Crate Training A Dog
There are some who think crate training a dog is mean and that a dog shouldn't be confined in that way. But there really are many good reasons why crate training a dog is a good idea and your dog would thank you for it if he could talk.
First off, dogs are territorial animals and they have a need to define their own territory. Sure, their territory is the whole backyard as outlined by your fence, but they need a space to call their own inside as well. A crate serves as a dog's den, his own place. It becomes a place of refuge that he can go to when he wants to take a nap or be away from too much activity. It also becomes his favorite spot to sleep at night.
A crate is good for keeping a dog out of other areas of the house. This serves two purposes; keeping the dog safe from getting into things that may harm him such as chewing wires, and also keeping your carpet clean if he's not potty trained yet. You can't always watch your dog every minute and the crate gives you some peace of mind.
In addition, crates successfully help puppies with their potty training. If the crate is just the right size and not too big, puppies will learn to hold their bladders because they don't want to soil the area where they live. You can buy a bigger crate that will fit them when they're full grown and use the partitions to block off the backend while they're smaller.
One other thing that's great about the crate is that it becomes a means of safely transporting your dog when you travel. This is especially true when you have an excited dog that's all over the place in the car or a nervous dog that would feel better confined in the car. Plus their crate with all the familiar smells becomes their home wherever you travel.
After dogs are successfully crate trained and older, you can leave the door open during the day and/or at night so they can go in and out of their "home" when they want to sleep. It's immensely comforting for them to know they have a special area that's all their own.
Crate training a dog has many advantages. It is not meant to hold them prisoner for long lengths of time and it shouldn't be used as a place of punishment. Instead, use it to help your new dog become potty trained, stay safe, and feel comfortable.
Training The Dog To Heel
The word "heel" in dog training terms actually comes from an older term "come to heel". The translation is that the dog will come to the left side of the human, with his head at the humans' knee and his feet at the human's heel. Nowadays "heel" means for the dog to walk on the left side of the human, neither forging ahead nor lagging behind. The goal is that the dog shall eventually walk off leash in the heel position when so commanded by his master.
To begin to teach the heel the first thing is to have a means of control over the dog. This can be a leash or a clicker or a treat and/or your own voice. Regardless, it is important that when you begin to teach the heel your dog is beginning to accept your leadership and will want to focus his attention on you. Having the control over the dog's attention is a big plus. If you cannot call your dog's name and see that he responds to that 60 per cent of the time, then your dog is not ready to be taught to heel.
If you have the dog's focus, it is a simple matter to teach the dog to heel. Have the leash on. Command "heel" (saying the dogs name first) and step out briskly with your left foot. Give a slight tug on the leash. If you are not using a leash but are using a treat, hold the treat directly in front of the dog's nose and lead out with your left foot. Either way, praise the dog within three to five seconds if he remains in the heel position as your are walking and continue to praise the dog each time he is in the heel position. If he lunges ahead of you, tell him "easy" and immediately give a SLIGHT tug on the leash and stop walking forward until he also stops, whereupon you simply immediately catch up to him, with the dog on your left side and immediately begin to walk briskly forward again, giving the command "heel" again as you start off. Walk forward at least 10 feet before you stop. When you are going to stop, precede this action by a slight slowing of your walk and the command "slow". Then simply stop walking. When you do stop, require that the dog sit immediately when you stop. If he does not sit on command, simply push him down or lure him down into the sit. It is important that you say "sit" only once. Repeating it several times merely makes the dog think that you don't really mean it when you say "sit".
If you are going to be showing your dog in conformation and do not want him to sit each time you stop, no problem. You still should be teaching the heel for if you teach him this vital command he will easily switch from walking beside you to trotting beside you. All you have to do is simply teach him the "stand" command when you stop.
Once you have the dog walking on a fairly consistent basis at your side, without lunging, you are well on the way to having a dog that is mannerly when going out and about with you. Now you are ready to take the dog with you LOTS of places and consistently have him heel when you are out and about. Make sure that when you do have him "heel" it is for a purpose OTHER than out for a "potty walk" as this should be a relaxed and totally different sort of walking.
Dawggies mah! xD
