Puppy Crate Training Plan & Log, Vet-Sourced Schedule Tracker (Fillable PDF)

Crate training plan, daily log & 6-step schedule to help your puppy or dog settle calmly in the crate — a fillable, printable, vet-sourced PDF in English + Spanish.

Crate training goes wrong when it's rushed. This plan walks you through it at your dog's pace — a gentle, positive-association method drawn from vet and animal-welfare sources, so the crate becomes a safe den your dog chooses, never a place to park them for hours.

Type right into it on your phone, tablet, or computer — or print it and fill it in by hand. Reuse it for every dog.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• The 6-step ladder — introduce → feed inside → close the door → short stays → out of sight → real absences, each with a clear "move up when" cue
• Daily crate-session log — date, time, step, duration, calm score, potty & whining, so you can watch the calm climb
• Weekly progress tracker + calm-trend chart
• "How long is too long?" — an honest, sourced age-by-hours guide (maximums, not targets)
• Get the size right — the fit test + a size-reference chart
• Whining vs. needs-a-potty — a simple decision guide
• Crate safety before every session — the collar/tag strangulation risk most guides skip
• When the crate is the wrong tool — stop-signs for separation & confinement anxiety
• Troubleshooting quick-reference + a filled-in example page
