πΎ The Benefits of your πΎ
There are many benefits to crate training your ! As a puppy, using a crate aids potty training and keeps your puppy safe from hazardous behavior, such as chewing, and supports supervision. Warning - Your puppy will tug your heart strings by crying and yelping when in the crate. Make this a positive experience! Provide a treat filled toy, ensure activity and enrichment needs are met throughout the day with plenty of out time, take out to the potty frequently, and never use the crate as punishment.
As your puppy grows into adulthood, the crate will teach your dog how to rest and relax by themselves, establishes boundaries, provides safety, and prevents destructive behaviors. These factors drive down stress and anxiety in your dog, as well as you!
Also, on occasions when dog may be in a boarding situation, placed in kennels at the veterinary clinic, and grooming salons, your dog accustomed to the crate. This familiarity will produce comfort for your dog and less stress.
On this topic, I will often hear the comment "Well I don't board my dog!" Dogs are a lifetime commitment, and will be with you on average 10 to 18 years. To think you will never go on vacation, be hospitalized, conduct business travel, etc is not realistic and lmits lifestyle. Instead, prepare your dog for these situations and research the facilities you utilize.
