Crate training is ideal for just about every new pup and it even works for most adult dogs.
Except for hunting, eliminating, playtime and protection, they spend hours sleeping, eating or relaxing in their den. Most well trained, contented house pets spend most of their day curled up on a chesterfield or under a bed. The cage-trained dog is simply taught that his bed is in the cage. If you must leave the pup unsupervised for several hours or even a few minutes, simply confine him to his cage. With this technique, owners have been able to housebreak some pups in a matter of days.
