How to crate your Shiba the right way |
|
|
Crate training is a healthy way to train your dog, but there are certainly right ways of going about it as well as wrong ways. Here are some tips for properly using this technique to train your best friend: Make sure that the crate isn't in an isolated area. Disinfect the crate on a regular basis to prevent bacterial diseases Don't leave your dog in the crate for more than 3-4 hours at a time Leave toys in the crate to keep your dog occupied when he's not sleeping Take your dog out for a bathroom break immediately before putting him in his crate, and immediately after taking him out Many people believe that crate training a dog is cruel, but nothing could be further from the truth. A properly used crate (not abused) will give your dog a safe place to rest and will also keep him out of trouble when you're not around to supervise. |

Toilet Training – Your Seven Step, Ten Day Housetraining Plan
by Eric Letendre
It seems like I spent most of the week helping new puppy owners housetrain their pups. Housetraining can be accomplished in as little as ten days if you follow a plan, a plan that has worked for many dog owners. The closer you follow the plan, the better the results.
Step 1: Understand dog behavior -- dogs do not know right from wrong. What they understand is safe and dangerous. When your puppy comes into your house he doesn't understand that it is "bad" behavior to urinate on your carpet.

Housetraining Shibas |
|
|
Shiba is a clean and proud dog. Housetraining should be rather easy as they don't like leaving their poop around so to say. They are known to clean up after themselves in case of accident. If you have an enclosed garden or yard and your puppy has access to it, they will quickly find a way inside. They will also quickly learn the areas they should leave alone.
