Juno is already so much better since filming this video! Settling almost instantly when we put her in. Still working on leaving the room without her stressing out but we are seeing great progress :) thanks Kayl!!
Omg I am sooo happy I found this video! I just brought home a Dachsund and last night was horrible
Is she a mini dachshund? I'm considering getting a 4 month old little one and wondering if this would be her size.
@@jsmum196 She is a bit bigger than a mini, she's grown to be about 15lbs now after 1 year!
OH MY GOD, THIS WORKS LIKE MAGIC! My puppies were crying like they were getting slaughtered and now they're sleeping peacefully in their crate. You guys brought peace to our lives. Thank you so much! 💖💖
My mini dachshund/Yorkie mix's name is Juno too! First morning with the new puppy and she's terrified of EVERYTHING! Trying to get her to go potty outside, but the grass is too scary for her and she keeps trying to crawl up my leg. However, the crate is now her favorite place. 😕🙃 Edit: 3 days later - grass is fun and fascinating, and the crate is a horrible prison at 1am!
We get our puppy in June. Been binge watching McCann videos in preparation. Cuz it’s been years since we’ve raised a puppy. Cuz happily, our dogs lived such long lives. Juno is a sweetheart.
I love that you show the puppy owner how to train their dog instead of doing it directly! It’s very useful to see😊
So thankful for these videos. We’ve been crate training our puppy since the first day we got her home following your videos and have made great progress. Will take note of saying “quiet” in a neutral tone
My 15 weeks GSD is relaxing in her crate after a morning training session. She playing with her squeaky toy. For me, ignoring her on first day solve the problem for me when she was 6 weeks. I turn on the oven vent. Which help her to sleep. She good now. I don't even used the oven vent anymore. When I leave for a hour or 2. She doesn't whine or bark. I have cameras setup to see her behavior. She either sleeping or playing.
This was SO interesting!! Love this format of talking through the theory with a new puppy owner
This video was so helpful! Thank you!
This is a great video! What I love is that you're not only training the puppy but you're training the owner as well. She's got great questions and the information you provided her applies to our situation too. As puppy owners, training us is just as important :)
This channel is AWESOME. Congratulations and thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge! ❤❤❤❤
my puppy is 10 months and we’re taking crate training more seriously. This video has been the most helpful to stop the crying
Juno is truly a cute and bright Doxie. While the training lesson today is excellent.
Wow...great progression in the training
All very good info, I love your crate training videos. They have helped a lot.
This was great! We pick up our puppy tomorrow. We watch so many of your videos to prepare. So excited.
Hello 👋
You guys are awesome. Thanks.
this helped a ton thanks so much!
This lady is talented. I like her videos. My mother watched her videos constantly to train her two aussie pups.
I'm bringing home 2 aussie pups in a few weeks, this has become my favorite channel. Can't wait to get into training.
I have a 7 week old Double Doodle. And watching your videos have helped me so much with training him. Thank you so much 😊🙏
What the heck is a Double Doodle??
Oh, I am happy to keep learning along. My male puppy is going on 11 mths., Soon. He has learned to enjoy the space of his kennel for travel and time out, now. It is mostly for ease of transport but is a requirement in an apartment living space if there is a need for services and such. It is TSA has the food dishes in stainless a needed option for plastic related acne which can be infected hair follicles or lesions. I am so happy with the thicker bedding also since he has room enough for it. I am pleased to try all the advice out there with giving hints and expectations of time in or out for different times.
Hello 👋
Juno is adorable! I'm getting my golden retriever puppy this Friday, so I've been binging all of your videos!
:)
How is your puppy?
Such great videos! Excited to start our training in person 8/31. Curious though, does any of these approaches change if its less of a wimper and more of a all out bark? My guy is 9 weeks...
We just got our puppy on Sunday and I’ve been binge watching McCann videos ❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations! Happy Training!
Juno is pretty darn cute ❤
❤🐶🐶❤️Thank you!!!
