House training your dog with a crate?

How do theese two tie in together? When I get my new puppy home do I take it out to the backyard and show it where it goes potty? And then play and stuff for a while then go potty again and then start crate trainging him? Lots of things I've read say that crate trainging is the best way to house train your dog but I don't really understand how they work together? ThanksHouse training your dog with a crate?
Well technically, puppy wont go to the bathroom in the place he sleeps. BUT theres always a but..you cannot leave your puppy in the crate or cage for long period of time, you still have to take him up to 6 times a day. If you will leave him in th cage for long, he will pee and poop himself. What i suggest is put him in a crate saying ';crate, crate'; so he will get used to the sound of the word, then after an hour, take him outside let him pee there, and overnight, put him into crate but ,make sure you put pee pads under incase..House training your dog with a crate?
puppies need to go outside to potty quite often. especially after eating, playing, sleeping, drinking etc. the crate has to be small enough that the puppy can sit and lay down but not big enough to pee or poop in and still be able to lay somewhere dry. always crate the puppy when you cant keep an eye on it to see if it needs to go out or not.
Most dogs wont use the bathroom on there crate, so when it goes outside give it a treat. This worked with my dog and now he doesnt even need a treat to go outside.
HouseBREAK....%26amp; of course crating is the easiset fastest way......CONFINE when not under direct supervision.

Oh,wait,you're a dopey kid....here....if you're not WATCHING IT every second-CRATE IT!!!
Most dogs will not go where they sleep. Using a crate takes advantage of that, by allowing you to control when the dog goes.



I usually do take a new dog out to the ';bathroom'; area first, before I even bring them in the house. I want them to know where it is, because I have found it makes housebreaking easier.



As a rule of thumb, a puppy can hold it one hour for every month old it is. That means a two month old puppy needs to be taken outside every two hours (at night, too).



At night, and when you cannot watch your puppy, then you can put him in the crate. You need to actually catch him in the act of going in the house, in order to correct him. If you do it after the fact, he will not understand.



Hope that helps :o)
Confining a dog or puppy to a crate when he is alone will help because most dogs as a rule do not like to be in close proximity to the mess they make and will restrain themselves until they are let out.
