It\u2019s not impossible to crate train these dogs, we just need to take the training much slower and at their pace, using plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-health\/feeding\/puppy-rewards-and-treats\/\">rewards<\/a>, to make them feel good about the crate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Should you ignore puppy crying in their crate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nope! Not at all.&nbsp; We never recommend letting puppies cry it out. Crying is a way for puppies to express their distress and that they need your support! By ignoring them, you\u2019ll just contribute to them making bad associations to the crate, which can have negative effects on other areas of their life. Don\u2019t want that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>At what age do puppies not need a crate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When puppies are <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-training\/toilet-training\/how-to-toilet-train-a-puppy-full-guide\/\">potty trained<\/a>, can <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-behavior\/separation-and-sleep\/how-to-get-a-puppy-to-sleep-through-the-night\/\">sleep through the night<\/a>, and are past the <a href=\"https:\/\/zigzag.dog\/en-us\/blog\/puppy-behavior\/biting-and-chewing\/puppy-chewing\/\">chewing stage<\/a>, you can say goodbye to the crate. However, many people find that once crate trained, their puppy actually really likes their crate as it gives them somewhere safe to be away from children, or to go and rest and sleep. Your puppy may just like to keep it around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There you have it! Crate training may come with ups and downs.
