Reasons to Crate Train Your Dog
- House Breaking
- Animal Safety
- Safe Transportation
- Exposure to the crate and comfort in case of vetting or an emergency
- prevention of damage to your home
- prevention of eating potentially dangerous household items that can either harm or kill your dog
- prevention of damaging your personal items, like your shoes or that brand new TV you just got—now your four legged friend managed to chew the power wire to it…(Frustrated?)
- Creatures of habit, so why set up a routine of bad habits when you can set a routine for success and happiness
- Introduction of a new dog into your home with an existing dog or cat
- Drive Building and focus for working dogs
Crate Training Cons: (Consult a trainer for most of these)
- Dog is super hyper the moment I let them out of the crate
- I can’t get a leash and collar on them quick enough upon opening the crate to let my dog out
- Dog whines and cries or barks when he or she is in the crate
- Dog barks at other pets or people when in the crate
