Settling a puppy in the crate with the Trust Technique

Reading my blog article (https://www.thedependablecompanion.com.au/blog/crate-training-a-puppy/) as well as the notes below will help you understand what is unfolding in this video.
In the first five minutes of the video Pali is telling me how he is feeling about being in the crate, he cries, jumps up, paces, digs, etc. I listen to him without trying to stop him, distract him, telling him off, or ignoring him. He has some moments where he is quiet because something else temporarily catches his attention. But soon he sits more often rather than jumping up, indicating that his inner turmoil is lessening. In case you have the volume low when you are watching the video and wondering why I am looking away at 4:28, it's because I am asking one of my dogs quietly to go back onto his bed.
Yawning is a sign of release. At 5:30 and 5:50 Pali has a stifled yawn each and at 6:44 a big yawn. Right after, a whole lot of unpeace is coming up for him again expressed through his agitated behaviour. From about 8:00 minutes on, Pali starts to settle. It's a gradual process, interspersed with more unpeace bubbling up. At 10:42 he is relaxed and at peace.
Throughout Pali's process it looks as if 'I am just sitting there' but that's not all that is happening. I am not going to explain here what it is that I am doing. That is not the purpose of this article or the video. Rather, it's a demonstration that the Trust Technique can be applied to settle a puppy in their crate. The details of 'how to do it' can be learned via a video course or a consultation with a practitioner such as myself.
Pali was 9 weeks old in this video. He met me once before but had no previous exposure to the Trust Technique. It was his first time at doggy daycare at my house. I have helped about 50 or so dogs settle in their crate this way so far - daycare, holiday (boarding) and foster dogs. Usually it takes 30 to 60 minutes the first time. Puppies responding more quickly on the whole. Pali's process was very swift.
Including the Trust Technique in the upbringing of a puppy will be a life-altering experience for you. A great starting point to understand what the Trust Technique is about is the mini-course Messages of Trust, please use my affiliate link (https://trust-technique.com/product/messages-of-trust/tt/66/) if you decide to purchase it. Part 1 (20 minutes) is free to watch, the complete series (90 minutes altogether) is £ 6.50, a bit more than $ 10. The most comprehensive way to learn the Trust Technique is their online video course. If that doesn't suit you, you can work with a certified practitioner like myself.
