In light of hurricane season and other recent events, I'd like to share something I came across today. Stellar advice in my opinion.
Anne
"Thought I’d do a quick post on some controversial things that IMHO have important purpose in dog ownership.

So, I advocate for training, even if these are not things you employ regularly or all the time.

1. CRATE TRAINING: When I was a new pet owner, the concept of crate training never occurred to me. Why? It just seemed so limiting and unnecessary.
I got heavily involved in the pro dog world (very different from the pet dog world), and got schooled on the various values in crate training. Two reasons stuck more then others, as NO MATTER WHAT type reasonings:
1a. Under emergency conditions, especially in the midst of chaos, dogs that are crate trained have a leg up over those that are not. They can be contained, they know how to relax, and they can be keep safe WITHOUT stressing (or reduced stress) due to containment. All my dogs are crate trained. All actually like a crate. All will calm if crated. And … over-crating a dog is just wrong. Dogs can’t just be shelved. This is a tool not a prison.
1b. My dogs travel in the car in a crate. If an accident were to occur there’s added protection for my dog. In many collisions dogs escape. I literally read about these situations weekly. It’s by far the safest transport method, and it provides them with “their own space” for travel.
1c. There are many methods for training, so for me crates BECAME a great tool for the way I train and manage my dogs (I have a few dogs).

2. MUZZLE TRAINING: This was a hard lesson for me. Hard because it didn’t come to me through shaming, but through circumstance.
Years ago my son and I got our first dog, and it never crossed my mind to think about a muzzle, though the little pooper was actually a gremlin.
A community (once again) EMERGENCY occurred and EVERYONE was required to muzzle their dogs. I had never thought about. Didn’t think to care about it, but I put the muzzle on my dog as AUTHORITIES required (everyone did).
Well, my dog freaked and proceeded to practically rip his face apart trying to get it off. I was horrified, and there was no alternative.
I cried, felt my boy’s terror and took to heart what had just happened and what I could do to change the outcome, should that ever happen again.
The cure was once again exposure and training. Fortunately my boy was willing to learn, and in training I found that muzzles are not difficult to train for. In fact, a muzzle can become your dog’s favorite and proudest tool. They are treat machines. Today I train every one of my dogs on a muzzle.
I don’t typically use a muzzle, but every one of them will take a muzzle (please give me the muzzle … and don’t forget the treat 😛😋), and all I do is keep them current with familiarity.

Last but not least …

3. MEDICINE: I actually have not seen this come up in the threads, but its a perspective that most folks don’t consider and has been important to me.
All of my dogs will take medicine WITHOUT A TREAT WRAP.
Well why? And the answer is the very same dang thing.
Medicines may be required in an emergency during a time inwhich I do not have access to cheese or something else to wrap a pill. All my dogs are trained to allow me to place a pill at the back of their tongue, and they swallow. Training includes a treat after each acceptance. I do not have an issue with giving my dogs meds that are treat wrapped, but again … meds can be an EMERGENCY requirement, so I make sure I can get them to take something whatever the circumstance

So folks may have opinions. I’d love to hear, but please be respectful.

Also if you believe there is a better alternative in emergency situations, please share them. Whether folks use these tools or methods, your ideas or successes with other choices and techniques could be beneficial or save a life (crates and muzzles are not always around and handy for example, right?)."
