Crate Training German Shepherd

Crate Training German Shepherd

German Shepherds are one of the more popular breeds in the USA and it is important to buy these dogs from a reputable breeder. It is also possible to buy German online, but there are many things you need to consider before doing so. First and foremost you need to make sure that the German Shepherd puppy you buy has been given the proper health care, including vaccinations.

A German Shepherd puppy will need a crate to help him settle when he is still a puppy. In his crate he should be able to rest and sleep comfortably and if you can choose a crate that allows your dog some out of doors time each day this will make life easier as he gets older. There should be at least one hour of outside time with another hour in the crate. Your German Shepherd puppy will need to go into his crate for several reasons, including playing and sleeping.

One of the things that many owners do not realize about their German Shepherd is that they have short noses.

This means that they will put their tongues into their food bowl or mouth the minute that they sit in their crate. If you buy a dog from a reputable breeder, they will be able to fit the dog’s mouth with the spoon part of the cookie jar easily. This should not be a problem as most breeders do this when they are grooming the animals.

You do want to make sure that the animal is always kept clean, but this should not be done very often as dogs tend to develop a dislike towards it. You can buy a nice plastic storage box for the dog to sleep in and even add a door on top of the box to keep the door shut so the dog cannot open the door while he is in the crate.

It is not a good idea to allow your dog to sleep in his crate for more than five to ten minutes at a time. The longer your dog spends in his crate the more he will get used to it and the less likely he will want to go out of his crate. You should always make sure to supervise playtime inside of the crate. If your dog has any behavior problems during playtime you should take him out of his crate as soon as possible and separate him from the play session.

You should place kibble in the bottom of the crate before you bring your dog home. After the dog has had time to settle down and have some good exercise you can start putting canned food in the top of the crate. This will take time to adjust but the dog will eventually know what to expect when he gets to eat his kibble. As long as the dog’s needs are met in this manner you will have no problem.

When the puppy is in his crate for longer periods of time you should remove him from the crate and move him around the house more frequently.

You should also spend more time with the dog so that he becomes accustomed to being handled by you. The first few days you won’t want to leave your dog alone in his crate, but gradually you will move closer to his crate so that you can walk around with him. Be prepared to spend some extra time in the crate at first as the puppy may need to learn how to relieve himself in his crate

The goal of crate training your German Shepherd is to make sure that your dog’s bladder and bowels are trained. It will also teach the dog to be a harmless, tranquil dog who remains calm and quiet in his crate all day. A well-behaved dog is a joy to have around, and crate training can help you and your dog enjoy this benefit.

Crate training your German Shepherd should take no more than a few days. Within that time you should have no issues. Your dog will soon realize that the time he spends in his crate is a special time and he will try to have his friends over to stay over if only for a little bit.
