Hi, I’m Gemma, a certified dog trainer and lifelong dog lover. I created this step-by-step crate training guide to help make life easier for you and your pup.
Whether you’ve just brought home a new puppy or you’re working with an older dog, crate training can be a total game-changer, but only when it’s done with patience, kindness and consistency.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to introduce the crate in a positive way, avoid common mistakes, and build a routine that works for both of you. My goal is to help your dog feel safe, calm and confident in their crate and to help you feel supported every step of the way.
Here’s what’s inside:
How crate training helps with toilet training and routine
Choosing the right crate for your dog’s breed and size
Making the crate feel like a safe, cosy space (never a punishment)
Building positive associations using food, toys and routine
Night-time crate tips and how to avoid barking or whining
Troubleshooting common crate challenges
What to do if your dog is anxious or refuses to go in
Tips for crating more than one dog
Using the crate during travel or when you're out of the house
Knowing when it’s time to transition away from crating
If you’ve ever felt unsure about using a crate or just want some reassurance that you’re doing it right, this E-Book is for you.
Thanks so much for supporting my small business, and I hope you find this guide genuinely helpful and if you have any questions do please reach out!