This is great, like all your videos! My current problem is how to stop our 3-yo barking in the crate only in the morning! She loves her crate, but is very demanding in the AM. We try ignoring or even going into the guest room. I don't know what else to do!
You guys are so amazing. We just acquired a 5 month old golden. He has never been crate trained and barks incessantly all night. Should we just begin with the training method you suggest as if he were an 8 week puppy? Thanks so much for your videos.
Hi, Brought home a lovely Labrador puppy who is 9 weeks old and finding your videos very helpful. Love your positive reinforcement methods. Any advice to help my dog not eat his own poop? Don’t want him thinking any animals poop is good to eat on walks once he’s fully vaccinated. Thanks!
This is the exact situation that I am in and this is my issues and actually seeing dog that have similar issues
Great video McCann team! Our grand-doggie Juno is SO smart, ain't she? 😊🐕🌭
Hello 👋
Hi. I just discovered your channel and am so excited to watch your content. We will be bringing our new puppy home at the end of January so I have some time to get back up to speed (it’s been over ten years since we had a puppy in the house!). One question which I didn’t see answered in your list of video titles - do you have recommendations on what to do when you have a long drive to get home with your new puppy? We are picking up our puppy from an out of state breeder and it will take us approximately seven-eight hours to get home. What should we do with her during that time? What about food, water, crating, etc. I don’t want her first trip in a car to be too stressful either. Thanks so much! (This subject could make a good video 😉)
Hello 👋
She’s so adorable 🥰💖
I’m sat here watching with my 14 week old cocker spaniel hoping he’s learning something from this😆
Oh. My. Gosh. I have to start out with Admittedly my biggest issue was defaulting into passive training mode where I would correct while I was working on something else. This forced me into a mindful training mindset, and it not only trained my dog to not bark in the kennel. I came out with a perspective I am now utilizing for training and even other life skills. This technique worked really well. Now how do I train the other humans in the house to stop talking to dogs as if they were humans. They are depreciating the value of the dogs names!!!
We just brought home 2 8-week old puppies. Crate training isn’t going well (yet). They feed off each others’ barking and whining. This video gives me hope.
Same boat right now
Put their crates in separate rooms.
The hardest part for me to understand in crate training is I have to go back to work. I can take a week off when puppy first comes home but not more than that.
Oh boy thats a very short span in time, normally you would give up summer holiday's for it, like 3 or 4 wks
@@anoukduarte3984 I'm guessing OP lives in America, like me. Even good companies will typically only allow a max of 2 weeks off for vacation per year. Most places, it's only 1 week for vacation and another week for sick leave.
Many years ago, I had adopted a puppy last minute on a weekend. No planning time. I worked in a law office and brought the puppy to work with me first day, full of apologies. Had a conversation with my boss and brainstormed how I might be able to come back and forth during the day to break up crate time at home. To my absolute delight, the boss said, “Carol, why don’t you just bring the pup with you everyday for a few months to work through the puppy training”. What??? I would never have asked! Turned out that the clients LOVED having the dog there and she became quite a little ambassador for the office. She would comfort stressed clients and was even welcomed into the courthouse when I walked over there to do my daily filing. I know this would not work at most jobs, but I certainly never imagined it could work in my situation. Next puppy, hubby and I took turns coming home during the day so the pup had attention twice each workday for a walk and some people time. That pup did really well too. Good luck!
LOL! We were sitting for the. Grand-dogger and dealing with her screaming in the crate (separation anxiety?). I was being sarcastic with hubby and set my tablet down in front of the crate with a KZhead video going and to my absolute astonishment, the dog laid down and settled. A friend’s rescued dog had destroyed a metal crate and asked for help. We did some crate games and to practice leaving the house, we took doggo for a walk, placed doggo in the crate, turned on an audio book and left. It was MAGIC.
@@carolschedler3832 These are excellent tips! Thanks for sharig!
