Need help crate training? Crate training can be a very effective method to integrate a dog into your house. It can help lessen anxiety by having their own “den” and safe place to call their own. It can be an effective tool to help with potty training and house training.
ASPCA is a great resource for crate training and many other types of training. “Used properly, a crate is an effective short-term tool for managing and training your dog. If you train your dog to be content in a crate, you’ll provide a safe, cozy place that she can call her own and sleep in at night. It also gives you a safe way to transport your dog and travel with her to motels, to friends’ homes, when on vacation, etc. Crates are especially helpful when introducing a new dog into your household. You can also use a crate to efficiently house train your dog and prevent her from being destructive.”
