Many articles and news events have been written these days about your dog’s future and health, and how each and every one of us dog owners can make a substantial difference in our dogs’ longevity simply by taking a few simple and smart decisions regarding our farts I myself have written many articles from complementary medicine, training to holistic diets.
And clearly, I realize that not everyone has the time to read articles that are thoroughly researched and explain information, highlight a topic, and offer quality long-form content. But it is difficult to do when the author wants to make sure that the content of the article is complete and informative for the reader. So I’m going to try something new for myself, and that is to write some articles that are short and sweet and designed to make the reader respond rather than go to bed with it.
Simplified: Crate Training: Your New Pup
1. In my opinion, crate training is one of the best ways to housebreak your dog or puppy. One thing you can count on is that they definitely won’t make a mess in your little house.
2. Be sure to line the crate with blankets or you can purchase specially made crate covers and mat sets on our site that give the crate a den-like atmosphere. Puppy especially likes this effect. It makes them feel as if they are in a small cave. instinctive
3. You can use the box for a variety of situations, such as
(a) Quiet time for your pup to get away from the usual chaos at home, especially if you have children.
(b) Naps
(c) When you have to go shopping or go to work.
(d) Night sleep.
4. You want to make sure you buy a cage that has room to grow and provides dividers for size, as well as enough room for them to stand up, lie down, and the ability to turn around. A well-ventilated box is wire-framed and works best. Be sure to use the divider provided with the box to set it up as described above.
5.Very important. When you take the dog out of the crate, always take the dog or puppy outside for a walk so they can relieve themselves. They will go immediately. Do not waste time or you will have an accident.
6. NEVER leave your puppy in the crate all day because he has to relieve himself. Although it is commonplace for your pup not to relieve himself in the small area he is confined to and calls home. If they have to go!… They will go. Even if they really don’t want to. If you delete, it is because you have neglected your responsibility, or could not get home on time, if you are a single parent. Not because they have misbehaved.
7. Last important lesson for you. Remember, under no circumstances should you use the box as a punishment. The crate in your dog’s mind should always be a happy haven for them, not solitary confinement, also known as a jail cell.
8. Be aware: Dog and puppy love boxes because they exponentially mimic a wolf den. Don’t think of the box as a cruel action. Professional trainers have used them for years, and dogs enjoy them as long as they are used as defined above and not used as punishment of any kind.
