Crate Training on Easy Mode!
This fun and flexible video course shows you how to teach crate training the right way, with daily guidance, expert tips, zero guilt, and a step-by-step plan for success.
Say goodbye to barking, whining, and stress—for both of you.
Why Crate Training Often Fails…
Tired of the barking, whining, and crate-time meltdowns?
Most crate training advice tells you to “just leave them in there.” But that often leads to barking, anxiety, and a damaged relationship with your dog. It can even make it HARDER to crate train your dog in the future, as they’ve already built up a negative association with the crate.
It’s not that crate training doesn’t work—it’s that most people are missing the crucial steps to make it actually enjoyable for the dog.
What If Your Dog Loved the Crate?
Imagine being able to say, “Go to your crate,” and watching your dog happily trot over and settle in. No whining. No stress. Just calm, confident independence—and peace of mind for both of you.
With our simple, easy-to-follow, step-by-step foolproof training plan, we’ll show you how to make the crate a SAFE and COMFORTING place for your dog rather than a source of stress!

Start off strong with a clear understanding of how crate training works, how it benefits both you and your dog, and what success looks like. You’ll learn how to set goals that fit your lifestyle and your dog’s needs from day one.

This is the heart of the course—your complete 12-day, step-by-step training plan. Follow along with clear daily instructions, demos, and printables that show you exactly how to build a positive, lasting relationship between your dog and their crate.
Take your training to the next level by teaching your dog how to enter and exit the crate calmly on cue.
No more second-guessing. We’ll cover how to handle crying, how long your dog can be crated, ethical considerations, and the most common mistakes dog parents make—so you don’t.
Ready to give your dog more freedom? Learn exactly when and how to move from crate training to safe, gradual free-roaming—without undoing your hard work.
Why Crate Training Fails So Often
Tired of the Barking, Whining, and Crate-Time Meltdowns?
Most crate training advice tells you to “just leave them in there.” But that often leads to barking, anxiety, and a damaged relationship with your dog. It’s not that crate training doesn’t work—it’s that most people are missing the crucial steps to make it actually enjoyable for the dog.
No More Crying, Whining, or Guilt—Just Peace and Progress
go from crate chaos to calm
Your dog doesn’t have to dread the crate—and neither do you. In just 14 days, you’ll turn crate time into calm time, using gentle methods that actually work. No more pacing at night. No more crying when you walk away from the crate. Just a happy, confident dog that settles into their crate like it’s a second home.
Advanced Skills Included—Because You’ll Be Ready for More
teach cues for exiting and ENTERING the crate too!
Once your dog is comfortable in the crate, we’ll show you how to teach cues like “go to crate” and “wait for release,” helping build structure, communication, and control. These are tools that make everything in your home run more smoothly.

What Our Students Say
“This course is easy to follow and the week-to-week break down really helped us to actually implement the activities, and kept things from feeling overwhelming! Our dog, Gunner, is loving the extra stimulation and with so many low cost ideas it was easy to implement a variety of things.
Since bringing home our new baby, I feel bad admitting it but I have not been able to devote as much time to Gunner as I used to. Our walks are not as plentiful these days. I had found that more recently he has appeared kind of more stressed, and more barky than he used to be.
Once I began giving him more activities and enrichment items like whats in the course, he became more settled and less vocal for sure. It makes me feel better knowing I am able to give him the stimulation he needs, even when I can’t give him as much one-on-one attention as I used to.”
“My dog Max has a history of being pretty destructive and an all-around chaos gremlin. He used to chew up his bed a lot…I used to have to crate him anytime I left the house.
I started doing some of the enrichment projects in this course on a daily basis and I have noticed a real change in him. It was a bit subtle at first, but he seems a lot calmer and more relaxed. And I find if I leave him with a puzzle or frozen item he can even be left alone, not crated! I didn’t realize how important it was to give him activities and things to do. He really is a much better dog now! And seems happier.
