Unlike dog training in general which now has a general concensus of doggy authors, TV contributors, and internet experts, all in agreement on the general course which dog training should take...
[Which is - training with kindness, patience, praise and treats for performing any desired behaviour. Using treat based distractions to get your pet to concentrate on what you desire and ignore anything else. And remembering to train your pet that you are top dog and pack leader - by eating first, going in and out of doors first, deciding which way you are heading on your walk, and petting your dog when you want not when he or she asks for attention...]
Crate training receives diverse reactions from the experts. Some are in favour, some against, some maybe, or under special circumstances.
I am in the 'under special circumstances' group!
You must check out the opinion of your favourite experts and make up your own mind. That is why I recommend that you use as many of the information resources [which are mentioned within the various posts on this blog] as you can get your hands on - study all you can, learn all you can, and remember that the welfare of YOUR pet is the most important thing at issue here.
I will go more deeply into this issue in my next post and define what I mean by 'under special circumstances'.
(You can find links to my recommendations for TV programmes, internet resources [in the right-hand margin], and books within previous blog posts about the available experts in greater detail.)
