Crate Training to Give Your Dog Potty Control
Crate training to give your dog potty control has a lot of benefits beyond potty
control. But in order to receive all of these benefits you will need to make
sure you make it a happy experience for your dog. Crate training will give your
dog confidence in the home and on the road when uncertain situations strike.
When hunters are out shooting or cars are honking horns or visitors are in your
home your dog will know to go back to the crate of his or her crate training for
safety and security. For additional security, giving your dog good sight lines
from the crate will help it feel more of a secure feeling and less of a trapped
feeling. Also, for the best crate training, your dog should never be confined
for long periods to the crate without being let out for exercise and to potty.
The Benefits Beyond Potty Control at Home
Whenever you have to take your dog out to some unfamiliar place, your dog will
look back on its crate training and remember the security of this space. Places
like kennels and veterinary holding areas will represent security to your dog
rather than the usual high levels of anxiety, and in some places pure fear, that
dogs face in these situations. This is also true of when you are traveling with
your dog. Your dog will recognize the security of the crate wherever you go and
settle down inside it for a relaxing nap whenever an unsure situation comes
along. This will make your dog a lot more cooperative when you need to let it
out for a potty break when traveling as well. And, if you must leave your dog
off with a dog sitter, simply leaving your crate with the dog sitter to will
help your dog make the adjustment easily. |
