Crate Training Your New Miniature Schnauzer Puppy
Crate Training Your Puppy:
The easiest way to crate train your new Miniature Schnauzer puppy is to make his dog crate is as comfortable as possible for your dog.
Find a place in your home, away from drafts, to set up your Miniature Schnauzer's dog crate. Put some thick towels or blanket and a small pillow inside the crate, for your Mini Schnauzer to snuggle up into.
Remember your Miniature Schnauzer puppy just left his litter mates where they would snuggle up together to fall asleep.

Anything that has your scent on it and definitely something you don’t mind getting soiled. Leave the dog crate door open. Toss a dog toy or treat in the dog crate to encourage your Miniature Schnauzer puppy to enter it. When he does fo inside the crate, praise him. crate training tip: If your Miniature Schnauzer will not go in his crate, you will need to place him inside and close the crate door. Once inside the dog crate, your Miniature Schnauzer puppy will undoubtedly cry. Ignore Him Completely. Say nothing. Just sit nearby and watch. When your Miniature Schnauzer puppy quits crying open the crate and praise him.
Spend the next 20 to 30 minutes playing with your new Miniature Schnauzer puppy.

Spend the next 15 minutes, again with the dog crate door open – trying to get your Miniature Schnauzer to enter his new crate on his own. If he does not go in, place your Miniature Schnauzer back in his crate for another 10 minutes or until he quits whining. And repeat the entire process.

"Puppy training takes time. You must have patience, time, and a sense of humor to be successful"
It takes time but you will find that your Miniature Schnauzer puppy wants nothing more than to please you. Your Miniature Schnauzer will learn, fairly quickly, that if he doesn’t whine – he gets to play and if he potty’s outside – he gets praises - and that's what he wants!
That's not so bad, you might think.
Well, Wait - We’re not done yet………….
dog training tip: The very last thing you should do before placing your Miniature Schnauzer puppy in his crate for the evening is ‘take him outside’ to relieve himself. Always have your new Schnauzer puppy go potty before bedtime.
***No more food or drink. It’s time for bed.***

The Dreaded First Few Nights!The first few nights, your new Miniature Schnauzer puppy IS going to cry and whine well into the night. The best thing to do is – ignore it.
Don’t ‘give-in’ If you ‘give-in’ you will be rewarding the bad behavior of whining and you don’t want to do that!
"Crate Training Success - your adorable miniature schnauzer sleeps through the night"
Don’t worry. Your Miniature Schnauzer puppy will tire and settle down eventually. And once your Miniature Schnauzer does begin to sleep during the night, when he whines, it will be because he needs to 'go potty' and doesn’t want to mess in his dog crate or bed.
SUCCESS!
