I trained my female puppy using a kennel during the day, and it worked really well. I made the kennel a cozy, positive space by adding a soft bed and some of her favorite toys. At first, I left the door open and let her explore at her own pace, getting her comfortable with it.

Then, I started closing the door for short periods—maybe 10-15 minutes—while I was around. Every time she was calm and quiet, I rewarded her with treats and praise.

I gradually increased the time she spent in there. It was important not to leave her in too long during the day, but with patience, she got used to it and now loves her little space!
