It’s a vital skill ✅

Crate training is an important skill for all dogs, but especially for puppies!

Crates help provide:
🐾A Safe Space for puppies to have where they are not disturbed, is cozy, and can provide a restful spot to decompress.

🐾Aids with Potty Training- Most puppies don’t want to p*e where they sleep which when utilized effectively, can minimize accidents in the house!

🐾Prevents Damaged Items-Giving your puppy structured crate times, especially when they hit gremlin mode, can help save you you furniture legs, kids’ toys, and shoes from damage! (TIP: add a chew on their crate while monitoring them to help them get out their chewing needs to help them decompress and sleep)

Your puppy’s first experiences can set the tone for the future

Many new puppy owners think more is better—meeting more people, greeting more dogs, and experience more environments.

However, if we are not mindful of each individual dog, we can actually be setting our puppies up for failure.

Let’s make sure we set them up for success:
🐾Go slow
🐾Let them explore at their pace
🐾Reward curiosity

Socialization isn’t about exposure, it’s about creating positive experiences.

🐾 What’s one new place your pup has loved (or been unsure about)?
