Crate Training Your Yorkie

Some people mistakenly look at crate training as cruel. While it is true that there are irresponsible and unethical owners out there who misuse dog crates and intend for them to be punishment, proper crate training can be beneficial to your dog and your life with them. Yorkshire Terriers are the type of breed that will take to crate training well.

Proper crate training will keep you and your dog happy in a number of ways. When choosing a crate for your dog, it is best to go with a wire crate. Wire crates are most comfortable for dogs because they can still observe the room around them while inside. These also provide the most adequate ventilation and can be easily folded up to bring on trips or collapse when more space is needed. Buying the right size crate is key, as well. A proper dog crate should be only large enough for your dog to stand up and comfortably turn around in. When dogs have crates that are too big for them, they will often begin to go potty inside one corner of the crate and sleep in another corner. Obviously, this is a habit you strongly want to discourage.

It is important to choose the place in the house in which you will set up your dog's crate. Keeping the crate away from windows or heating/air conditioning vents is best, as these areas can heat or cool to extremes. You should also pick an area where you spend time so that your dog won't be completely alone, like the living room or even in your bedroom. When crating your dog, you must be careful to remove all harnesses, collars, or tags. These items can potentially get caught in the crate and cause strangulation or other terrible injuries.

If your puppy or dog doesn't chew up blankets, it is alright to line the crate with a blanket or small doggie bed. Otherwise, sleeping on the plastic tray will be fine for them. Make sure the blanket or bedding is made from washable fabric, as there can always be accidents.

When you first introduce your new puppy to the crate, you must do so with gentle encouragement. Never force a dog to go into the crate, as this can create negative connotations for him or her regarding the crate. Your pup should think of the crate as his or her own safe place. If your puppy is reluctant to enter the crate at first, try leaving a few of his or her favorite toys inside it. If that doesn't work, lure them in with their food dish or a treat.

Start out by only leaving your puppy in the crate for a short period and walk out of the room. This should help your dog get used to the idea of being in the crate when you are not home. Gradually increase how long you leave your pup unattended in his or her crate until the dog is comfortable in their crate with your absence.

Crate training not only gives your puppy his or her own "safe place", it provides an easy way to keep your dog out of trouble that could be dangerous while you are away. It is imperative that you never use time in the crate as a punishment for your puppy lest he or she begin to fear the crate or see it as a place to go when he or she has misbehaved.