Hi there 👋🏻 I love your channel and following all your tips and tricks, you guys are amazing at what you do!! I’ve just adopted two 1 year pugs, they are lovely dogs with my children and VERY loving babies however they haven’t learnt one bit of basic training not even to sit etc they are very excited and when I’ve attempted to train they won’t keep still enough to focus on what I’m saying/ trying to show….. my question is how can I train a older dog basic commands and will the other follow if they see one so it first? Thankyou very much in advance!! 😊 xxxx
Hey 👋
I always struggle with my puppy staying in her crate if I leave the door open. sometimes I’ve left the door unlocked with just the blanket over it and she eventually comes out. If I close the door and cover it she will maybe whine the first 5min then settle until it’s time to come out but I’d like to be able to leave the door open so she doesn’t feel trapped but get her to understand not to come out unless I release her. She’s an 18 w/o mini goldendoodle.
You make it look easy....my 8 week Cavapoo screams the sec he goes in the crate.
I have 4 huskies that I’ve raised from 7 weeks old. I have to say I absolutely agree with everything
I got my puppy at 5 weeks sunday and got him home Monday morning and he is doing much better with not crying in his kennel unless he needs to go out and I’ll get little whimpers from him sometimes and I’m working on doing my best is it to early to teach anything like his name or luring or any of the things y’all say to start at 8 week or can I start from the beginning of the training now and just keep up with all of it or is there a mistake I can make because of him being so young he’s a pitsky so adorable
My Husky puppy abosulely freaks out when I put him in the crate. He is about 9-10 weeks old. I feed him in his crate to get him used to it, but when I shut the door he looses it. I tried all the methods in your videos, using my voice, tapping on the crate, etc. Nothing seems to really help. If I leave my puppies sight then he starts crying right away, but it's especially bad in the crate.
have you tried closing the door slowly? like, one day you move it just a little bit,the other day you move it more, and more, and nore until its finally closed. Or shutting the door when he is doing something? Like eating inside the crate or chewing on a toy. That worked for my pup
Exercising them beforehand always helps whether it's a longer walk or a really good play session that way they're calmer and have had that bit of happy hormones from the exercise. Often if a puppy hasn't had enough of an outlet before having to settle they'll just go berserk and bark up a storm especially a high energy breed like a husky that was bred to run for miles a day.
hows it going
He is doing so much better! Still whines sometimes when I put him in his crate, but he always settles down eventually and is sleeping through the night in his crate.
Or maybe keep going and don’t give up. Keep doing it
Question: is it ever okay to allow your puppy to take a nap on you? We haven’t been allowing this since we want him to only sleep in his kennel. When is it okay to allow this?
My puppy will enter and stay with a food dispenser toy in her crate,with the door closed. She knows that entering in the crate is wonderful because I teach her with another of your videos, she knows she receives a treat when she goes in. It wasnt stressful at all because she catched it quickly. But as soon as the toys is empty, she will start to try to get off the crate. I dont know why she doesn't want to stay. Its because its summer and its too hot here? Maybe the floor of my house is colder than the floor of the crate.
What treats are you using?
Hi. Im Dewi from Sydney, Australia. I have questions, what kind of good treat for puppies to train them? Sausages or chicken?
I’ve been watching your video, been so helpful but I’m find the crate training so difficult. He’s fine with the door closed if I’m sat next to it. I tried this technique above for walking out the room. No amount of quiets, ignoring or time stops him jumping, crying and clawing at the crate😅 eventually I have to come back over, which is teaching him I come back when he cry’s. I don’t open the crate straight away. I go back to stage 1 to end it well before I let him out. I don’t know what to do 😅
And now he won’t even go to his open crate to sleep. I’m worried I’m it’s going completely the opposite way.
What type of little treats can I pre purchase before we pick our puppy up? Also Best food to transfer her to?
