Crate training is the process of teaching your dog (in this case your pup) that their crate is their own special place associated with good things; where they can go to hide out when they feel uneasy or to relax when they need to.
Being den animals, like their wild cousins, the wolves, dogs have a natural tendency to feel a sense of security when they’re in a small den-like enclosure. This behaviour can be seen when dogs get scared, running to hide under a table or behind a piece of furniture.
Crate training uses this natural instinct to get your puppy used to staying in a crate for house training or to keep them out of trouble when you can’t keep a constant eye on them.
Benefits Of Crate Training
Crate training your puppy has several benefits, the key ones are:
Giving you pooch her own space where she can get comfortable and feel secure
Helping speed up house training – dogs will generally not eliminate where they sleep
Keeping your pup out of trouble when you can’t supervise him
Preventing damage to your items when you can’t keep an eye on your puppy
Getting your dog ready for when they need to be kept in a crate, for example, when they’re travelling or at the veterinarian.
The benefits of crate training your puppy are numerous, but care must be taken to ensure crating is not abused – which could easily make it a cruel practise.
Steps For Crate Training Your Puppy
You need to keep two things in mind when crate training your puppy: going into the crate should be associated with pleasant experiences; and, patience is critical – rushing could cause your dog to resent crating.
Crate training could take anywhere between a week and a month depending on the personality of your puppy.
Here’s how to crate train your puppy:
Get a good crateA good crate should be large enough for your puppy to be able to get in and turn, stand, and stretch out comfortably. But do not get a crate that’s so large as to allow your pooch to move to another spot when they toilet in one. This will make it difficult to house train your pup.A metal crate with a tray floor will do just fine. You could also get one that is partitionable so that you can adjust its size as your puppy grows.
Make sure the crate is comfy enough by placing your puppy’s bedding on the crate’s floor. It might help to cover the crate with a light blanket to create the illusion of a den.
Introduce your pup to the crateYou should place the crate in a location that’s frequented by people such as the living room, kitchen, or bedroom so that your puppy doesn’t feel isolated. You want going into the crate to be a positive experience, so don’t force your puppy in. Just leave it open and let them explore it by themselves out of curiosity.You can entice him to get in by putting his favourite treats inside; or better yet, by placing a puzzle toy or a Kong toy stuffed with treats inside the crate. Place the treat further into the crate each time until you pup goes all the way inside.
Repeat this until your pooch can go into the crate comfortably without hesitation. Reward your puppy each time they go inside with a treat and a short praise like “good!” or “Yes!”
Feed your puppy inside the crateOnce you puppy is fine going into the crate, start shutting the door for short periods (just a few seconds at the beginning) while your dog plays with their toy or enjoys their treat inside. Extend this time gradually until you can get them to stay for about ten minutes while they’re preoccupied.Serve their regular meals inside the crate as a way to extend their in-crate time. Depending on your puppy, there might not be any protest – but some may start whining when you lock them in. Open the door and let them out when they do. Make sure to stay close when she is inside the crate so that you pup doesn’t get anxious.
Extend crate timeWhen the puppy is comfortable staying in the crate for longer durations, you need to ensure that he stays calm inside the crate even after he finishes his food or treats.Because you don’t want to be feeding them all the time while they’re in the crate, start leaving them a while longer with just their toy after they’re done eating. You can give treats periodically, but make sure to stay close to the crate.
After the pup is fine with this, start moving away from the crate – each time creating more distance but still remaining in the room. If your pup starts whining, get back closer until they stop and then move back away.
Next, do some activities in the same room like working on your computer or cleaning while your puppy’s in the crate. Get them used to stationary activities like reading or eating, and activities with motion like cleaning or cooking. Ignore whining noises if any and pop-back periodically to give a treat.
Leave the roomOnce your dog is ok with you being away from the cage but in the same room, now start going to other rooms but still staying inside the house. Again, ignore noises and drop-by periodically to give a treat. Reduce the treats gradually until you no longer have to give them.You can start to pair a cue with the action of going into the crate such as “go to bed” or “in your crate” so that you can call up the action easily in the future.
Take your pup out to eliminate each time you take them out of the crate so that they can associate toileting with being taken outside after crating.
Crating your puppy overnight and when leaving the houseAfter your puppy is ok with you leaving the room while they’re locked in their crate, then you can start leaving the house. Keep it short initially, a few minutes, tops, and increase the time gradually.Don’t make a fuss when you’re going out or coming in. crate your dog a few minutes – up to 20 minutes – before you leave and take him out a few minutes after you’re back. This will help ensure your dog doesn’t associate crating with you leaving or returning home.
When keeping your pooch in a crate at night, make sure you’re in the same room at first so that you can monitor their reaction and act accordingly. You can keep your puppy in a separate room later when they’re more used to crating. Remember never to leave your pup in the crate for more than 2-3 hours without taking them out to toilet – even at night.
The trick to crate training your puppy is ensuring you don’t leave them in the crate for longer than they can handle. 2-3 hours is the ideal time to crate a fully trained puppy before letting them out to play or toilet.

