Crate Training Your Dog the RIGHT Way (Why Most Methods Backfire)

Описание: Crate training can be incredibly helpful — OR it can completely backfire if it’s rushed or handled the wrong way.

In this video, we’re breaking down why crate training so often goes wrong, why dogs aren’t “naturally den animals,” and how to introduce the crate in a calm, thoughtful way so it becomes a safe, positive space — not a battle zone!

Whether you’re working with:
• A new puppy
• An adult dog who panics in the crate
• A dog who barks, cries, digs, or claws when confined

This video gives you the big-picture roadmap for crate training without forcing, flooding, or accidentally poisoning the crate.

🐶 Important note: Crate training isn’t about shutting your dog away — it’s about helping them feel safe enough to rest.
