Crate training is a fantastic method of managing the safety and well-being of young puppies. When used properly the crate is an invaluable tool for establishing good habits in your puppy and also for preventing problem behaviors before they arise.

In spite of what some people may think, the truth is that we crate our puppies for their benefit – that’s we do it.  Secondary to that is the fact that using a crate also benefits us.

Over time the crate will become your puppy’s own private area which they will grow to love and feel secure in.

As soon as you bring home your puppy begin the introduction process. The longer you wait the harder it will be for your puppy to understand the process.

One of the first and most important uses for the crate is for housebreaking.  Crate training is the best way to quickly teach your puppy to go outside to eliminate.

I will go into this further in my future blogs.
