I really enjoyed watching this video. It is amazing how Susan Garrett's dogs are trained to LOVE their crate and will remain inside it even when there are very enticing distractions right outside the open door. I worked this program a bit with my older dog and it did significantly improve his willingness to crate up. I haven't started it with my pup but will soon. I think it would be particularly useful to people with multiple dogs. I would find it very helpful to have one of my dogs remain quietly in his crate waiting while I train with the other one.

Pros: watch the video for very specific training steps

Cons: would be nice if the video came with a written training plan
