Dog Crate Training - is it Cruel?

Dog training takes on many different forms. For some, it is only a matter of going through basic obedience training and teaching your dog how to do things such as sit, come on command and stay. For others, however, it really goes a lot further than that. A good example of this is if you need to do some dog crate training. There are a number of different reasons why you might want to train your dog to stay in a crate. Here are some of the reasons why you might want to do so and the easiest way for you to get started.

First of all, you need to put the misconception out of your mind that dog crate training is cruel. If you have ever seen a dog that has been properly crate trained, you would realize that they actually consider this to be their own little space. Far from being cruel, it is actually being kind to your dog by giving them someplace that they can escape to whenever necessary. They can also go a long way in helping to keep your dog under control and safe whenever you're not at home.

Dog crate training sometimes takes a little bit of getting used to for your pet. At first, they are probably going to whine and cry and perhaps even bark whenever they are confined within this area. If you have the ability to do so, try to make their first sessions inside of the crate relatively short and build up to longer sessions inside. If it is necessary for your dog to stay in the crate for a long time, the first time they are placed into it, they will not be traumatized or harmed in any way. All it will do is shorten the crate training process.

If your dog is having a particularly hard time with his training, you may try adding a special toy to the area. You should be careful, however, that you don't give him something that could easily be torn apart and become a choking hazard.  If your dog tends to be destructive with toys, you should buy an indestructible toy, such as a kong. A puppy might also do better in the crate at night if there is a ticking clock nearby or perhaps some other sound that will help to keep things from being so quiet. It will take persistence on your part but once your dog gets used to being in the crate, you will be happy that you took the time to train them in this way.
