Little Known Secrets to Crate Training Dogs

Little Known Secrets to Crate Training Dogs

by Craig Clemins

Crates have become a popular training method in recent times. They have helped dog owners train difficult dogs and have in fact influenced the number (reduced) of dog abandonments. Crates allow dogs to be trained in a safe secure environment.

Crates can be of great use when you are traveling and also for when you are house training your dog. They have many benefits, some of which I will outline below.

Veterinarians have mixed reviews about the dog crate. Some see it as an acceptable and useful tool for the training of your dog. While others say it is potentially dangerous and that it is unfair confinement. However, it is used by dog show and training professionals for the purpose of properly training show dogs.

Veterinarians question whether or not a dog is being inhumanely treated when it is enclosed in a crate. The fact is that crates have numerous benefits that lead to you having a better bond with your dog. Furthermore, when dogs are trained properly they have a sense of safety and security when they are inside their crates.

Some more advantages to using crates include being able to relax when you're not at home knowing that your furniture and household items are safe from destruction, knowing you won't return home to a new accident on the carpet, and knowing that you dog feels safe when you are not there. Additionally, crates are very practical for trips in the car with family.

Avoid leaving your dog in its crate all day. They need an opportunity every few hours to stretch their legs and exercise if possible. You should also try to let them out every one in a while to go to the toilet.

While crating is an excellent way for training most dogs it is not for every single dog. All dogs are different and what works well for some is clearly not an option for others especially older dogs.

Crate training works best when your dog is still a puppy. If you seem that no matter how persistent you are with your dog, you never get results, it might be time to stop attempting to use this method and to try a different one. - 20511
