Crate dog Training - Benefits of Crate Training Patrick Solomon
There are many different ways to train a dog, from teaching it to listen to clicker commands to teaching the basic commands, like sit, stay and come. But within the last ten years, another training method has caught on: crate training. With crate training, you convince your dog to voluntarily enter a crate, and to have the crate closed, for a certain amount of time. But why crate train? Crate training has a number of different benefits. The first of which is peace of mind. The first time you have to leave your new puppy or dog by themselves in your home is a bit like the first time you take a child to daycare. The entire time you are worrying that something will happen. Will dog the dog eat something he shouldn’t? Will he mess on the carpet? Will he chew my new running shoes? This can cause a lack of focus at your work and may get you so riddled with anxiety that you project it on the dog the minute you walk into the house. If your dog is crate trained, you know that nothing will happen when you are not at home. The dog will not be able to eat anything he should not, nor will he be able to make a mess all over the carpet, because he will not leave the security of his crate. That’s right, to dogs the crate comes to mean security. Think of wild dogs, such as wolves. Most of them tend to burrow into a small cave or opening. Crate training is creating a similar situation. Some people even believe that dogs like the crate because it has been bred into some deep part of their past. Crate training is also a great way to housebreak your pet. It is a fact that dogs will do everything within their power to not mess in their space. If you give your dog a small enough space, he will do everything he can to not make any messes. This means that when you take him out the minute you get home, he will be able to go and you will be able to reward him. This is a huge way to train the dog that much quicker. Remember to stay consistent with crate training, and soon your dog will come to think of the crate as their indoor, comfortable, dog house.