Hi 👋
Should we be rewarding the dog when they come out of the crate? I thought I read somewhere to only reward while IN the crate?
My puppy doesn't like my friends just giving me high five or when they are close to me, she starts to bark without stop. What should I do?
great video, @effie we are dealing with the same stuff atm. Can I ask what treats are you using? Thx
How long does it take to crate train the puppy? My puppy hates it she rather be in the room and I don’t know what to do. I’ve never crate my dogs before.
My doxie puppy wants nothing to do with treats, I've tried so many. It makes this training SO much harder it's frustrating ...
This is so strange, my name is Effie, my puppy is called Juno, we're picking her up this weekend
Haha wow that’s wild!! Hope it’s going well with your pup!
My puppy doesn’t settle. She barks after like 2 minutes and doesn’t stop.
Could the same tips be used for a 1yo dog?
I'm sure it would! Exercise the dog first and make sure they're tired. It will help for sure!
You have to put in the time early out smart them they don’t use the internet 🎉
The hardest part for me is my puppy doesn’t settle. Even when he lays down he whines. He literally only stops when he falls asleep. I need help!!
What is the 80 20 rule in dog training?
What size (rough dimensions) crate do you use for puppies? I’m getting an 8 week golden retriever and I’m very confused.
Get a crate for their full size and use a divider to make it smaller as they grow into it.
I want to see a puppy that’s going nuts for 10 minutes while you sit there waiting for her to calm down. My puppy freaks out and she’s only been home for two weeks. I keep telling her to down and she will for two seconds but it takes 10-15 minutes just to open the door. She can “stay” outside the crate so it’s confusing.
I have a question, what do you recommend for puppy treats, i have a 8week old that’s partially food motivated but if I keep using the same lamb and salmon flavored treat I’ll start to loose his interest, I switch it between a handful of his puppy food and the puppy treat but sometimes I’ll just loose his interest, any tips or recommendations on some puppy treats flavors or brands? :) I’d appreciate it hugely thanks!
Sorry also if there’s any training tips is it possibly me and my timing of responding or if it’s the treats, thank you! :)
you can use pup regular food like instead of giving free breakfast you use his breakfast as treats for training and whatever is left after training(if anything is left) you give them as big reward for finishing the training. its conditions the dog to get used to work with you
@@-Leerz some dogs are just not food motivated. but if you dont free feed them, they will be
train before a meal and just use his kibble. If puppy is still not motivated, perhaps you are overfeeding? most puppies attack their meals as if they are starving!
I have been trying to crate trains my 10w old Great Dane and we have a schedule and keep a very close eye on him but he keeps having accidents inside the crate 😩 has any have this issue before? Any ideas on how to fix it?
Are you taking him out regularly (like every hour), because at first that's what you have to do. Our puppy was very good outside but still didn't know the difference between inside and outside. I would just keep doing that until he's a bit older (and you may have solved this by now).
I have a Black Labradoodle she’s around 4 months her name is Angel and her birthday is July 18th 2022 I got her at October for my birthday present, for a four month old puppy she’s pretty good at fetch she’s really good at set she’s 4/10 when it comes to lay down and sometimes she’s a 10 for “come” in sometime she’s a one, she’s OK at ”pray” like maybe 4.1/10 she knows how to ring the bells go outside almost too well like a annoyingly well “😡😑🙄/10” and she knows how to let me know that she wants right back inside😮💨😑❤️ so I guess I’m asking like can you help me with some stuff like maybe make a video on it or just comment on this. editing and for the age she is she’s OK on leash
Hello 👋
@@walterwalter1448 hi
@@shae8343 How are you doing?
Can we cover the crate with a blanket? Would that make them feel secure if so?
I find the blanket covering is good if the crate area is drafty and cold. Otherwise my pup likes to see me or be able to see me re enter the room. Make sure the blanket is not reachable by the dog in the crate, as it is more to chew on and not a toy.
