Why do Dogs Love Crates?

0

You may feel guilty about locking your dog up, but dogs don’t think like us. If you use the crate correctly, your dog will actually enjoy the time he will spend inside his crate. Surprised? Just like wolves, dogs are den animals. Tight, enclosed spaces provide them with comfort and security. This is why you will often find your dog under a table, a chair, or anything that can surround him. A dog crate can serve as your dog’s bedroom, a refuge or a place for training. With so many applications, crate is the most valuable training tool at your disposal. And since dogs don’t mind spending reasonable amount of time in a crate, crate training your dog will not be as difficult as you may think. But what does this have to do with housebreaking a dog? Glad you asked! Like all den animals, dogs don’t like to eliminate in close proximity to where they sleep. Crate training your dog will teach him to have bladder and bowel control.
