Kennels & Crates For Dogs
Crates and kennels are often used until a dog is old enough to hold their bladder throughout the day. (I’ve used crates with all of my puppies for at least 1 year.) See how a crate helps with housetraining and prevents potty accidents in your house, why it’s important to start with a crate right away, and how to choose the right crate for your dog. Dog crates are also used to give dogs a safe and comfortable space of their very own in the house. Not only is this helpful when leaving your dog home alone, a crate is also useful for times when your dog is scared or nervous (like when fireworks are going off outside, or visitors are in the house, or you’re introducing another pet to the household). Sometimes dogs that are left home alone in crates or kennels will exhibit signs of separation anxiety at first. See how to calm your dog once and for all! Don’t miss the mistakes we’ve made while crate training our dogs that will help you crate train your dog much easier! Plus ways to make your own dog house, kennel, or crate.
