Many people think that it is not a good idea to put a Puggle out for crate training. They think that it is not right to put a family member in such training. One thing to keep in mind is that a Puggle is not a child and therefore requires a crate to help simulate a ‘den’ atmosphere that a dog might use in the wild. Dogs like to have their own place where they feel safe and also a comfortable place to rest.
Uses of a crate: Building the crate properly can help a dog a lot. Your puggle will enjoy the box in a big way. The crate will give the dog a place where he can have a quiet environment. The Puggle can stay inside the box with his ‘package’ and not disturb the guests.
Crates can also be transported and is a necessary requirement while you are with the dog on public transportation such as plane or train travel. In general, most dogs do not like messy and messy bedrooms. Therefore, you need to train them not to litter the box and do their business elsewhere. Dogs should be brought outdoors and help train them to dispose of their belongings in the proper place.
The most important part of box training is the time consumption. Nothing should be rushed; It must be done slowly and steadily. Be patient as your puggle begins to do things voluntarily without instructions. The Puggle should not be frightened or terrified by forcing everything.
Clicker training: It is very useful to effectively train dogs. Stand some distance from the box and don’t make any moves. After doing this, have the Puggle come back to you for a treat. Initially, if the dog steps forward, treat the dog. Keep doing this as the dog keeps moving forward. Later, give the dog some extra treats or a “jackpot.” If the dog bumps into him or pokes him with his nose, click every step he takes and reward him. This will help relieve pressure on the dog. The main goal behind this training is to convince the dog that a crate is useful and good and that he should not be afraid of it.
After the puggle goes into the box, wait for the click and keep extending it each time. Don’t rush and let the dog get comfortable. There is a certain limit for a dog to stay in a cage. Always keep in mind that a Puggle should be left in a cage for more than nine hours.
Dogs have a habit of messing up their cages or ‘dens’. Puggles are not vindictive. Don’t get mad, just give the puggle a little more time. Using a crate in the right way can bring peace and happiness to both the owner and the dog.
