Dog Crate Training Tips

Filed under: Basic Information — admin @ 1:36 am

If you have just brought a new puppy home, getting a dog crate for him will be essential and will serve various purposes. Puppies are too small to adjust to large spaces and they will get easily intimidated by the sheer size of the space around them. Keeping him in a good sized crate will reassure him and help him to cope with the large space that he sees around him.

If you are trying to housebreak your puppy, a large dog crates will serve as an invaluable training tool. Regardless of your puppy’s size and breed, a dog crate is vital for training him. A crate is also very useful if you have a puppy that is naughty and need to contain his excitement. If it gets difficult for you to handle your puppy all you have to do is put him back in his crate and that should help him to relax and calm down. You can also use the wire dog crate if you want to leave your puppy alone for a few hours. A young puppy that has just walked into your house will have a strong tendency to bite and chew onto things and may also soil your carpets. Putting your puppy into the crate before you leave your house is a good way to ensure that your puppy doesn’t get into trouble and doesn’t mess your furniture.

If your dog gets easily distracted, feeding him can be a task because after every few morsels he will go around sniffing and playing. You can use a crate to feed your puppy if he tends to get distracted often. Just place your puppy inside the crate with his feeding bowl so that he can eat in peace.

Here are a few tips that will help you select the perfect dog crate for your puppy

Choosing a crate of the correct size is important if you want to maximize its effectively as a training tool. While choosing a crate for your dog keep his height and width in mind. This is particularly important if you are using the crate to potty train your dog. If the small dog cages is too small it will be uncomfortable for your puppy but if it is too large he will segregate it into two parts and use one area to sleep and the other area as a bathroom. So it’s essential to keep in mind your dog’s size before you buy a crate.

Some puppies tend to grow faster than the others depending on their breed. If you own a puppy of a large breed the best solution for you would be a crate meant for adult dogs that comes with a built in divider. This is also a wonderful choice for larger puppies. The built in dividers help you to manage the space that you allot to your puppy. With the help of the dividers you can give him enough place to lie down comfortable and turn around if he wants to.

Finally if you are using a dog crate you will need to use some kind of bedding on the floor. Many pet owners are dismayed to find their puppy’s using the crate as their bathroom even though the size of the crate is perfect. If you are also encountering a similar situation you may want to take a look at the choice of your bedding. A thick luxurious bedding may look very inviting to your dog to urinate on. Instead go for thinner bedding. Relatively easy to use and inexpensive bedding is a news paper. It is fairly thin so it doesn’t induce a tendency to urinate in your dog and it is also very hygienic because it can be discarded if your dog soils it
