Your dog's crate should be just large enough for the dog to stand up in, turn around, and lie down comfortably.  One of the reasons that crate-training is effective for housebreaking a dog is that dogs will not eliminate waste where they sleep.  If the crate is too large, the dog may use one end for sleeping, and use the other as a latrine.   If your puppy is still growing, you can buy a crate that will accommodate his adult size, and block off part of it with a divider (sold with some crates) to fill up the extra space. Many humane societies and some veterinarian's offices rent crates, so you can get one that is the appropriate size for your puppy and trade up as the animal grows. If you plan to use the crate for air travel, be sure to choose one that is approved by the FAA or your airline of choice. There are many different kinds of crates you can buy, including wire, plastic, and soft-sided.  Choose the best crate for your dog and circumstances.  Wire crates are the most inexpensive and breathable, and usually come with dividers for walling off part of the crate to accommodate a growing puppy. Plastic crates feel cozier to most dogs, and can usually be used for air travel. However, they aren't the best choice in hot weather as dogs that get hot easily. Soft-sided crates are lightweight and portable, however many dogs can chew their way out of them, and they can be difficult to clean. When you begin crate training, it is best to put the crate in a place where you and your family spend a lot of time during the day, like the kitchen or living room.  Dogs are social animals, and like to feel that they are part of the pack.  It is important not to put the crate in an isolated location, like the basement or garage. The crate should never feel like an isolating punishment for your dog.  You should plan to move the crate to your bedroom at night when training a puppy, so you can take the puppy out when it needs to go to the bathroom. Some dog owners simply set up two crates, one in the living area of their homes, and one in the bedroom. Place a blanket or towel on the bottom of the crate for the dog to sleep on. If you are using a mesh or wire crate, you can also drape a breathable blanket or towel over the top of the crate to create a cozier, more den-like atmosphere that  may help your dog feel more secure. Some dogs and puppies might mistake the bedding for something to chew on, or as bathroom material. If this is the case, remove the bedding and clean the cage, and proceed without bedding.  You can add it back in later as your dog matures. As you set up the crate, your dog may come over to investigate it.  Say positive things about the crate to show your enthusiasm for it, and allow your dog to explore.  However, you should not try to force your dog into the crate or close the door right away if he goes inside.  Getting used to the crate takes time and patience, and the more excited you seem about the crate, the more excited your dog will become.

Most states have specific requirements for a learner's permit: a driving student must have completed a certain amount of written driver's education, and (in some places) some hours at an accredited driving school as well. In most places, a learner's permit allows its holder to practice driving during specific times of the day, and in the presence of an older licensed driver. It's totally natural to be nervous about teaching your child to drive. If you're tense and snappy throughout the process, though, your teen will sense that, and it will not reflect well in their driving. Do your best to be kind and calm, especially if you're naturally a nervous driver.  Be aware of your body language as well as your words. If you sense yourself balling up your fists or tensing your shoulders, try to relax them. Remember that your child has a learner's permit; they already know quite a bit about the mechanics and safety of driving. You don't have to recite the Driver's Ed textbook at them. You only need to help them practice. This is a classic for good reason. With plenty of space and no one to get in the way, a parking lot is a great setting for low-pressure lessons. Plan to have your first lesson together here on a clear, sunny day. Try to avoid doing this in the cold--ice has a way of making an easy lesson difficult. On your way to the parking lot for the first lesson, point out to your teen what you're doing, and why. Are you accelerating? Why are you stopping? Who has the right of way at this intersection? Stop the car, remove the keys, then switch seats with your child. This may be their first time behind the wheel of a non-driver's-school car, so give them a moment to adjust. Encourage your child to start the car. Pick out a nearby marker (like a trash can or light post). Then tell them to drive in a straight line in the direction of the object, then stop. Next, have them try reversing a few feet. Encourage your teen to circle slowly, both clockwise and counterclockwise. Then try making corners, instead of smooth circles.  Even though there's no one else in the parking lot, make sure your teen is using the turn signals. Be careful not to do “doughnuts” (tight, skidding loops): they are dangerous, and you and your teen could get in trouble. Driving can be stressful, and a long lesson will wear on both of you. Try to cap your time at fifteen or twenty minutes--you can always come back to practice later in the week.
