Thanks for watching Puppy Crate Setup - Using A Puppy Playpen! Where do you set your playpen and crate up, in your home?

We have ours set up in our living room. We have tried a few different configurations and the most effective one was when we had access to the crate while in the pen. After watching this video I am going to put it back together that way again! We also have a crate in our bedroom and one in living room, but I think we will stick to just the living room and cover with sheet for sleeping at night. Everything time she moves or decides to chew her bone it wakes us up.

@annielizard 3 года назад

If we are supposed to be keeping the crate closer to us at night in the first few days when the puppy comes home, and that the crate should be inside the play pen, does that mean we should also set up the pen in our bedroom as well? Or is it a terrible idea to set up the crate and play pen in the living room and just move the crate to our bedroom at night? thanks!

Hello great advice and videos - Michelle, My labrador puppy is 4 months old, I live in an apartment compound with lots of grass and a park near by. Her create is on the balcony which acts as her pen.She is quite happy to play and sleep there while I am at work. However, (there is always a but...) when she is in there while I am doing choirs or watching tv she continually barks. I have tried the praising and giving her treats when she is quiet and then releasing her only when she is quiet. She does not seem anxious just likes to bark and tell me she wants to be with me.

@denisemaloneypiren3937 3 года назад

My puppy will be coming to me "litter box trained" from the breeder. As my puppy is going to be going through service dog training with the eventual goal of being able to travel with me (I have a disability that effects my mobility and I also have asthma) it is important that she learns that there will be times that she is asked to "go potty" indoors (like on a cruise ship, during blizzards when its -30 degrees out and I can't be out in that weather). Some trainers do not seem to realize that there are times when you may need to leave your dog for a longer than desirable time and they shouldn't feel physically uncomfortable because they are trying to "hold it" or feel ashamed that they had an accident. My beagle is 15 years old. For the past 3 years I have left puppy pads down for him to use if he needs it during the night. Maybe once a week he will need to use it. It's a simple clean up and he doesn't have to feel like he did anything wrong.

@alissahague4779 pretty good. He's 6 months now. Litterbox trained. Doesn't really bark or cry in the crate. Mainly does so when he sees me come home and tells me he wants to play. I've taught him sit, lay, and come but not much else since I've been busy. I can't imagine not having him but it was a little hard at first. He was territorial and didn't like me. Fetch helped him share and come to me more. And he learned that he could rely on me when he is scared

@olgashnayder1012 4 года назад

We use the crate for night time, and the play pen during the day. It seems like she enjoys being in the play pen much more and goes in there willingly. She will go into the crate at night time, but she is not very happy about it. The crate and play pen are in separate rooms. I am sure it is because we conditioned her to enjoy play pen much more. Would you recommend letting her sleep in the play pen and just getting rid of the crate ?

Wow--you are a great/smooth speaker and teacher! School kids would be lucky if you were their instructor. I'm getting a Bichon Frise puppy, so he will be small. I thought about an eight-sided pen with the crate inside it in our kitchen because it has a tile floor (other rooms have carpet or hardwood). You show either a smallish rectangle pen or a six-sided model. Do you think an octagon is way too big for that size of a puppy? Also, the kitchen is a more active and busy room in our house (no young kids, though). A nearby Sunroom is more isolated and has carpet. What's best--a tiled kitchen with more commotion OR a carpeted Sunroom but quieter?

@HowToTrainADreamDog 2 года назад

Great question! We recommend using linoleum to protect your floors, and it's perfect for an easy clean up, too! You can put a dog bed in the pen for your pup to lay comfortably on, but be sure to supervise so you can prevent your dog from ingesting the stuffing when they enter into the teething phase and become more curious.

@kotas.5306 3 года назад

So I just started watching these videos because I am getting a puppy in a couple weeks and honestly have little to no idea what I'm doing. I have some questions that may be dumb to ask, but hey, I know nothing: 1. Can my puppy sleep on my bed with me at night? 2. If the puppy cannot, then can I put a dog blanket in the kennel for him? 3. Can my puppy have a toy where he sleeps? I have a soft toy, but did not know if that was wise to do. 4. If I cannot afford a pen, can I use a small room or should I improvise somehow?

We have an older dog and are hoping to get another pup by may. I plan to have the crate in my room for bedtime and the playpen downstairs in the lounge for the day time so each dog has their own space and when I leave they are separated. I am going to get foam puzzle mats to protect the floorboards. For the bed, we have an indoor dog kennel bed that my dog doesn't use. I hope the pup has a favourite stuffed animal ike our dog Oscar does and that was the one he hasn't ruined. I also plan to give many teething toys to the pup whilst in the crate. Also what about grass toilet pads? I have heard they are better than puppy pads as the texture will get them used to going outside more than puppy pads.

Sounds like a great idea. I'll have to look for them too. We have a puppy that has never been for a walk outside. Now that she's had all the vaccines shots, we can take her for walks. We won't have to worry about her getting something from another dog.

Btw don’t get fake grass toilets pads as they were a pain to clean and the foam flooring didn’t do anything to protect our floors

@user-zw9hb7zh9d 11 месяцев назад

Your videos are wonderful thank you! Many people have mentioned having the pup in the bedroom and progressively moving them out towards the area you would like them to sleep in down the track. Do you have a video covering this? Our room doesn't allow for the crate + play pen set up + it's on carpet and there isn't much room in there because of bed + other furniture. I was thinking of having the crate in the bedroom at night and then moving it to the living space during the day + adding the play pen (just for day time). Does shifting the crate from bedroom at night, to the living room confuse the puppy? Would also love to know your thoughts about, your thoughts about starting him off in a crate within the area where he will be sleeping down the track (in the living room). I plan on setting an alarm the first couple of weeks for every two - three hours to proactively take him out to the toilet.

