Yes, Problems can be easily prevented if your puppy is properly dealt with early on. It's so important to avoid puppy training mistakes during your puppy's housetraining.

Is crate training right when puppy training?
Yes! in fact it's the very best and humane way to approach puppy training BUT if it's not approached correctly it can backfire. If it's approached correctly, it a piece of cake!...for both of you.
You CAN'T just get a crate and put your puppy in there. This is one of the biggest mistakes that pet owners make that can easily traumatize a puppy during his critical puppy training and imprinting stages.
If your puppy is stressed or traumatized by improper crate training, this can many times lead to your puppy not being able to control eliminating in the crate or excessive whining in the crate or both.
You'll need to take specific steps to prevent or stop these behaviors.
During your puppy’s housetraining and critical imprinting stages, using the crate appropriately ensures that your furniture, carpet, etc. will survive while your puppy is learning his acceptable behaviors.
(A crate or an acceptable confined area can be used in the beginning stages of puppy training and housetraining.) Using confinement in the right manner also makes your puppy's potty training become successful MUCH faster and with very few messes to clean up.
A few crate training principles for your puppy
* Puppies should not be given the run of the house right away.
* Puppies (or dogs) should not be confined for too long.
* The puppy must not feel threatened or frightened during crate introduction. (Caution should be used here... because what doesn't seem threatening to us may have a very negative impact on your puppy).
*Scolding and or yelling have NO place in crate training; especially while your puppy is inside the crate. This can be the start of many behavioral problems such as fear based aggression, obsessive compulsive disorders, submissive urination...
and the list goes on.

Puppy training and how puppies develop
Genetics are very diversified and play a definite role in your puppy's behavior and how your dog will behave. Look at all the breeds you have to choose from.
Dogs were originally picked and bred for their particular behavioral (along with conformational) tendencies. (Although, even within specific breeds you will find many variations of personalities...which is why it's important to know something about how to pick a puppy out of a litter that's right for you, your personality and your family dynamics)
Every now and then you may get a dog whose genetics are haywire, and who may not develop 'normally', but while you should consider how you choose your breed and his personality, you should especially take even more care in how you choose to interact with your puppy, housetrain your puppy and the methods you use to teach him obedience if you want your puppy to be a happy and well-mannered canine companion.
It's wisest to choose a breed and personality that will thrive within your lifestyle and then take steps to ensure that you're interacting with and training your puppy in ways that will allow him to build a positive and cooperative bond with you.
Be aware of your puppy's sensitivities
Several situations that we may perceive as normal from a human perspective, can in fact, be confusing and/or frightening to our puppies and could very much harm the bond that we want to create with our dogs.
This again is only because, (no matter how it appears from a human standpoint), puppies and dogs do not have and never will have the same perceptions of their environment as we do!
It's important to be aware of your puppy's individual sensitivities, how certain stimuli will affect him and his personality type and then know exactly how to deal with these situations. This knowledge can ensure that you raise the perfect puppy you've always wanted...a puppy who will become a well adjusted, happy and reliably trained companion.
Shaping good puppy behavior with only proven and positive methods keeps the relationship between you and your dog healthy and fun so your puppy training journey can be a joy and not worrisome. It will literally pave the way to a dog that is easily trained and able to learn many desired and fun behaviors.
Now you can take advantage of these new and gentle ways to keep puppy problems from getting out of control.
