Crate time
Crate training is all about creating a positive relationship. The easiest way to do this is with something they already love.... FOOD.
Meals in the crate help puppies:
• Create a positive association
• Learn to settle in their own space
• Build independence (without stress)
• Prevent future crate resistance
Right now, it is not about forcing a duration, but teaching them that this space is safe, predictable, and theirs.
Small, intentional moments shaping confident, adaptable dogs.
