Crate training is an important part of establishing better dog behavior. It is also a challenge for many pet families. Some owners avoid crate training altogether. Others find that their dog barks and cries in the crate. Still others find that their dogs are simply not responding to their crate the right way.

Sometimes crate training works way faster with help from a professional dog trainer, and if you’re struggling, I encourage you to call us today at 224-407-2131. Chicago Dog Trainers Marc Goldberg and Patrick Farrell will work with you and your pet to make sure she learns to enjoy her crate. But in the interim, here are several tips you can use to improve your dog’s crate training.

Our Philosophy & Goals

Our philosophy is simple. Improve the life of both dog and family. All too often, unruly dogs do not fully enjoy life because their families constantly become upset and frustrated with them. This is difficult for both family and dog.
 
Our mission is simple. Make both dog and family happy.
 
What does is take to make your dog happy? He will thrive when you give him leadership and attention.


 
Making the family happy is a bit more complex.

Families typically want their dog to:

  • Come when called, every time, on or off leash
  • Walk nicely on a loose leash without pulling
  • Sit until released
  • Down until released

Families also want their dogs:

  • Not to jump on people
  • Not to charge through doors
  • Not to dig in the garden
  • Not to bark and chew  inappropriately
  • Not to climb on furniture you prefer they avoid
  • Not to sniff and eat off the table and counters.
  • Not to be wild and uncontrollable
  • Not to ignore you when you want their attention
