How To Crate Train Your Dog

Today’s feature tip is from PuppyBuzz with instructions for puppy crate training

If you won’t be home full time with your puppy, crate training is necessary. Puppies love to roam around, investigate things and chew - chew - chew! As puppy gets older, he’ll also find ways to get into the garbage. This can be a serious hazard to your pup as many foods are not good for him (coffee grounds, certain meats and fats, etc.).

By crate training your puppy, you’ll not only be giving him his own space, you’ll be protecting him from himself when you’re not around to watch.

Training tips include:

Use a proper sized & type of crate
Let the puppy get familiar with the crate before keeping him inside for any length of time
Don’t let the crate be used as punishment, use it for comfort and happy times
Training can take up to 4 days only!
