Crate training your puppy is an essential aspect of housetraining your puppy. Crate training may be associated with confinement, but confinement is not imprisonment. Your puppy’s crate is the perfect way to let him know he has his own safe space in the house.
Crate training has a lot of advantages.
- Crates keep curious and unsupervised puppies from toxic items or unsafe household situations.
- Crates help teach your puppies to hold their bladder because they don’t want to soil the space where they sleep.
- Crates help teach your puppy to self-soothe as crates can be their haven when surroundings become too noisy or chaotic such as fireworks in the New Year or if there’s construction going on.
With patience and consistent practice and training, your pup will eventually learn to appreciate his crate. Just remember, the key to great crate training is by making it a positive experience for your puppy.
Any issues you may have about your pet’s health and/or behavior should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Kerrville TX.
