Dogs need to be with their pack, i.e. their humans. Crate training is for house training purposes only.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-does-my-dog-try-to-bite-me-when-i-put\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_dog_try_to_bite_me_when_I_put_him_in_his_cage\"><\/span>Why does my dog try to bite me when I put him in his cage?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Any way you cut it, your pup\u2019s tendency to try and bite you when you shuffle him into his cage clearly points to aggressive behavior. It doesn\u2019t mean your little guy\u2019s not sweet and friendly, but in this instance, he\u2019s aggressive. His aggression likely stems from frustration, pain or fear.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-does-my-dog-growl-when-i-try-to-move\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_dog_growl_when_I_try_to_move_him\"><\/span>Why does my dog growl when I try to move him?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Monday Myth: My dog growls at me when I try to move him from his resting place. Clearly, he\u2019s being dominant. A growl is a warning from your dog. He is trying to tell you to stop what you are doing or he will need to escalate his aggression to a snap or a bite.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-you-discipline-a-dog-that-snaps-at\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_discipline_a_dog_that_snaps_at_you\"><\/span>How do you discipline a dog that snaps at you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Disciplining your dog through counter conditioning involves using a lot of treats, preferably small ones. If you know what causes your dog to snap, you must desensitize him to these triggers and reward him when he reacts properly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.insider.com\/5c3652d801c0ea1e645cbaf3?width=750&amp;format=jpeg&amp;auto=webp\" alt=\"The Explanation Behind Weird Things Your Dog Does Every Day\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MI4nduJLfRQ\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"should-i-crate-my-dog-for-bad-behavior\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_I_crate_my_dog_for_bad_behavior\"><\/span>Should I crate my dog for bad behavior?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Never Crate Your Dog Longer Than 5 Hours (Except Overnight)<\/p>\n<p>If they don\u2019t get this, they get bored, behavior problems may start to develop and it can even lead to depression.

In fact, many dogs happily enter their crate at night and enjoy the safety the space provides.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-do-i-get-my-dog-into-an-aggressive-crate\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_get_my_dog_into_an_aggressive_crate\"><\/span>How do I get my dog into an aggressive crate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Managing Aggression<\/p>\n<p>Move your dog\u2019s crate to a low-traffic, quiet area of the house. He needs a stress-free environment to sleep and relax, just like you do. Drape a blanket over his crate when it\u2019s his bed time to help him ignore what\u2019s happening around him.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kMUiHBQiQ_Y\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-to-do-if-dog-growls-in-crate\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_if_dog_growls_in_crate\"><\/span>What to do if dog growls in crate?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For example, if she is in her crate, whoever is walking by must totally ignore her if she growls, no words, not even a look in her direction. If she doesn\u2019t growl, keep walking, but say \u201cgood girl\u201d or \u201cnice girl\u201d as positive reinforcement, but don\u2019t stop or acknowledge her any other way.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"should-you-cover-a-dog-crate-with-a-blanket\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Should_you_cover_a_dog_crate_with_a_blanket\"><\/span>Should you cover a dog crate with a blanket?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>And because a properly trained dog considers her crate a safe and happy space, you should never place a blanket or cover over it to punish her. Instead, offer a covered crate as an opportunity to wind down.\u00a0 When your dog has accepted one side of the crate being covered, lower the material over a second side.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l8zzsl0O3f0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-you-have-a-dog-if-you-work-9-5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_have_a_dog_if_you_work_9_5\"><\/span>Can you have a dog if you work 9 5?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIf you work full-time and want to have a dog you need to have an enormous amount of back-up, such as a dog walker coming in while you\u2019re at work,\u201d she explained. \u201cThe maximum amount of time a dog should be left alone is four hours and that\u2019s pushing it.
