How to Kennel Train Your Dog:

A very useful command to teach your dog is the “Kennel” command. Have you ever had to tug your dog into the kennel. Wouldn’t it be nice to teach your dog “Kennel” and then they would freely walk into the kennel without resistance? When teaching your dog the “Kennel” command, practice doing this command with the door open.

The dog is expected to stay in the kennel with the door open or closed. Practice closing the door and then opening the door with your dog still in the kennel. Sometimes dogs automatically think, door opening means go through the door and run out. We want to teach the dog that door opening means nothing and the dog doesn’t come out of the kennel until they hear their command “Kennel”.

Here is an excellent video from the CEO of Sit Means Sit Dog Training,

Fred Hassen, demonstrating the “Kennel” command.

We hope you enjoyed this useful tip. If you have any questions about

this command then please ask Tony at your next group training class.
