How do I get my dog to come out of his cage to go out? I try to pull him out but he bit me the last time. ?

He is a german shep so it was a big bite. I think he doesnt like going out in the morning because its cold but not sure. He will never bite when hes out of the cage only when hes in side his cage. even if i look at him the wrong way he will growl at me. Please help thank you

adunphy 		This is a case where I would definitely hire a dog trainer. There are lots of ways you can approach dogs and behaviors you can teach to stop the growling / biting, but there might be an overall relationship issue.

For the crate question, I always use treats with dogs that have issues with in and out of the crate. Open the door say "lets go". If he doesn't come out just go sit down and wait. When he comes out, throw a party - get his favorite toy, give him lots of treats and then take him out to potty. Pulling a dog out is never a good idea. Maybe its time to get rid of the crate at night? That would help solve the problem too.

Also, try pretending like you are going to get him out but just give him some food and walk away. The point it is to get him to forget there is an issue.

Not sure if this is going to help at all.
