Help -- my dog HATES the crate!

Whining, barking, pacing—or full-on panic. What’s supposed to be a calm, cozy space becomes a daily battle. 

You’re left feeling guilty, frustrated, and unsure if crate training is even the right choice.

Here's the thing -- shutting your dog into a crate and calling it a day is NOT the solution!

In fact, not properly crate training your dog can greatly increase stress and anxiety, and could even result in your dog hurting themselves in an effort to escape.

Contrary to popular belief, dogs are NOT den animals, and confinement does not come naturally for them.

Dogs need to be introduced to their crate in a slow, gradual process.

Crate Training Made Easy takes the confusion out of the process with 17+ video lessons and a proven 12-day plan. 

You’ll learn exactly how to teach your dog to love their crate—without stress, punishment, or second-guessing. By the end, your dog won’t just tolerate their crate—they’ll choose it.
