Article Title: Top Reasons For Dog Crate Training

Often, many pet owners misunderstand the concept and the
importance of crate training. Believing that crating an animal
for any length of time is a cruel thing to do. Infact, dog crate
training is actually one of the best things you can do for your
pet. It gives him his own personal place that no one else
invades. If you think about it, you probably like having your
own space, so why wouldn't your dog?

One thing you need to remember about your pet. He is going to
want to be with you so it's best to either make sure his crate
is where he can see and hear other people. If it is going to be
an extra load on you to move his cage all over the house
purchase an extra cage. This will allow him to have one in the
bedroom and one in another part of the house.

Another advantage to crate training your dog is that if you
have somewhere he can be confined when you are away, you do not
have to worry about coming home and finding a mess. Older dogs
normally will hold their bathroom trips for a longer period of
time. However, puppies will pretty much go anywhere until they
get accustomed to going out or using puppy pads.

Dog crate training can be great if you are planning on taking
your pet with you somewhere that you have to fly. This can keep
them from being so nervous if they are already accustomed to
being in a crate. Traveling in their own crate that is familiar
to them will not be as upsetting either. Taking along a favorite
blanket or toy helps too.

A great advantage to crate training if you have a larger breed
dog such as a boxer is that he can go to his crate when company
is visiting. Some people are afraid of big dogs and it makes
them uncomfortable to know the dog can get to them. If he is in
a crate, it will ease the feelings of your guest and your dog.

Some dogs are just natural born chew machines. They will chew
anything and everything they can get their teeth into. So crate
training is a blessing if you have a job or places you need to
go. Then you won't have to come home to all of your belongings
chewed to pieces.

Just take into consideration when you do put your dog in his
crate that you don't make him stay inside for hours upon hours.
He needs to be able to get out and stretch his legs and go to
the bathroom. The crates can be comfortable but your dog needs
to be able to get out and stroll around to keep his muscles from
getting cramped.

We love our dogs, once you've successfully house-trained your
dog, remember to reward your dog for using his crate in the
correct manner! You have just taken the long rewarding road
towards creating a positive bond with your dog!
