Specific feeding habits should be established with your dog. Develop a feeding schedule, and be consistent with the routines so you can teach your dog what to expect and how to behave. Your dog will soon become accustomed to his feeding schedule and eat quickly.
Reward good behavior during training with control. You and the dog should both remain calm. This will help to excite your dog and leave you in complete control. Stay calm, require calm from the dog, and give the reward.
Use the right size crate for effective crate training. Keep in mind that puppies grow big. Choose a crate that works both for puppy and mature sizes. Generally speaking, your pet should be able to circle, sit and sleep without discomfort.