Help please!! Picking up my puppy today and lady says to use the playpen instead of a crate because that is what they are use to. I’ve been watching your videos and was sold on crate training. What are your thoughts? ❤
Puppies can always benefit from crate training! A play pen I feel like is way more freedom than a kennel and dogs don't need that much freedom when kenneled
Hi, Congratulations on getting your puppy. Did you crate train? How is it going? Thanks
how do you deal with 2 puppies for the first time!!??
What are u using for treats for the session
Hey, friend, I'll try to answer you. Listen, as far as I know, you should never give your dog "free food". Instead, they should "earn" the food through a behavior you want. So the treats during training are usually the own dog's regular food, no need to buy new stuff. This means you can get the total amount of food of the day and separate it into portions: some for training sessions and some for regular moments. A training session would be something more complex, like new tricks, crate training, etc. Anything you guys are still working. A "regular moment" can be giving them food after they do the tricks they ALREADY know, such as sit, down, roll over... If your dog hasn't leaned any tricks tho, it can be something as simple as stop jumping/barking to the plate of food in your hand ou sitting as to wait for you to put the plate on the floor. None of us have time for so many training sessions per day, right? 😅 Just remember to keep an eye on the amount of food, avoid giving them more food than they should eat in a single day, ok? Good luck!
@@limanino I appreciate you taking the time to explain all that. First time pup owner so trying to learn as much as possible to give her the best life possible
What if your dog is very aggressive when you leave the room. Im trying to get to that point but he starts scratching at the crate door and hurts himself 😢
My puppy takes a temper tantrum Screams constantly
Camo puppies? How beautiful she is.
So I just got this puppy she is a year old she has separation anxiety she cry’s when she is in the crate and I leave she cry’s for a while the. Is ok in like 5 or @0 min she is 1 year old rescue hhheeelllppp
"Quiet? Quiet!"
I notice you don't use the wire crates. Is there a reason for that?
Hello 👋
My adult dog was never crate trained and has horrible separation anxiety. He literally barks for hours if hes left alone anywhere, in the crate or not. In the crate is so bad he wont even go in it on his own, no matter how many treats i give him.
I have had my 14 week old puppy for 2 weeks now. If I put him in the crate and leave the room, he screams and howls.
So sad to haces dog I. A crib put yourself first for a while and after just close it and play with your puppy I never put mine and she listens very well just love
Struggling with our frenchie sleeping at night in his crate... the day hes fine ugh help
Nothing is working for our 8 week old puppy
remove the collar too if the pup will stay in the crate unsupervised, not only the leash
2nd comment
What if I do if my puppy doesn't like ANY treats I try to give her??? Please help!! I have tried literally 8 different kinds!!!
only train after a hard exercise right before a meal, then just use their kibble. Most puppies attack a meal as if they haven't eaten for a week, so they are very motivated for that training kibble.
Oh my gosh, wiener puppies…my ❤️. Miss my Phoenix and Beatrice!😢
my dog hates his crate' what am I doing wrong?????
My 9 week old heeler whines to the point of a howl very quickly. Maybe 3 minutes 😰
Need HELP‼️
mine cries for an hour!
My puppy gets so upset she poops in her crate
I am not for crate trainings, even though i can do it? I dont need a moment in the shower alone. Wife, cat and dog comes in, heck not even the toilet is a sacred place...... I find crate training kinda of unnecessary with all the tools we have today. I mean puppy pen's, babygates, doors ect? Why do we want to crate a pup? It might be a descendant of wolf, but they are house dogs now. So really do not understand why its so importend to learn a pup to be in a iron cage to learn them later.... they dont need it..... -_- Besides all that? Like the training method and good job in explaining asfar as possible. Pup got lost a couple of times, scratching and licking gave it away.... Peeping, barking? They all do that ;) Be happy you didnt get sjit right away lol
You add an extra vowel to almost every word with one when you speak. Could we train that out of you? It's verging on baby talk and making me want to implode.
