Puppy crate training: start with shorter increments and build the time up from there. With our students, we bump it by 30min-1hr every 2 weeks, and extend their “free time” outside of the crate, depending on how they’re doing. Aka: how well they’re holding their potty for. As a rule of thumb: if pup’s doing good, extend the hours. If they’re having accidents, reduce the time again until they get back on track. (This may be a few days to a couple weeks.) Don’t be afraid to “backtrack” temporarily

A little round up — we’ve got more! In the meantime, here’s what to get started on with your pup if you haven’t started training yet: Set structure from day 1 (or as soon as possible if you have already brought your puppy home) — easiest way to do this is by getting your puppy on a daily schedule. We do a rotation of crate times and free times throughout the day. When a puppy knows what’s coming up next they settle easier and start exhibiting better behavior. Use your puppy’s mealtimes as traini
