8 Week Old Puppy -Crate Training (GIZMO the Pug)

Published 2013-11-06
This is Gizmo, an 8 week old pug. This is his first day of training and we worked on 'crate' so he would be comfortable going in their while his owner was at work. This is only the first step...keep in mind that a similar process is necessary when working on closing the door, locking it, walking away, etc. It is a slow, step by step process. When done properly you will never have a problem. Check out the next step to this, link is below

    When I first got my pug, he had to sleep in that cage for a few weeks. The poor little guy... Still, this is very cute! Look at the sweet puppy!

    I'm getting a pug at the end of summer and your really useful and I liked and subscribed 😊
  • @LindleyAppollis I couldn't reply to you directly, but you asked what kind of treats do I use. If I'm working with a new dog at someone's house, I bring in the GOOD stuff-lunch meat, boiled chicken, fat free turkey dogs, etc. Tiny Tiny pieces! But when I do board and trains, i will start with a few treats and QUICKLY wean them onto their regular dry kibble. The idea of "working for food" can really create a brain shift when they aren't eating from a bowl but actually working for it. But when I'm a new person in someone's house, I need an edge so I bring in the good stuff. Same if I go to a new area I know the dog will be uncomfortable in. If they aren't that food driven, high value treats....then wean them to kibble :) Hope that helps! And that is only the first step, don't forget to check out the next part of the video, link in description.
