My dogs know what 'Go to Bed' means. When I say that they run for the back door (the way to the basement) and, once I open the door, they all charge down the stairs and run into their respective crates/pens.

How did I train such enthusiasm for going into crates? Simple - every single time they went in they got a treat.

Every Single Time

Usually it's just a piece of a baby sized dry dog biscuit. Sometimes it's something really good - like a slice of beef jerky.

Now that they are all pros at going to bed I still give them treats - maybe not every time but usually around 75-85% of the time.

They KNOW that going in the crate means they are going to be locked up for awhile. I try to make it as fun as possible by giveng them treats most of the time.

Michael Bloom's Israel Dog Training Blog

agility-israel
This is in Israel where I live

The first link really applies to dog obedience class although it seems the last class was in september which means that there is not enough people or something.
The second link doesn`t seem like obedience class to me.

You made me motivation and I did my own search and guess what I found?
I just can`t believe it - I found a place that deals with obedience and training near my living area!
I'm going to call them tomorrow and find out more details, I'm so excited and embarrassed that I wasn`t looking more deeply at this before. According to their videos they look very professional: (what do you think?)

Lauri & The Gang - That's the way I'm teaching my dog right now and it works great, He's still not perfect but he is quickly learning!

Thank you for your endless help, I really appreciate it!
I will update tomorrow

Acejin , good for YOU for finding some classes! Can't wait to hear updates and hope you continue with the classes!

Though agility-israel (<--- that site) is for agility training rather than obedience, the dogs quickly end up off leash so a certain level of 'obedience' is also taught. If not in AGILITY classes then I bet the facility has recommendations of other places that can help.

GOOD LUCK!

I can't remember if I saw a video on the crate command or if I read it on the forums...

Getting a clicker would really help since you can click once the dog hops into the crate.

Strangely enough, the "crate" command is probably the only command my pup is currently 100% accurate on. I say crate, and in she goes. If I have treats, then she goes in so fast the plastic panel shakes lol.

since my dog was a puppy i always said "go to your crate" whenever i crated him. he knows that it means go to the crate. i can be anywhere in my house and tell him that and he will go straight in there and lay down he wont leave even if the door is unlocked.
