How to Train Your Dog to Use a Dog Crate

Although a human sees a dog crate and immediately thinks "scary, confining cage", canines have a different take on it. Where a human would feel penned in, a pup feels safe, as long as the crate is utilized appropriately and correctly. Not only is it their very own den-like object, it is also useful for the household members. For instance:

1. You can use the crate while traveling to ensure the safety of both you and your pup It is much safer for your and your dog if he has no chance to get hurt interrupt the way you are driving. Especially with a puppy or small dog, a crate is much safer. While you can belt in a larger dog, any loose pet has the potential to become a flying object in an emergency. Further, a dog in their crate isn't nosing up to the driver, poking their head completely out of the window, or investigating the car floor for interesting things.
2. Dogs can be more serene if they know that they can retreat to their "den" Having his own space helps the dog be more outgoing. If he knows he can retreat when he gets overwhelmed or frightened, your puppy may be willing to risk interaction. Having a safe place to withdraw also helps a dog that tends to be nervous. A dog that can´t retreat to a place of their own may well retreat somewhere in your house that you would rather they did not. A dog will often establish a den spot in your home. Wouldn't you rather choose a safe place for your dog to retreat to than a place that is unsafe?
3. Mobile safe zone When your dog is secure emotionally and physically in his crate, it is much easier taking your dog on family outings. This means that you do not have to leave your dog all alone less often and can enjoy his company more.

Crate training your dog does not mean constantly keeping your dog in a crate. A continuously crated dog can get neurotic and depressed. Rather, you should reserve the crate for times when your dog needs to be safely confined or to pull back from the big new world.
