Don’t Shut the Crate Door Until You Do This

"How can you expect me to supervise my puppy 24 hours a day?" We hear this question constantly from busy puppy owners. The truth is, you can't watch them every second, and trying to will only lead to burnout. In this video, Instructor Steve and Instructor Jade show you how to turn the Crate into your ultimate management tool. We break it down into 3 simple steps to make your puppy think the crate is the "best seat in the house," so you can keep them safe (and your house clean) while you live your life. What We Cover: - How to use your puppy's natural "Opposition Reflex" to build drive to go in. - Why you should feed high-value treats in the back (and boring kibble outside!). - The "Open Door" rule: Teaching your puppy to wait for permission to exit. - When to actually close the door without causing panic. The first month at home is critical to your puppy’s success. Our new first month Puppy Training Journal makes it easy to track routines, measure progress, and stay consistent, so you can train with confidence.
