hi there I'm doggy Dan this is little Moses whom I picked up from the SPCA and this video is part of project Moses knowing what rule to sort of apply when your puppy or your dog is barking in their crate or in a penned area or in an area may be separated from you by a baby gate or maybe your older dog is outside barking through the glass window or door and knowing what rule to apply in terms of when do you let your dog in and when you just ignore them that's a really good question it's a really good thing to understand which is why I've made this video which should be pretty straightforward and it's basically it's all about Pavlov's theory Ivan Pavlov was a Russian scientist in the area of physiology and psychology and what he basically developed was this theory that dogs could learn that let's keep it very straightforward and applicable to what we're doing say if a dog barks and you open the crate and let them out then they can learn that if they bark you open the crate door and let them out and that's Pavlov's theory and that is something that you don't just need to learn and remember for and I'm your puppy in the crate but it also applies to every single aspect of their learning they apply this sort of theory throughout their entire lives if they jump up at you and you Pat them yes they will keep jumping if they hang around the table and they're given scraps yes they will hang around the table for the rest of their lives and expect to be given scraps if you call your puppy to you sometimes and you're angry and frustrated you shout at them or tell them off then they'll remember that that's sometimes when you call them by their name and they come running you tell them off so let's apply it to what I wrote the real reason I made this movie which is to help you understand when to let your puppy out the crate it's pretty simple you really want to be avoiding ever letting your puppy out of the crate when they're crying . that's the rule that's what you're trying to achieve now look I know I understand it's not always easy to achieve that however there's a number of things you can do here's dear Moses he sat in my in my office here next to me and he's in his crate and this has been Aussies making its day - and I'm already switched on I know that if I let him out he'll learn from date to date weeks old but I've had him two days he will learn that when I make this noise I open the door now look what have my ignored him you made all that noise he does calm down he actually just settles himself down which is why I've got this little series of videos here for you to watch I'm not just making it up but there is a catch you have to make sure a he doesn't need the toilet B he is not thirsty as convened desperate for water see he that he's not hungry as can be and D that he's actually been exercised and he's actually tired out as you can see he was actually exhaust that the little boy was exhausted but he's trying it on so you've got to cover all your bases is he warm enough is he safe has he been fed watered excess has he got all of his needs have you fulfilled his needs and if the answer is yes then I really suggest that you put Pavlov's theory into practice and you ignore him that way you're actually training him look you don't tell me what to do when to let you out because otherwise you are making a road for you run back remember you've got this dog for 12 more years and you've got to ask the question are you the leader rather follow your follower are you making the rules for your dog and showing him how to behave or is he starting to train you cuz trust me puppies will start to train you at eight weeks old it's almost like Pavlov's theory is pre-programmed into their wonderful beautiful logical little minds they are so logical so much more logical than we are as humans that's my belief anyway now two other really important little tips to help you firstly if you have a puppy who's maybe been whining away for half an hour and you're thinking what do I do what should I have done have I made a mistake the first thing to do is ask yourself have you maybe forgotten something have you not fulfilled your puppy's needs maybe they need a drink maybe they're desperate for water have they been fed have they got toys have they got lots of things to do or they or doubt their mind and have you exercise them fully maybe they really are saying I need to get out of this little crate crate or this penned area that's the case you need to sort that it's sort that all that stuff out and and make sure they're happy when you put them away in the little area the second thing is you may just have a puppy who's saying come on it's been an hour and now I want to come out because you normally let me out after an hour and you think of well I'm happy for my puppy to come out but I don't want to open the pen until they stop barking and you're asking a question how long do they have to be quiet for before you let them out and the answer is look if your puppy gives you a ten or twenty or thirty or maybe a minute's silence seize the moment and say well at least they're giving me a bit of silence let them out when they're calm rather one than when they're actually barking you never want to open that door when they're excited and barking so they learn even if it's only I've been quiet for 20 seconds they learn that and the next time they learn to be quiet for 30 seconds and then a minute then two minutes and very soon they learn that when they are quiet and calm the door opens if you do it the other way around and reward them then you can guarantee your logical little dog will get it barking open the door and that's obviously not what you want so remember public Pavlov's theory it's a great one for all areas of training your dog I'm doggy Dan for more information about training your puppy for more information on project Moses you
