Dog
crates provide a safe haven for puppies and make training
your dog easier
Young
puppies can be trained by introducing them to dog
crates from the start. Puppies should receive positive
reinforcement only and treat based rewards to get them
interested in going inside their new crate. As dogs
are den animals by nature, this is by no means cruel.
In fact, by getting your puppy accustomed to his new
crate you are helping him to feel rested and secure
in a space he can call his own.
The
ideal size in choosing a crate is to plan for the dog's
ultimate size.
While the crate may seem huge compared to the size of
the puppy, adding a divider to separate the crate into
two areas (one for eating, the other for sleeping),
will reduce the extra space. As your puppy grows you
can get rid of the divider and he will have all the
room he needs without your having to purchase a new
crate.
An important reason for crate training your dog is
that you will find it easier to travel with your pet.
Dogs that have been crate trained are very comfortable
with their homes and adjust much more easily to dog
carriers and dog kennels used for air travel and car
travel. Or if your pet is staying behind, this will
make your dogs kennel boarding experience less stressful.
It is possible to board your dog in the comfort of his
own dog carrier or dog kennel, a familiar space that
he feels secure and comfortable in.
