DOG CRATES AND TRAINING
Dog Crate training can play a big role in the growth and development of your dog. Being instinctive "den-dwellers," dogs in the wild would congregate around a familiar place, or safe haven from the world around them. Upon domestication, dogs were often stripped of these natural dens, preventing them from developing a routine and occassionally causing them to act out and misbehave. Therefore, dog crates become a subsitute for the natural dens by giving your dog a special place of his own.
Dog Crate training can be used in several important situations, including the housebreaking of your puppy, the control and handling of your adult dog, and the teaching of correct behavior characteristics to your pet. Please check out our great selection of dog crates above.
It is important to select the proper crate for your dog. The ideal crate should allow your dog to stand up, turn around and lie down in the crate comfortably. The crate should be large enough in size to allow for your dog to grow. You can resize the crate with divider panels as he grows or put a cardboard box inside to reduce the amount of space.
Dog training crates come in metal or plastic. We prefer the metal to home training which is more durable and offers more air flow. The plastic crate is more suited for traveling due their light weight and ideal for air-travel.
Crate Accessories
Once you've chosen the right dog crate for your pet, you can make it more inviting with a few simple accessories. Buy bedding that’s durable and washable. Crate covers can create a more den like atmoshpher plus it blocks outside distractions. Toys and treats for your dog, it will him to something to do especially if your away for etendended periods of time.

14 Tips for Crate Training Your New Puppy by Peggie Arvidson-Dailey
Your new puppy is arriving and you have heard of crate-training, but are not sure how to make it work for you and your newest addition. From years of experience as a pet-owner, lover and specialist, I have learned some things about crate training that I'd like to share with you.
Crate training is a wonderful part of an overall family training program if handled correctly. Your puppy will feel secure in his space if you make it a pleasurable experience from the very beginning by following these 14 tips.
1. Get a crate large enough to allow your pup space to turn around, stand up and lie down for a nap.
2. Put a soft blanket in the crate, preferably with his mother's scent on it when you bring him home.
3. Make sure to put his toys for chewing and a treat or two in the space furthest from the 'door'.
4. Put the crate in a corner of the room where he can feel out of the way, yet have access to you.
5. Let your pup wander in and out of the crate to get a feel for it, the crate makes a nice 'den' for your puppy and he will likely take to it for comfort and solace when he is tired, over-excited or worried.
6. Remove your pet's collar/s before closing the crate to avoid any choking.
7. Have a bottle of water with ice hooked to the crate if you will leave your puppy for more than an hour.
8. When it's time to be crated, tell your puppy "Crate" or "Bed" and show him to the crate. You may put a treat in there if you have been training him with treats.
9. Don't ever scare him into the crate, put him in there as a punishment or otherwise encourage a negative connotation to the crate.
10. Practice this several times a day during his first few weeks home. Leaving him in the crate for short intervals while you leave the house. He will soon realize that you come back and let him out.
11. If your dog needs something to chew, make sure you give him a toy that he cannot shred, break or otherwise harm himself with. If he is an aggressive chewer, I recommend the Galileo Bone by Nylabone.
12. When you let your puppy out of the crate, immediately take him outside to relieve himself. For very young puppies, this will likely be every 4 hours. On average a puppy needs a break in as many hours as he is months old - if your puppy is 4 months, please give him a potty break every four hours.
13. When you are leaving, or putting him in the crate, give him his command "Crate", praise him gently when he complies (but do not get effusive - you don't want him to get all riled up) and then leave without a commotion.
14. Upon returning, open the crate and let your puppy come out at his own pace. Don't make a big fuss, simply praise him gently, put on his collar and leash and take him outside.
Crate training is a valuable asset to any training program for new puppies and can help enhance your relationship with your canine pal. A happy and comfortable puppy will mature into a well-mannered and loving companion.
