4. Solutions to high-frequency problems
Based on the data analysis on Weibo, Zhihu and other platforms in the past 10 days, we have sorted out the three most representative problems and their solutions:
1. What should I do if my dog resists entering the cage?
Use the "guidance + reward" method: place high-value snacks (such as freeze-dried) in the cage, and verbally praise the dog immediately when he enters. Do not push in forcefully.
2. How to deal with persistent barking at night?
• Make sure the cage is covered with blackout cloth (a method that recently received over 500,000 likes on Douyin)
• Place old clothes that smell like their owners
• Use white noise machines to reduce environmental sensitivity
3. How to break through stagnant training progress?
It is recommended to record a "Training Log", including the following data dimensions:
| date | Training duration | Use rewards | special performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day1 | 3 minutes | Chicken jerky | shivering slightly |
| Day3 | 8 minutes | cheese cubes | independent entry |
5. Expert advice and precautions
1. Age suitability:
• Puppies (3-6 months): no more than 4 hours a day in the cage
• Adult dogs: can be gradually extended to 6-8 hours (with sufficient exercise)
2. Taboo behavior:
× Punitive cage
× Feeding greasy food in the cage
× Sudden change of cage position
3. Hot trend reminder:
The "progressive desensitization training method" that has become popular recently on Station B shows that combining it with aromatherapy (lavender/chamomile) can increase training efficiency by 30%, and it is worth trying.
Through the above structured training plan, combined with 15-20 minutes of training every day, most dogs can establish good crate habits within 2-4 weeks. Remember, patience and consistency are the keys to success!
