thanks very much and hoping it will work. would be thankfule if you provide me how to begin with crate training as he is 2 years old. some suggestions pl.
Does he now go in if you toss a reward in first?
Do you sometimes toss in the reward and then let him go in and out, door left open?
You want the crate to be his good place.

Well, for me, I would want the crate entry to be solid. You mentioned being worried about that.
So I would toss a nice treat near the back of the crate and leave the door open for him to enter and leave and become happy with the crate.
I'm not a fan of turning the crate into a bad place, a punishing place. Unfortunately, it seems that this dog doesn't really have "good crate" in place yet, so for me, I'd be working on that, and, at the same time, on other aspects of pack structure training. This is just me, though.
I think others may have different POVs.
If you could tell us what are the most worrisome behaviors of this dog, I'll bet we could help more.

thank you very much. this dog shiro is resting in his cozy crate while i am writing to you. i tried the method of loving the crate in yester night. after his night walk, he moved in to the crate. i alerted him by calling his name and tossed the treat. he took it. now i neared to crate and offered another treat and at the same time i tried to close the door. at this he growled. i quietly said no. this behaviour happens sometime and most of the time i easily close the gate.
now i come to most worrisome behaviour. whenever he sees another dog whether pet or stray he goes crazy except some dogs who used to play with him since puppyhood. i wanted to know whether this has some remedy. this behaviour bothers me most. actually i have gone through the e books and question and answer section and found that there is a thin ray on this behaviour.
next comes the issue of cats. he goes crazy towards stray cats in the building.
right now i am imposing the pack structure program and as i told you earlier that i chain the dog for the purpose. here i meant chaining up to the time when he becomes silent. as per the program, no eye contact, no play, no toys. how can i vent out the energy by imposing this.
sorry i has become long but i would like to mention other things also because i think that i am at the right place with load of hopes.

Why not feed the dog in the crate with the door left open. That way it will lean it can come and go at will and the crate is a place where good things (meals) happen.
When he growls when you try and close the dog it could very well be your body language. Your probably bent over the dog and crate and that can be threatening to many dogs.
Just don't worry about closing him up in there till he's comfortable with the whole idea.
When you do decide to close the crate then squat down sideways to the dog and crate. That will be much lees of a threat to him.
old dogs LOVE to learn new tricks |

What Bob says, I too have seen owners do without meaning to.
I see you have listed three worrisome behaviors:
1. now i come to most worrisome behaviour. whenever he sees another dog whether pet or stray he goes crazy except some dogs who used to play with him since puppyhood. i wanted to know whether this has some remedy. this behaviour bothers me most. actually i have gone through the e books and question and answer section and found that there is a thin ray on this behaviour.
2. next comes the issue of cats. he goes crazy towards stray cats in the building.
3. right now i am imposing the pack structure program and as i told you earlier that i chain the dog for the purpose. here i meant chaining up to the time when he becomes silent. as per the program, no eye contact, no play, no toys. how can i vent out the energy by imposing this.
Number 1 can be significantly dialed back, although probably not 100% fixed. It's going to take desensitizing, which I can link you to detailed threads about (a little later ; I have to work today). For now, tell us what "going crazy" means. Does he just bark, or try to pull away from you, or what? How avoidable are these dogs (for now)? That is, can you time your power walks and set their location to minimize these encounters?
Number 2. Do you mean when you are out walking the dog?
Number 3. Do you do rapid walks, marching right along?

Do you know about NILIF ("nothing in life is free")?
I'd have a very strict NILIF program in place.
Right now is a three-day weekend here, but you'll start to get more replies.

thank you very much. for no 1 i am feeling that it is coming under control. for no 2 he goes crazy after the cats means he tries to pull away harder whenever he sees the cat while walking the dog inside the building premises and in the corridor as well as the trash bins are placed in the corridor and cat comes to find the left over.
for no 3 yes i have to march rapid because dog moves fast.

And you have him on a regular 6-foot leash, right?
Never on one of those insane retractible leashes?
Did you understand about NILIF training, by the way?
Yes. March rapid! March rapidly but always calmly.
