it is good to do the cage training.
Alot of people are telling me yes.
But i read on internet and some people are telling it crual...

i want to know your opinion if you already had a dog.
the dog it a doberman and he is 10 weeks he is crying sometime when he is in his cage (house).
Sometime he stop crying after like 5min and some time it can take longer.

And i am doing alot activity with him. When he go in his cage that mean he have to sleep or i cant keep a eye on him.
And also when he is crying i am not looking at him or talking to him.

ive had all my dogs crate trained they dont seem to mind after a bit they go in there to go to sleep for naps and stuff, just lets them know where there bed is, also stops them from poopin on your floor at night lol

I've got 3 dogs. (2 at my mom's and 1 at my dad's).

The 2 at my mom's do sleep in a cage and they don't mind. It's just for the night anyways.
At first it was also very helpful to put like newspaper in there so if they poo in the cage it will be removed easily.

The 1 at my dad's just sleeps on a cushion. This dog listens pretty good though and it never really slept in a cage.

It's just whatever you think is best for the dog. And it's not a proven fact wether it's bad or good for a dog
Every dog reacts different to a cage.


I think it wouldn't hurt

thx for both anwser it been 2 time that he go in his cage and he cried for only 2min then he stop.

where the dog sleeps is up to you. ofcourse it cant be a cruel place like sleeping outside at winter but remember that dogs need leaders, so its really up to you

To be honest, all puppies cry when they are in a cage no matter what. Puppies all they wanna do is be touched and play 24/7 and then completely crash at night. If your locking him in there when your not around, or you are but your not looking at him, its good for the dog to learn like its not a bad place to be etc. My dog is cage trained and she goes in it too sleep at night and she knows when to goto bed, she goes to bed every night at 12am

He'll get used to it, and won't even mind eventually. As long as you're treating him well he'll be alright.

It's really bad to pamper dogs like that. I mean u don't want to b cruel obv gutty u also don't want it to think it rules the house

as long as it is a correct size of cage, and your do not leave them cooped up in it too long (and if any poops happen they are cleaned promptly) its up to the dog and owner really
nothing cruel about it... it is essentially a dog bedroom
my dog figured out how to open her crate very early on... but still would go in it for sleep we just stopped locking it

I am pretty sure that there are other ways of teaching your kind animal certain things if putting your kind animal in a cage is an uncertainty for you. You should feel 100% confident with what you do kind mastersss person of D2JSP and if you don't, then research other ways of accomplishing the same thing kind mastersss person of D2JSP.
