			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the next step in <a target="_blank" title="Puppy Crate Training" href="http://www.puppycratetraining.org/">puppy crate training</a>.  After a few times of getting your new puppy used to going in and out of the crate you will want to start short periods of closing the door.Start with you being in the room with your puppies for brief sections of time, while you are praising them for being good in their crate.Then leave the room that the crate is in and then re-enter. and put a treat in the crate for your puppies to be rewarded with.</p>
<p>You will then want to gradually extend your time out of the room to get your puppy used to you not being there.Some pups will hollar at the top of their lungs the second you shut the door, this is common and should be ignored.If you happen to open the crate when your puppies are complaining, then that just makes them associate whining with you opening the crate door for them.</p>
<p>Patiently wait until your puppy stops screaming and let them out.Your puppies will learn to like the crate over time and begin to feel comfortable inside and stop the noise.I realize that is it difficult when your small pup is whining to get out, do your best to not give in and you&#8217;ll be happy you did.   Puppy whining is definitely one of the harder aspects of <em><a target="_blank" title="Puppy Crate Training" href="http://www.puppycratetraining.org/">puppy crate training</a></em>.</p>
<p>Your puppy will soon start to love it&#8217;s crate and you might even see it go in the crate by itself to chill out.Remember that your pup&#8217;s crate should never be a place you put it after it is bad.To have your puppy love it&#8217;s crate and be safe and secure inside is your main goal.You also don&#8217;t want to leave your pup by itself in the house at any time.</p>
<p>Most puppies are very mischievous and will quickly start exploring things that you don&#8217;t want them to.This is not only a problem to the owner, but can be very detrimental to your pup.If you can&#8217;t watch over your pup because you have something to do in the house, you can place it in the crate until you are finished.</p>
<p>After your puppy is in the crate for a short period of time, immediately take it outside and wait for it to use the bathroom.When your pup uses the bathroom outside, make sure to begin praises it right at that moment.Your desire is to teach your pup that this behavior is the thing that you want it to perform.</p>
<p>Here you can use another command such as &#8220;Good Potty&#8221;, &#8220;Good Bathroom&#8221;, or &#8220;Good Outside&#8221;.  Your puppy will soon begin to associate this command with using the bathroom outside.When your puppies are done you can bring them back inside.Don&#8217;t forget pups can only hold it so long without going to the potty so do this process a lot&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;consistency counts when <strong><a target="_blank" title="Puppy Crate Training" href="http://www.puppycratetraining.org/">puppy crate training</a></strong>!!!</p>
