Making the decision to get a dog Crate for your puppy is a step in the right direction for numerous reasons.
As a dog owner (veteran or newbie), many pet owners and professional dog trainers will advise that you crate-train your puppy as soon as possible. This process involves familiarizing your puppy with a crate or an enclosed space. Your puppy can take naps and find comfort inside when in transit. You will also use them when you are away from home. It will help you manage your puppy in a multitude of ways.
A crate sees to it that your pet is mischief-free. It can develop into a beneficial habit for your four-legged creature who likes the monotony of routine and a feeling of security. The crate is a unique, snug place for your puppy to be safe, like an indoor dog kennel inside the home. 🐶
Five ways dog crates help you take care of your puppy:
- A dog crate will smoothly ease your pet puppy into the process of house training, including bathroom routines.
- Your belongings are safe and secure in your absence. No fear of discovering gnawed items on your return home
- It can provide a safe retreat for your puppy if he or she is sometimes spooked or experiences anxiety attacks.
- If neutered or spayed, your puppy can be kept quiet and undisturbed in a crate after the operation. It can significantly aid a speedy recovery through conscious confinement while helping to limit activity and movement.
- It is a great place to keep your puppy to curb certain unruly behavior like dashing out of the front door once it is open or leaping onto your unsuspecting guests.
- In a household of more than two pets, crates can help in a host of ways during pets’ care and management, such as bath time, feeding time, grooming time, medication time, recovery time, etc.
Now shopping for the best pup crate for your pet requires specific considerations, namely size, purpose, style, comfort, durability, space, ease of use, affordability, safety, and material. But the foremost concern is with the size of the crate so the puppy can be comfortable depending on its size. If it is too small, it becomes more of a prison. Or if it is too big, it brings along other problems. A Dog Crate correctly sized for your puppy will allow it to comfortably stand, lay down outstretched, and swirl around in.
To make this happen would entail carefully measuring your puppy while it is standing as well as sitting. Then adding, at least two inches and, at most, four inches to whatever results you get before going out to select and purchase his or her very own dog crate. Remember, it is the epitome of a special snug spot in your house so getting it right is important. 🦴👀🐕