The Fort Knox Mine is an open-pit gold mine, located approximately 26 miles northeast of Fairbanks, Alaska. The operator proposes to add a heap leach gold recovery facility in the Walter Creek drainage. The mine was originally permitted in 1994, and currently produces about 330,000 ounces of gold annually. The mine site is located primarily on lands owned by the State of Alaska and the Mental Health Trust. FGMI employs 400-425 people at the mine and mill, which operate on two shifts, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
Start designing your own beer.
With over 250 micro-breweries in the Netherlands alone, and these numbers quickly rising, we seem to be entering another golden age of brewing. What unites these independent breweries is the fact that most of them started their business in their own homes and kitchens. And now you can do the same! Start designing a beer brand and learn how to brew your own sixpack. From milling and mashing to filtering, storage, naming and bottling.
This workshop is divided into two parts, brewing (6 hrs.) and bottling (1 hr), and given by Simon Buijs from Brouwerij De Bierkraai.

note the facial expressions - they're key.
There was a thunderstorm and I hoped to see some flash lights, but they were on the other side of our house. I took pictures of the rain instead.
My professor had a great idea: instead of buying a sketchbook, why don't you make your own? So here's a video on how to make your own sketchbook. Enjoy!

Young entrepreneur promotes budding artists
A young entrepreneur along with a group of contemporary artists aims to promote young upcoming talent and hitherto undiscovered maestros.
Jyoti Kalra, who owns an art group 'UCHAAN' and runs it with contemporary artists to promote upcoming talent in the field of painting, organized an exhibition titled 'Rangmahal' at Hauz Khas.
UCHAAN organises painting competitions, workshops and camps in a bid to bring art and people closer. They have sold over 100 works of budding painters in the past one year.
Kalra, believes that the profession of painting can be taken up as a career option because there exists a big market where paintings are sold at good prices.
She says painting can also be taken as a freelancing business as several orders for illustrations are also received.
"We have our own gallery where events are held regularly at different places to explore artists because my motive is to promote them," she said.
"People are appreciating art and government is also getting aware and our artists are also painting on roads. There is a great scope in art as paintings are sold for lakhs and crores."
"We arrange camp, workshops and live painting competitions, so that more people could understand the importance of art." said Kalra.
Art provides a good platform and youth are also taking interest in it. Due to good purchasing power, business is also good. Paintings are also seen as making investments where a person purchases works of flourishing artists and their value multiplies after a few years.
"More and more youth are taking to the fields of painting, art and dancing and it's a good platform. There are several opportunities for youth to show their creativity. There are ample opportunities when it comes to business as today's youth have good purchasing power." said Kamalnath, an artist.
A large number of people visited the exhibition and appreciated the works of the artists. Paintings depicting nature, religion and Indian culture especially grabbed people's attention.
"I really liked this painting exhibition. Works of artist were great. I have come here with my friends and we all loved the paintings." said Gaurav, a visitor.
The people appreciated the paintings and wished that such exhibitions should be organized on regular intervals
