As well as departures and Door Is A Bore training. There are two other specialist plans.

Let's have a look at one of those crate training.

Now click training and click other specialist plans.

Then click crate to select crate training.

Now, when will you use crate training? Well, for most dogs, and you might have already discovered that being in a crate seems to make being alone add more difficult.

In other words, if you have a dog with Separation anxiety, it just seems that that extra bit of confinement of being in a crate makes everything harder.

However, it's not every dog and there are some dogs who do just fine in a crate when you try to leave. Also, maybe you don't want to use the crate for absences, but maybe you want to use the crate when you are on the phone doing a work call or when you've got visitors around because your dog is really bouncy,

In which case the crate training plan could be for you because it gently and gradually helps your dog to really love being in their crate rather than absolutely hating it.

So to do the crate training plan, first of all, click on, go on the first step.

Then start your repetitions. You're going to do four or five repetitions.

If your dog gets them all right, then you are going to go to a new level. Once you've completed this level, if your dog gets two or fewer, correct, then you're going to go to an easier level.

If your dog gets three, correct, you'll stay on the same level. If your dog gets four, correct? Just as if your dog gets five, correct?

Then you go to a more difficult level.

You can change the date and the time that you did the exercise. You're going to write the level that you did that will be auto-filled and the number of repetitions you completed will also be auto-filled.
