How To Crate Train Your Baby
Crate training your Bichon Frise may take some time and effort, but can be useful in a variety of situations. When you get your baby from me, he has already been training and should go home just fine to go in a crate. You can use the crate to limit his access to the house until he learns all the house rules - like what he can and can't chew on and where he can and can't eliminate .Like putting baby in a play pen. You might want to do it while you are cooking or taking a shower. Anytime the puppy can’t be supervised. A crate is also a safe way of transporting your dog in the car, as well as a way of taking him places where he may not be welcome to run freely. If you properly train your dog to use the crate, he'll think of it as his safe place and will be happy to spend time there when needed.
Selecting a crate: Crates will be plastic, (often called flight kennels or Vari-Kennels) or collapsible, metal pens. They come in different sizes and can be purchased at most pet supply stores. Your dog's crate should be just large enough for him to stand up and turn around.
The crate training process:
Crate training can take days or weeks, depending on your dog's age, temperament and past experiences. It's important to keep a few things in mind while crate training. They like their crate to be like a den with a blanket halfway over it. They like it clean. The cleaner you can keep it, the cleaner they will keep it. The crate should always be associated with something pleasant, and training should take place in a series of small steps - don't go too fast. . Do not communicate after your puppy has been put in the kennel other than, saying kennel up, or good. something simple. No eye contact, no talking. Act like he is not there. If you give him the slightest attention positive or negative, he will want more. Only attention is when he is outside of the crate. If whining and barking is going on it’s cause they want out. Don't give in, otherwise you'll teach your dog to whine loudly to get what he wants. Yelling at him or pounding on the crate will only make things worse.. This is a SLOW PROCESS. With lots of good things in and around the crate. If there is action going on and you put your Bichon up while in the room of the action, there is a good chance he will cry and whine, he wants to be a part of it. Crate train when there is nothing exciting going on and he has played out his wiggles. Kids are outside, everyone is sitting and watching a movie. When ever it is quiet and no distractions. Sometimes, They like to hear some soothing music or the Television on to keep them company and drowned out any outside noise. Especially when you are away and maybe sometimes at night. Again, my families get more details on this easy matter.
Baby love's the babies. Look at that tongue action! Both babies are safe
