Crate Training – Save Your House and Your Sanity

In so many ways crate training is beneficial. Your dog’s not yet learned how to behave in the house and you can’t supervise him/her for whatever reason, a crate is very useful. It can save your house and your sanity.

There are different sizes of crates, with a door (or two) and a roof, but a good one will be metal or wood. The dog can stand up, turn around, and lay in comfortably with secure and large enough area. You can put the crate in the room you use the most, like the living room or the kitchen. Dogs like to be where the “action” is.

Sometimes unattended dog for just a few moments can make a trouble. While I take a bath, my puppy’s 11 months old, he had gotten hold of the box of tissues left on the coffee table and proceeded to shred both the box and the tissues, and spread them all over the floor. There were a lot of tissues to pick up, because it was a new box.

I asked the puppy to go into his crate, and he went right in because he’s been taught that that’s a safe place to be. I use it as a “time out when he can’t be supervised” place not as a punishment. To help him be quiet down, I often keep a sheet covering the crate so that he feels “secure”. Crate training must be applied for the puppy.

Crate training is not to let your dog out of the crate when he’s barking or whining, it should be remember. They’ll get out if the dogs whine or bark long enough. You can suspect they have to relieve themselves after at least 10-20 minutes. And don’t leave your dog for long periods of time in a crate.
