If you know me, you know how I feel about crates. There is no knowing me without knowing this ๐
I will always try to encourage my puppy class clients to utilise crate training when raising their dogs.
THERE ARE NO CONS TO CRATE TRAINING.
every single puppy I've had since this girl here , Echo, my first working dog, has been crate trained and I will never not do it. She's just been spayed (at five years) and her recovery period has been a breeze. The day after the op when I had to leave the house, I crated her to avoid jumping on and off the couch. And because she knows and enjoys the crate, there was no drama. She's calm, she's relaxed. I can leave my dog at the vet after a procedure without a phone call five minutes after to say, fetch your dog she's going mental in the crate.
Benefits of crate training:
+ Easier to house train a dog/puppy
+ No belongings/valuables/dangerous items chewed in your absence KEEPS YOUR DOG AND BRAND NEW SHOES SAFE
+ Assists in preventing separation anxiety
+ Assists in managing dogs post injury/operation
+ Assists in teaching dogs to settle /encourages calm behaviours
+ Assists in managing aggressive/reactive dogs when guests come over
+ Assists in managing a multi dog household
+ Creates a safe space for dog to retreat to when overwhelmed (preventing bites because the dog had no where to go where they weren't bothered by kids/visitors).
+ Assists in preventing bad behaviours in a vehicle (my dogs are crated when I drive).
+ Crash tested crates can SAVE YOUR DOGS LIFE IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT
Say less ?
Crate train and save yourself lots of time, money and tears when it comes to managing dogs/ avoiding unwanted behaviours.
