Sure-Fire Tips For Crate Training Your Puppy

By James D Nash

Way to many times, many new puppy owners will often fail to realize how important of having a roomy crate for your puppy really is. It is an valuable tool for your pup when it comes to dog training and has many good uses. Puppies in general are rather tiny and have no clue on what to do with larger areas. Keeping the pup's in a crate is a great way to calm him or her down. Furthermore, since small puppies do not typically like to potty where they rest, it will make a great tool for potty training your little guy.

When your new little puppy gets over excited for any reason, placing him inside of it will help the puppy settle down. If you have to leave the puppy alone for a few hours, the pup can very easily cause a little chaos and have accidents on the floor. All of this leads to over excitement in the puppy as well as stress which can be remedied through the act of placing the puppy in the crate while you are gone.

Remembering that puppies are easily distracted by other events around him, feeding the puppy can be a difficult task as well as a messy one. By placing the puppy in it for feeding time, you will be able to minimize the messes as well as the distractions so that your puppy can focus on eating all of his meal.

1) It is very important that the crate you get for the puppy is the right size. If it is too small, the puppy will feel cramped but then again if it is too large, then house breaking the puppy using it will not work. In a large one, a puppy will use to potty on one side of it and sleep on the other which is the exact opposite of what you want him to do which is not potty anywhere in the house.

2) In the event that you have chosen a puppy that will grow in size rather quickly, you may purchase a larger one but only if it comes with a divider to make it the appropriate size for the puppy. This divider can be moved so it will grow as the puppy grows.

3) Keep in mind that even if you purchase the appropriate sized crate for your puppy, if you choose too thick of a bed, the puppy will still potty in it as the bedding will absorb the urine. A simple newspaper bedding is all that a puppy really needs. Once you have properly house broken the puppy then you can get him or her more comfortable bedding.
