Why Crate Train?
The most common misconception about a dog crate is that it is a cruel form of caging a Pet. In fact dogs in the wild live in a den which provides protection and a great deal of psychological satisfaction. They have a strong natural tendency to seek out this type of shelter.
If your dog has no place to call his own, he will attempt to curl up under a table, a chair or some other choice location. Your dog, therefore, will find a crate to be a secure and safe sanctuary in the same manner as a wolf enjoys the comfort of a den for resting and eating.
You will also be taking advantage of his natural instinct to keep his home clean, therefore, when he has to “go” he will try to hold it until you can take him outside to the proper area. This will teach him a schedule and help him eliminate accidents.
Next to the training collar and leash,the dog crate is the training tool most recommended by professional dog trainers,groomers and veterinarians。Once accustomed to the dog crate,unfavorable behaviors such as house soiling,destructive chewing,digging,unnecessary barking and howling can be avoided. Since the dog's habits will be much easier to regulate by using the dog crate ,discipline for misbehavior will be less necessary, which will allow a stronger dog and owner relationship.
Most of all, by providing him a safe and secure home, he’ll be happier and more self confident.
Never leave your dog locked in his crate for long periods alone.
