Crate Training Beagles Puppies
new puppy owners may not be familiar
with the term crate training crate
training is simply the process of using
a crate to assist in the overall
training process it has obvious benefits
for younger puppies that will be
discussed throughout this article for
example if you have a full-time job and
do not wish to spend the money on doggy
daycare crate training will be appealing
it also has the benefit of reducing the
amount of personal property that is
typically destroyed from chewing
throughout the first few months of
owning a puppy when a puppy owner leaves
their puppy behind the puppy will
usually experience separation anxiety
and boredom the result of boredom with a
puppy is typically destroyed property
like shoes furniture children’s toys and
pillows if confined to a crate during
your absence there is nothing for the
puppy to destroy when they become
anxious lonely or curious one of the
best advantages to create training is
that it can make the potty training
process shorter and easier since a puppy
will be reluctant to relieve himself in
the crate where he eats sleeps and plays
he will wait to be released before
urinating a crate can also be used while
traveling once the dog is completely
trained many puppies actually prefer
their crate as a resting spot or place
to go when feeling overwhelmed or
seeking solitude the size of the crate
is extremely important and is determined
by the size of your puppy this may mean
having to buy additional crates as the
dog ages and gets bigger the reason for
this is that crate training puppies may
be tempted to potty in one area of the
crate and rest in another if the crate
has ample room to do so while training
you want to discourage urinating in the
crate take your dog’s measurements with
you when purchasing the new crate so you
will leave the puppy enough room to be
able to play and move around but not
enough to relieve himself it is also a
good idea to strategically place the
crate in certain areas you want your
puppy to feel comfortable and not
isolated when you are at home consider
placing the crate
a high-traffic area to reduce the
feeling of punishment when in the crate
remember occasionally there will be
accidents more when the puppy is in
training and you will need to place the
crate on top of a washable surface just
in case to prepare for crate training
you’ll need to make the crate inviting
and welcoming for your new dog get some
soft but easy to clean bedding to line
the bottom of the crate crate training
puppies love to chew so try to find a
fabric that can’t easily be chewed to
pieces place a handful of fun toys and
treats inside to make the area even more
enticing once the crate is properly
prepared begin placing a small amount of
puppy food or a treat inside let the
puppy investigate and begin to associate
the crate with things it loves like soft
bedding toys and treats sometimes
actually getting the puppy into the
crate can be the most challenging part
so you may need to take more gradual
steps such as feeding him just outside
it for a while as he grows more
comfortable begin placing the food into
the crate to encourage the dog to enter
show plenty of praise when the puppy
finally enters the crate do not press
the issue by forcing the dog to go in
this will end up being counterproductive
as you want the puppy to love his crate
keep in mind it may take some time if
time permits crate training puppies
should be done in a gradual process
where you create him for short periods
of time while you are still present
eventually try removing yourself from
the room so he can become accustomed to
your absence but at the same time learn
that you will always come back once the
dog is comfortable in the crate you can
leave for longer periods of time
remember though that small puppies also
have small bladders so you’ll need to
come home often to let your puppy out to
relieve himself as your puppy grows into
a full-fledged dog he will be able to
control his needs for longer periods of
time while crate training puppies has
many rewards there are also potential
dangers make certain you remove your
puppies callers before confinement as
they can become stuck in the bars of the
crate you could always use a breakaway
collar instead if you are not
comfortable do not place the crate in
areas that the temperature varies
drastically also make sure to take the
puppy outside to potty before leaving
him in his crate to ensure that the
bladder is empty do not use the crate
for punishment purposes as this could
discourage your puppy from really
enjoying his own space and it will
become a battle to get him to enter
since your puppy will be spending so
much time confined in one space plan
regular walks or exercise to make up for
it the crate is your puppy’s own private
space therefore do not allow children or
other dogs to play in it moving towards
crate training puppies may initially
seem a bit cruel because of the caging
aspect of it however a crate can become
a puppy’s private den and you may be
surprised to find your dog resting or
hanging out in their crate even when
they are not required to do so add to
the fact that it makes your dog easier
to Train gives him a safe area while you
are away and can be used as a traveling
