Crate Training 101

March 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment

1. Have a serious talk with the puppy about how disgusting it is to sleep in your own poop. (Do not let the 1 or 2 year olds chime in.)

2. Place the puppy in the crate with a couple of washable toys and fleece rug thing to lay on.

3. Remove puppy from crate; take directly outdoors holding at arms’ length.

4. Wash toys and fleece. Clean out crate with plenty of paper towels and antibacterial wipes.

5. Invest in hand soap and lotion.

6. Repeat steps 1 through 4… and try to keep your sense of humor.

    Okay, I still think you guys are NUTS to get a puppy right now, but what a cutie! How do you pronounce the name? What do the kids think?
