IMO crate training is one of the most effective way of training a puppy when i comes to housebreaking. it is all about consistency and patiences on the owner part.
when you give a dog to much room at the beginning to do run around the house...then they will go where ever is convenient...so you have to slowly introduce them to more and more freedom.
yes they will cry and whimper inside the crate...but you can't give in...you have to teach them that unless they can quiet down then they can't come out...because if you bring them out each time they cry and scream...then they will associated that with their freedom and will do that each time...
hope that helps... |
