Crate Training

Crate training! We are working on adding the verbal cue “crate time” as well as increasing the duration between the door being closed and being rewarded. The door closing her inside predicts good things! • • • This exact step is to give the verbal cue, then the hand-signal and wait for the dog to go in the crate (no treats in hand). When they do close the door, count 5 seconds and then feed a few treats through the door, open and let exit at will. • • • The 2nd trial in this video is a great example of giving the cue once and then allowing the dog time to think about it. Angel learned sit recently and so she is guessing that’s probably what I want, it doesn’t take long for her to try something else which happens to be what I wanted! #rewardbaseddogtraining #cratetraining #samoyedpuppy #samoyed #dogtraining #usefood #treatpride
