You can also bell train your dog. We did that with ours and it worked
great. Basically, you hang a large jingle bell on a cord from the door
that you'll use to take him/her out. Hang it at dog nose height. Every
time you take the dog out, ring the bell (show the dog that you're
ringing it, too). I

Spike is very intelligent and they make absolutely beautiful agility
dogs.
She knows so many tricks that our big guys just can't do.
She'd amaze you.

And you see all the choices of beds and the futon they have.
The cats have it well too - that's their cat tower behind the crates.

Not every dog is trained exactly the same.
Our Italian Greyhound weighs 11 pounds.
Many people train their IGs to go in Dog Litter B
If my dog had those evil glowing eyes, I'd lock it up too when I want to sleep.

NOW WAIT A SEC.
you start the dog of in a smaller crate with a dog bed.
but it so small it only will have room to pee in the dog bed while you are gone?
thats alot of washing that bed thing.
also i dont get the dog litter box?

I built Libby a couple of beds so she can feel like a "big girl". One
in the living room, like her own "couch", and one in our bedroom, like
her own bed. Yea, we're pathetic. :)

That's good too - but I have known people to punish their dogs and throw
them in crates - that's the behavior I was saying no to.
Making it a treat is the best! :)

greyhounds do get up and move around - maybe they will sleep on a dog
bed that's in the open or on their futon (they have a futon ALL for
themselves) but mostly it's in the crates.

I'm in another type of situation. My dog is 8 years old, but he's
never lost that puppy kind of energy. No matter what I've tried (tin
can filled with pennies, dog whistle, stepping on toes) I can't keep
him from jumping on people.

so once you crate train them do they always sleep in it?
or after a while is it ok to let them sleep where they want?
you always keep the door open?

The hardest part of crate training is NOT the cleaning up of the
"accidents" or trying to get them to go in there (they are naturally
drawn to cave-like dwellings), it is listening to them whimpering in
there at night, IMHO. You just feel so bad, you want them to come and
snuggle up with you,
nice.
have you crate trained one before? or is this your first attempt?

Adjust as he grows?
Best bet is to buy the biggest one he will use as an adult, and section
it off.
We like tha actual varikennels they use to transport dogs on airplanes.
They are cozier, easier to clean and some even come on wheels in case
you do travel with them. They are very sturdy too.

My wife and I will be picking up our new puppy the first weekend in August.
It is a purebread English Bulldog. We want to purchase a crate for him to
aid in the training, etc but are not sure which are good brands and such. We
would like one that will adjust as he grows. They get to be about 50-70
