He's cute, even adorable. He follows you everywhere and given the chance he'll protect you to death. No, I'm not talking about a new boyfriend; you just got a puppy. Although the tips in this article apply to both men and women, I will mostly talk to my girl friends out there because I've found that they don't like the idea of crate training. Oh! They do it, but not by choice.

The first thing you need to accept is that crate training is NOT a punishment. That adorable puppy has genes that tell him he should have a den. You see, a den to him signifies security and comfort. Do not treat it as punishment. You can be sure that he or she is happy that you provided a private place for him to rest.

OK. So now you should be convinced that you are doing a good thing. The second thing to know is that you can take advantage of the fact that your new puppy really is into this crate thing. Use it to your advantage and start housebreaking training. It is a fact that dogs have the tendency of not soiling its place. I know, you are wishing your boyfriend had the same tendencies; but this is something that works to your advantage as well. As long as you don't keep him in there the entire day, and I mean the puppy, you'll get the chance to establish some type of schedule for the dog to relief himself. Even if you don't realize it, you are creating an environment of harmony where you and your pet will share for years to come.

And the third thing I want you to know about crate training is that it reduces separation anxiety. It took me three months but when I came out from that crate I was over her for good. OK, I'm just kidding; it only took me a week. But seriously, I've seen dogs destroy an entire house by the time the owner came home from work. Pillows destroyed, furniture chewed out, and there is always the danger of a puppy chewing electrical cords and such.

So to recap: you are doing a good thing for your dog when you crate train him. Use the crate to your advantage by housebreaking your dog; do not use it as a punishment, and give the crate to the ex-boyfriend if you really want him to move on.
