Crate Training Puppy – Learn to do it right!
Hi there, we have two adult dogs and will be adding a puppy to the family. The older dogs were both crate trained, but due to lack of space once they were about a year an a half we had to allow them free roam of the house (no problems)
We want to crate train the puppy, but three crates just does not work for us. How difficult will this be to crate train the puppy with the other two running free? Read responses / comments below...

We have an adult dog and just got a puppy. Obviously we need to crate the puppy while we are at work & we haven’t had any problems. Like all puppies, he cries and barks while in the crate so we make sure the older dog has access to the upstairs so he can get away from the noise. We were very worried at first about the 2 dogs getting along, but they have started playing together now and I feel a lot better. It took about 4 weeks. However, the puppy is still too young to be left outside of the crate when we aren’t home. Good Luck!!
It should be fine. I crate trained my dogs and added a puppy not long ago and crate trained him. He did just fine.
I don’t see why this would be a problem. Once the pup is trained, then he/she too can have the freedom of roaming the house.
Hi there. you should be just fine crate training the puppy. The puppy will not know the difference, as he has not been roaming freely the entire time. We have 3 Shih Tzu’s. Buster, Brandy and the new little man (Bandit) which is their puppy. Okay, so I needed to give a shout out there
But we have them all in crates.
