12 Week Old Wilbur Crate Training

[suziwong66]

Wilbur had begun crate training at about 8 weeks in a PP40, but he was never over willing to get in. Yesterday his new 42" big boy crate came and we did some crate training to solidify the commands. Two things have changed, he will willingly enter it and we can leave the door open and he'll stay in and sleep or play...again something he didn't do in his PP40. In the video, when we were out of camera range, we had left the room and were halfway down a rather long hallway. I'm really pleased with his efforts so far. Eventually I'd like to see the speed in which he goes to his crate get faster and only ever have to give the command once for him to obey....patience and persistence :D
