Crating your dog can be a valuable training tool and a safe, cozy space for them. To prevent destructive behavior, use a crate when house-training your puppy, during travel, or when you can't directly supervise them. However, avoid crating your dog for extended periods and never use the crate as punishment. Visit our vet if your dog has atypical behaviors that need further evaluation. peelvet.ca/
