Crate training has been the foundation of the lovely relationship this 60 year old disabled woman has with her 100lb British Male Black Lab! Im very thankful for the fenced yard and tons of fridbees!
I agree. Got that advice from a friend long time breeder trainer. Best tool.
We are fencing our yard, and regret not doing it sooner .
I am so happy that we have been working on all 3 of these! The crate is a huge success! She loves it and goes in on her own and knows when it's bedtime. Place and loose leash walking still needs work, but it's something we are working on with her.
The crate training was not true with my lab. I tried making it as positive as possible and gave so much encouragement. He hated it. He'd cry every time non-stop are tare anything up in it. Including the tray in the bottom and if that wasn't there the floor. I felt horrible, so I I didn't put him in the crate. He was fine. Super happy quiet and didn't tare anything up. Ever since I stopped using the crate he's been much happier and loving. I couldn't agree more with the walk I do at least 2 a day.
It’s golden info, and he’s my training leader! He gets to it and tells it clearly with deserved authority!! Count on this fine guidance.
I’ve said it before and I’ll once again; just outright brilliant. Without doubt, the most accurate advice I’ve ever heard. Will, you are great brother. I appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Crate training, loose lead (now off leash most of the time) and place: all check! I feel blessed with my super obedient and loving one year old lab
What amazing training tips! I've lived in South Korea for a long time so hearing a good British accent is something I miss!!! My lab loves his crate now since watching your video.
Cheers will..First time lab puppy raiser for guide dogs..you talk so much sense👊
Thank you so much. I’m actually struggling myself to walk my red fox labrador who is two years old and male he pulled me over twice when walking him
Your absolutely correct. I had 2 Labs both crate trained in 1 week only being around 18 weeks old. They would go to the crate sometimes on their own.
The hardest part was only the 1st night!. Do not do baby them & easier said than done. They adjust very quickly every day!!
Both these dogs are in such amazing shape. Most of the labs we see in North America are overweight
I crate train every dog I own, rescue, foster, etc. immeasurable value!
Why? If hes clean then whats wrong with them sitting on the couch or bed?
Did you watch the video
I pick up my first Lab puppy tomorrow! I’ve always had pit bulls or blue healers so this is my first lab and I’m so excited I can’t begin to describe it! Any tips are welcome🙌🏻
Hey! I'm so excited for you!
I have a lab who's turning 2 next month!
Winter a year ago, I had a little bugger prancing around in the snow, and this Summer I have a grown dog turning 2! Time flies and it couldn't have been the best 2 years yet!
You made the right choice going with a Labrador this time!
I have had a cattle dog and Aussie both were great dogs. We got our lab Ripley 2 years ago and see is truly a special dog.❤ Enjoy your lab.
@@jeristowell2635 he’s been incredible! He’s brought so much joy to my house I couldn’t be happier!
My Labrador got used to her crate so fast. My Husky/Newfie mix took a little longer lol.
I have a lab and a chihuahua and I can't let them play outside together cuz the lab has flipped the chi in the air and jumped on his back etc on many occasions so now I can let them play together in case my chi gets hurt
i have tried everything for walk, from halti to gentle leader to treats , play before walk, mental exercise , you name it and i have done it ,, nothing worked , he pulled me like crazy , he doesn't care if i have a treat or toy when he sees a dog and becomes suddenly leash reactive.. i am still trying and training him , hopefully he will calm down after desexing 😪
What food you give your dog
Like and new sub Hi5 the bell.
Lucy ball was a 7month rescue
Look at her now a GREAT CANADIAN DOG . Loved her crat. SANCTUARY ONLY GOOD.
PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL . Walk with Jesus and walk the Dog
Do you have a video teaching the place command? Everyone seems to be teaching place as go to your bed or similar.
Curious if the method is different or similar?
Yes, I've been confused about that too. After watching many videos I think it's 2 separate commands. One is go to bed at home and the place can be any surface anywhere as long as you say place and point out where you want them. I think. Still new to all this.
I use kennel for my lab to go to kennel. Place for when I need him on his bed.
In the beginning, my lab knew the difference and would follow each command. However, sometimes when I place- he chooses to go to the kennel. Sometimes when I kennel- he thinks he can choose place. LOL. But kennel always means kennel. Place has kind of become an "it's your choice where you want to make yourself comfortable."
N cool
I have a 9week old fox red labrador puppy and I’m wondering if I’m better with a crate or a puppy pen with bottom tray? So he will still have his own space but the crate seems too small for him because he’s very energetic
Never used a crate and never had any trouble with him.
If indoors, I'd go with a wire crate with a bottom tray that can be removed for cleaning. When my lab was about 3 or 4 months... we got him a wire crate but trained him to go into travel crates too. The wire crate makes a good forever space for him. When you're in an emergency and he needs to be put away, when he's sick and needs to be contained, when you've got visitors, etc... it's always good to have a space for your dog even if he is allowed free roaming. 😊 Also, sometimes my lab just goes into his kennel by himself and goes to sleep. Or he goes in there and just watches us from the inside😂. It's nice for them to know they have a space that's theirs and theirs only.
I'd go with the XL or XXL... I believe that is the 48. You can use the divider and eventually give him more space by removing it as he grows. (The wire crate with the bottom piece also makes potty accidents a lot easier to clean!)
Crate trained my eighteen old red fox lab from 8 weeks and although a little giddy he doesn’t jump round people and loves it as a way of relaxing when he gets a little too giddy. People have said what a loveley boy he is becoming. Keep up with the crate but use wisely
Okay just tell me how to do it
Wh
How do you actually do these 3 things tho?
Look for his other videos
now if only i could get my dogs to stop recourse guarding in their crate :(
SORRY BUD ... NO crate for my two girls ( 1 year old littermates ) and they couldn't be more well adjusted , house broken , or well behaved . Maybe it's because I give them A LOT of time and attention.
Teaching a dog to crate up is a skill that a dog should learn. It's like carrying snow chains in the winter. You're confident your car can make it... but in a rut, you'll need it.
Many (unforeseen) situations (outside your home) may require your dog to be crated. It is in your dog's best interest to understand what a crate is and that it is a safe space for them.
For example, what if you were out on a walk, you passed out and were separated from your dogs for a little while. They would be stressed from the situation and ontop of that the anxiety and fear of being in a crate for the first time in their lives while they wait for you.
You can think you have all of your ducks in a row... but there's always something. My dogs crate up and they understand the crate is their safe space. We have it open and they freely go in when they want. They choose to sleep in there on their own as well.
When I have my sister watch my dogs at her place... they look for and go into their crates when they are overwhelmed or tired. It's not a bad thing to train a dog to go into/stay in a crate.

That dog is not enjoying the walk at all. he/she is contantly worried about command. Sad :(
