It is not peculiar for a dog owner, particularly first timers, to doubt whether or not the crate will make a highly effective yorkie training tool. That’s because in their viewpoint, the crate is similar to a prison cell and it would be cruel to restrain these innocent and pitiful creatures in there for longer period of time. But contrary to that popular belief, providing a crate is in fact like providing the dog with a den-like space he can call his own in which he is safe and comfortable. Crate training will never ever be cruel as long as it is used correctly.
Using a crate has a lot of benefits. One, it helps make housebreaking easy. Dogs are naturally clean animals and will not soil their sleeping areas as much as possible. Thus you need to take your pet out of the crate to let him do his business in the spot you designated as his toilet. Doing so the same time each day will eventually help him develop regular potty schedule.
Crate also guarantees your pooch’s safety, be it when you left him alone at home or when traveling. With crate, you can be at peace when leaving him knowing that he doesn’t have access to things or areas of the house in which he is not supposed to access.
Although the crate is a beneficial yorkie training tool, not every yorkies will conform to it quickly. More often, you will need to train him to get accustomed to it by rewarding him with food treats and plenty of praise. To introduce the crate, drop a few pieces of treats in and around it while letting him investigate it freely. This aims to associate the crate with something positive and worthwhile, not something he needs to be fearful of. You can also feed him in the crate to improve the chance of him to like it.
Once he gets into the crate, lavish him with praises and reward him with his favorite treat. Remember, never ever force him to get into the crate nor shut the door the first time he gets there. When he becomes used of getting in and out of the crate, close the door for a few seconds and reward him if he stays quiet. Gradually increase the time of him being inside the crate and begin substituting the treat with toys and praise.
