With proper crate training, your pooch will think of his crate as a haven where he can retreat to whenever he wants to take a respite from the daily grind. Placing a dog inside a crate will also give you peace of mind because you are sure your pet is safe while you are busy and unable to supervise him.

The size of the crate is mainly dependent on your dog’s size. It should be large enough to allow him to stand up, turn around, and lie down easily. Even if you have the budget for a bigger pen, always remember that the crate is not an exercise pen. It is a place where you pooch can rest and play with appropriate toys.

The size of the crate is very important in the success of housetraining. While a spacious crate will give your pet some space where he can eliminate, and a part for his living quarters, this will not serve the purpose. When buying a crate, always keep your pet’s adult size in mind.  You may need to cordon off a part of the crate so your pet will only have access to the space that he requires.

Keep your dog healthy and active by bringing him regularly to a Merrillville veterinary clinic. Visit this website for more pet care info.