@HowToTrainADreamDog 11 месяцев назад

You're on the right track! Sometimes you have to set the crate up closer to you at first until the puppy has settled into his new home. Then you can move it to a different spot that works better for your home. Each puppy is different so you really have to see what his tolerance is and try to keep it a positive experience as he settles in. This video can give you some great ideas on how others have set up their crate and pen: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f9OaXIxdXJQ.html

@lisagreen8105 3 года назад

I came up with a unique way to keep my puppy from chewing up her puppy pads. I use one of those clear very low plastic containers, the pads fit it perfectally and she just jumps over the little lip and she doesn’t pull around her pads. She’s a ShihTzu and about six to seven lbs. The first three days were difficult but after that she never pulled the pads out or chew on them and they don’t slide around! It’s really worked perfect for me. In her area , which is 10 x10, her bed is there, her food and water and a play pads Where she can play. I had to have everything in one space because I’m disabled and needed her to have everything she needs if I have to leave her in there for more than a few hours during the day. Night time is a breeze. She gets up and pees and goes back to bed. I have a curtían blocking off this space so if she needs less stimulation that is possible. It’s like a dream puppy space and for ME it works fantastic.

Hey there in PA! Your pups should definitely have their own pens and crates. We don't want them to have too much time around one another. When they do, it should always be supervised. Here's a video we have on littermates, if you haven't seen it already. Raising Littermates or Same Age Puppies: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p_RDIS9yoVo.html

Omg I feel your pain. I had 2 shihpoos and I said no no no this is like chasing diaperless twins lol I couldn’t train both at the same time either. So I waited until Codi was 2 before I considered another

Smething you dont comment on- which I think would be SUPER helpful, is to recommend some kind of floor covering to help prevent accidents from ruining your carpet or hardwood floors.

We’ve had our 14 week puppy for a week now and we gave her our apartment space and it’s going horribly😂 we’re getting her a pen today because we want our couch back and her to stop chewing stuff. She’s incredibly sassy and is going to hate it but hopefully get used to it so she has her own space and can stay out of trouble …

@HowToTrainADreamDog Год назад

We're glad you're choosing to get a puppy pen! Using a puppy pen is a great way to help your puppy stay safe while you are busy with household chores and you can't keep your eyes on them 100% of the time. Puppies need to learn to start spending time away from you while keeping themselves busy (in a safe way). A puppy pen is not for sleeping and napping. We keep our puppies in a crate for all naps and at bedtime. The space is more cozy and this helps them sleep instead of staying in play mode. This video can tell you about one possible set up for a pen. You may choose to keep the crate in/near it or it's fine to keep it separate too. For more information about managing space in the home and yard to minimize accidents, check out this great video.

@@HowToTrainADreamDogplease help…. Can i keep my 2lb Maltese in her playpen set up with her crate and food/water and peeped during the day and at night just close the door to her crate? Or is it ok to have a separate crate in my room next to me to keep her from getting anxiety? There are so many different schools of thought i dont know which one will work better! It’s actually giving me anxiety and making me second guess my decision to go through with gettin her:(. I know keeping her in a crate that is closed at night is teaching her to hold her bladder. Is that correct ?

@ashleyhutchinson8705 3 года назад

Hi! If I set up like you’ve shown in this video in our main living area (open concept) is this also where the puppy sleeps? Or do I have another crate in our bedroom?

@suzannemortimer9752 3 года назад

After owning many many dogs in my life, we got a cockapoo. He has always been so hard to cope with....screaming in crate despite the recommended training, crying to go out to loo several times a night despite water recommended restrictions, barking at five o clock every morning and so so attention seeking! Its been a big shock and I would never recommend a cockapoo as a first time dog to own. He has a great loving personality of course but oh boy give me a labrador anyday😂

What if I initially made that new puppy mistake? Is it too late for the pen and crate at 4mo? I had her so close to potty trained but accidents still happen, and I'm wore out. She knows "outside", she will potty on command and she uses the sliding glass door extension doggy door on her own 90% of the time. Is it ok to setup the pen in front of the doggy door portion of my sliding door?

@markkiley418 3 года назад

I'm thinking the living room, it's next to the kitchen. So we can keep an eye on the puppy.

@kathybury6806 3 года назад

Same but then might be distracted when moving about etc.. hard to know

@AlisonVella 3 года назад

and everytime put the water bowl in the playpen and a puppy pads because the puppy always pee/poop on it and even if u let your puppy play outside of the puppy, He/she can learn where he/she pee/poop. Just like my puppy when she be outside of her pen she always go and do her stuff in her pads

Does the positioning of the crate need to be consistent or could it be in one room during the day and another at night?

Is the regalo you recommended tall enough for cocker spaniel puppies? Or is it too short? I am wondering how long it would be before he could jump over it. I guess I am wondering what would happen first, would he jump over the regalo or climb up and over the popular iris dog pen? Trying to determine best option prior to purchasing and setting up my new puppy area.

@HowToTrainADreamDog 2 года назад

Yes, the regalo should be fine for your cocker spaniel puppy!

I'm in a condominium. I take the puppy out when I can but there are times I can't. I have a large pen about 4.5' square with her crate inside. I have been putting papers on the floor and a water bowl and the toys you suggest. She's good all through the night but during the day she goes on an empty space on the floor inside the pen. She doesn't seem to equate the paper with elimination. What can I do. I really enjoy your videos.
