Recommended Answer:
You see when it comes to dog training nothing is so simple. Every task seems to be a daunting one, but if you really have time spend with your dog and you really love him a lot, I suggest you should always train him on your own. This helps to build a strong bond between you and your dog. You can certainly refer some online dog training courses which will make you understand things pretty easily.

• You don't need to hire a professional to get a puppy used to using his crate!!
  
  And actually all this 'crate training' is a myth. A crate is a training aid, a tool. There's no mystery about getting a dog used to being put in a crate, provided you approach it from a completely other direction. Get a crate, have it in your living area in the daytime, with his bedding in there, and some toys, WITH THE DOOR OPEN. That way your puppy should get used to using his crate as his bed, just as he would with any dog bed.
  
  And here's where using a crate comes in - when you can be there to watch what your puppy is getting up to, you crate him. Play with him for a while first, so he's tired enough to go in there for a sleep, take him out to empty, and then put him into his crate with a biscuit or treat, and shut the door. Then you can get on with what needs to be done, without you having to worry about him getting up to all sorts.
  
  No puppy should be in his crate, other than overnight (and for that, you might bring him into your room with you, at least to begin with, so he doesn't feel alone, planning on taking him out to empty at least once during the night), for longer than 2 hours to begin with, and no adult for longer than 4 hours without having the opportunity to go out to empty.
  
  A crate should NEVER be used as a 'cupboard' to keep a puppy, or adult in. And it should never be used as a punishment. Dogs should go happily into their crates, their place of refuge. I've used crates ever since I first 'met' them, at shows out in Canada. They are invaluable as a place to have a dog, rather than on the end of a lead. Great for recovering patients, and for car travel - as well as the place of safety for a puppy when it can't be supervised.


• Crate training is something you do yourself. The idea is to make the crate enjoyable for the pup. Feed in the crate and give the pup a stuffed Kong in the crate. Do no allow the pup out of the crate when it whines and you are certain it does not need to pee/poop. There are some sleepless nights when crate training but house training goes much faster.
