Once your dog is comfortable eating and playing inside the crate, start closing the door for a few minutes at a time. Gradually increase the amount of time the door is closed.
If your dog barks or whines when you put them in the crate, don’t give in and let them out. Instead, wait until they stop barking or whining and then let them out. This will help them learn that they can’t get out of the crate until they calm down.

How To House Train Dog Without Crate
There are a few different methods you can use to house train your dog without using a crate. One method is to use a designated spot in your house where your dog is allowed to go to the bathroom. Whenever you see your dog start to pee or poop, you should take them to their designated spot and say “go potty.” You should also give them a treat once they finish going to the bathroom in their designated spot. Another method you can use to house train your dog is to use a timer. Whenever you see your dog start to pee or poop, you should set a timer for five minutes and take them to their designated spot once the timer goes off. If your dog goes to the bathroom in their designated spot within the five minute time-frame, you should give them a treat. If your dog does not go to the bathroom in their designated spot within the five minute time-frame, you should put them in a time-out.
