Some Simple Crate Training Tips
Posted by the author on March 5th, 2010A crate can be a worthwhile and useful dog training tool. Its main function is to provide security, safety and protection for shorter duration confinement while you are training your puppy or new dog with regard to the house limits.
A training crate might appear like a prison cell, yet when used appropriately it will be the pups natural den ,a private living space where he’ll come to feel relaxed and even comfy.
The most effective site to place a crate would be where your dog is able to see you and members of the family, hear and also smell the house. The kitchen is generally a excellent place.
The best crate must be large enough to permit your dog to stretch out, stand without hitting his head and manage to turn around. The crate should not be so big that the dog can relieve himself in one corner and move away to play and sleep in another.
If your pup is still young and is not entirely grown, attempt to block away a certain area of the training crate with cardboard or wooden boards.
In order to help your dog to “like� his new den, you should preferably equip it with soft bedding, a bowl of water and a toy that he prefers.
