Crates Are Not Only for Naughty Dogs

I saw an ad for a dog crate that was for sale and the seller said something to the effect of the crate being for those times when your dog is naughty. That caused me to believe that the seller of the crate felt that the only time a dog should go in a crate is when he or she is naughty.

Now, we use crates quite a bit, and now that I'm going through a pack structure training program with our younger dogs, we use them even more. In our use of crates we see that dogs don't necessarily feel "punished" when they are in their crate. In fact, many of them are more comfortable there than anywhere else. It becomes their "place, their "spot," their security when things are going nutso around them (think New Year's Eve fireworks going off for hours everywhere).

After reading that ad, I just had to say that crates are not only for "naughty" dogs. Yes, they can be used in training, but they can also be very beneficial to the health and well being of your dog. It's not just a mean punishment to put a dog in a crate.

Pitbull Training Help

Lots of people ask about pitbull training. Our dogs are not house trained because they don't live in the house, but they are all crate trained. Most of what we know we either watched on Dog Whisperer or we read in training manuals and products. We share a couple of these resources on our website on the Pitbull Information page and even more on our Training Resources page.

Today I came across another resource that I thought I'd share with you. This one is simply called Pit Bull Training.

If you have unwanted behaviors you'd like to eliminate in your dog, maybe this resource can help.

Here's just some of what you'll discover...

• The silly mistake most people make when trying to train their Pit Bulls ...and how it can actually make your dog harder to train.

• The number one reason Pit Bulls do anything ...and how to tap into this amazing driving force behind Pit Bull behavior.

• The simple "anchor" method that cuts training time by as much as 71% ...and makes Pit Bulls obey you like they were operated by remote control!
