tool and haven place for dogs gives multiple advantages.
Canidae or canine
species in the wild build their own dens as their private rooms, homes and
territory. Modern and domestic dogs also have the same behavior and needs of
having their own comfort zone and we can provide it to them in the form of dog
beds and dog crates. These beds and crates are definitely far softer, more
comfortable, enjoyable to rest and the best den or territory for the special
members of our family, our dogs and pets. Let’s enumerate some of most common
and unusual advantages of quality dog crates.
Dog Crates for Potty
Training. The crate is one of the easiest and most
effective tool and method for potty training, especially for newly adopted or
very young dogs. It is recommended to use crate for potty training for young
dogs, the younger the better. Proper introduction of the crate is very
important for easy and fast settling down of dogs to his new home. Below are
few important tips on using dog crates to help develop a well-confident dog at
home:
- Right size of crate. Some people took mistake on purchasing
a big crate for small dogs and pups. The ideal size is getting your dog
current height and choose crates that is just enough for him to eat and
sleep. Consider only the place for the water and bowl, right space for him
stand up, turn around and curly. Too small is very uncomfortable while too
big gives him space to potty at one side and sleep on other side and he
will develop that uncontrollable potty if this happens. There are
available adjustable dog crates to accommodate different size of a pup as
he grows up.
- Correct accessories. At first, use only ordinary rugs or
used clothes on crates for new dogs or pups as they are still on teething
and chewing stages. Refrain from purchasing expensive dog beds as it will
not last for chewy dogs. Also for additional comfort, you may provide dog
crate cover to let him feel more private and distracted from outside noise
and busy environment.
- Time for Crates. At first few weeks, let your dog in
the crate for several short times of a day and not too long, just around
1-2 hours. He needs to play, get socialized, time for potty outside and
other activities he should enjoy. You can only leave him at crate when you
are about to go outside for long time such as work, make sure to provide
fresh water and chewable toys such as rawbones or gnaw toys that would
make him busy inside for long hours that also promote good health such as
teeth cleaning gnaw toys.
- Do not on Crates. Aside for extra space, refrain from
leaving any harmful or any object that could hurt your dog. Make sure the
bowls are attached permanently, remove any collar or leash that could
entangle or could stuck your dog and get hurt.
