estimação terá prazer no treinamento do canil e seu tempo gasto no canil.

Lembre -se de que essas idéias são destinadas a cães que já foram treinados no canil. Se o seu cão de estimação não estiver acostumado a um canil, siga o básico e uma rotina. As idéias acima são indicadas para desafiar cães que já estão acostumados a um canil.

Você usa um canil? Seu cachorro de estimação late no canil?
