Crate Training

While crate training dogs takes both patience and time, it can provide many benefits for both puppies and adult dogs. Crate training can keep an unsupervised dog to a den-like area, thus preventing them from going to the bathroom, chewing, or other undesirable behaviors in the home. Furthermore, training a dog to be comfortable in a crate can make traveling with your dog much easier and less traumatic. When a puppy or dog is properly crate-trained, they come to see the crate as a safe and comfortable environment, much like a den.
