There are different tricks you can try when you are crate training your dog. If they shy away from the crate, try placing a chew bone and shutting its gate when they are not inside. Your dog will want the bone and will be unable to resist entering the crate. When he finally goes into the crate to retrieve the toy, shower the dog with praise.
Always be ready with dog treats. You want your pet to know that you are pleased with his behavior. Rewarding good behavior and not bad behavior will help your dog to learn the difference between the two.
It is important to leash-train your dog. This will make sure you are both safe when talking walks.
