Keeping your dog in a crate is unacceptable after the age of 1, as many feel trapped. Get him/her a really spacious cage if they do not have good behavior. You can get a good cage on sale at Walmart.

Should you cover a crate when dog is in it?

Usually, it is not necessary to cover the crate. It depends on the situation. If the dog is not expected to sleep, leave the cover off so that he can see whats going on around the crate, like if it is a puppy being crate trained. If the dog is expected to sleep, but his surroundings are distracting, a cover may be useful to block out disturbances. If the rest of the household is calm (for example, at night), a cover is not usually necessary, but if the dog is being noisy and refuses to be quiet, a cover may be useful to calm him/her down. However, it would be best to use this as only a temporary solution. Ideally, the dog should be taught that noisiness in the crate is not an acceptable behaviour.


What is meant by a crate for the puppy?

A crate is a small container that you put your dog it. Putting puppies in crates allows you to keep them safe while you are out of the house.

Buy a crate that is just large enough to fit your dog into, to prevent them going to the bathroom in the crate.

At home with cratetrained 5 mos dog - over last week when out dog destroys inside of crate including sending bottom tray out of crate - today tore up carpet under crate HELP?

They sell plastic crates that are entirely enclosed in solid plastic except for some windows at the top. These crates would prevent your dog from being able to get to the carpet under the crate. If you do not want to go out and buy a new crate, put some chew toys, such as raw-hides, and other toys in the crate to keep your dog entertained. Your dog is destroying things because he is probably bored.


How can I convince my dad to let my dog sleep in the house I told him I would buy a dog crate but he won't listen to me?

Suggest a trial night. Ask if you can bring the dog in the house when you go to bed one night and let it sleep in your room and see how it goes. Your dad is probably most worried about your house being detroyed by your dog while yall are asleep (ex: pooping, peeing, chewing) He probably doesnt like the crate idea because he's afraid the dog will cry at night from being locked up. So ask him if one night you can bring the dog into your room right before you go to bed and see how the dog reacts. Tell him that if the dog chews anything or goes to the bathroom then you will let the dog sleep outside for now on. If your dad agrees you must make sure you keep your dog from being detructive.
