If you want your dog to get into the habit of sleeping in the den from a young age, don't let it go to bed with you from the first day it arrives, Once a habit is formed, it is difficult to correct.

Training the dog to sleep in the den, first of all prepare a comfortable den for the dog. Training should start with puppies. When the dog is full to sleep, the owner can lead the dog to the kennel. While pushing it in, give the order, and if the puppy obeys the order and goes to sleep, rub the neck and praise it softly. If the puppy does not obey the command, you can increase the tone and force the puppy into the kennel with your hands. The owner waits by the kennel for a while until the puppy falls asleep.

If the dog is usually seen sleeping elsewhere, the owner must immediately issue a command to order the dog to return to the den. After a period of training, the dog will form a conditioned reflex. Once he wants to sleep, he will consciously return to the den. Even if he does not want to sleep, as long as the owner issues an order, the dog will immediately return to the den.

In addition, in order to create a comfortable and clean sleeping environment for the dog, the owner must pay attention to maintaining the hygiene of the kennel, and regularly clean and disinfect the kennel.
