*Fun Fact*
How far a dog smells depends on conditions such as wind and type of scent, but they have been reported to smell objects and people over 12 miles away. Dogs' olfactory systems work so well that they can be trained to pick up odors as little as a pictogram which is a trillionth of a gram. This ability to smell such tiny traces of a particular scent has allowed them to locate items buried as far as 40 feet underground and people who drowned in over 80 feet of water as well as follow a trail over a week old.

Group class pups! Man we love to see the transition from class one where dogs are stressed, some are loud, some are cautious, and some just aren’t listening to class two where their people did their homework and were able to really get some work done with the leash and some distractions outside. Transformations are made in small increments in class, but the real work is done at home. We love our group classes!! So many great dogs come out of class at graduation and go on to do really fun things with their people. Next round of group classes will be mid July. Reach out to get on our waitlist!

How many hours a day should you crate train your dog? That will depend on their age and their behavior. Dogs who are young, potty training and learning how to calm their bodies will spend significantly more time in the crate on a scheduled basis. We recommend that puppies are put on a 2 hours in, 2 hours out rotation all day long. It helps set a routine, helps with potty training and helps puppies calm their bodies. Young dogs should be sleeping 16-20 hours a day. Sounds like a lot, I know! Sleep helps with so many functions of the body, it is so restorative.

Adult dogs are likely better with potty training and calming their body so crate training can usually be done on an as needed basis, but there is nothing wrong with crating your dog mid day to get a nap (sometimes I wish I had mid day naps). If they need help with calming their body or potty training, I always recommend following the same type of schedule as puppies but maybe doing 3 or 4 hours in and 3 or 4 hours out and consistently rotating all day long.

Most people humanize the idea of crate training because they would hate being put in a box. When done right, crates are so much more than a box. Help your dog be the best dog they can be! Reach out if you need help with crate training your dog or any other behaviors. Don't wait until your dog is behaving so badly that you think about rehoming them.
