How to Find the Right Dog Cage for Crate Training?
Crate training your dog is a great way to establish discipline and boundaries, while also providing a calm sanctuary of individual space for the dog. Dogs are animals that need a protected place to sleep and retreat to, especially in a large house full of people. Crate training allows such a place to be established for the dog, while also reinforcing obedient behavior. A crate should never be used for punishment, but instead should be a place the dog appreciates and looks forward to for sleep or a quiet retreat. Finding the right dog cage to be used as a crate is one of the keys for success in crate training your dog. *First, determine the size of the dog cage that is appropriate for your dogs needs. The cage should be big enough for the dog to stand up and turn around in, while not being too large relative to the dog’s height and weight. You should not purchase a cage built for a dog the size of a Great Dane, when your dog is a Pomeranian. If the cage is too large, the dog will not feel as safe inside of it, and may choose to use one side of the cage as a bathroom area. *After the size of the cage is selected, you should decide what type of enclosure you and your dog would prefer. Generally, for crate training it is better to have a cage that is completely enclosed like a big dog carrier, as a cage that completely surrounds the dog best mimics the den style sleeping area that they prefer. *Dog cages that are suitable for crate training can be purchased at any local area pet store that carries a large supply of products. New dog cages can also be purchased online through many different sources and websites, often at a better price than what is found at a neighborhood pet store. Additionally, stores may not always the most varied selection of dog cages, so shopping online will offer more choice and price comparisons. *Once you have the cage inside your home and are ready to begin the crate training, you might want to put an old blanket or towels inside the cage to make your dog more comfortable.
Are dogs kept in cages?
No, dogs should never be 'kept' in cages. They should be able to walk freely. That should not be confused with a dog 'crate', which is in the form of a cage, but not for the same function as a rodent cage for example where the animal lives inside it. A dog crate replicates a dog's 'den' and gives it a secure, familiar place to go inside if needed. There are ways of training the dog using the crate, and it can be used to transport the dog on a short trip. However the dog is not 'kept' in the crate, long term.
