6 Ways to Help Your Dog Love their Kennel

You love your puppy, and want to keep him safe and well behaved, so it is an easy decision to crate train your dog. If you decide to crate train, it’s important to create a consistent crate habit with your dog.
Consider your kennel your dog’s safe spot and cozy den. With a custom kennel from Kennel and Crate, you can customize the size and features to create the perfect spot for your dog in a functional and stylish piece of furniture that adds to your home’s design and function.
You shouldn’t rush crate training. It needs to adopt the habit slowly and it will take some time. Be patient. Start by keeping the door open. Then move on to closing the door for 10 minutes while you are still in the room. When the dog seems comfortable, increase the time to 30 minutes with you moving in and out of the room. Once the dog is comfortable in the crate for more than 30 minutes without you, your dog can tolerate longer periods in the kennel.
When confinement isn’t needed, just leave the door open. Kennel and Crate’s doors are designed to stay out of the way when they are in the open position.
A stylish custom kennel from Kennel and Crate allows for your dog’s cozy spot to be front and center, instead of a wire crate stuck in the corner.
Which goes better with your decor?
You know what your dog likes, so choose a comfy bed for your custom kennel.
Kennel size is important, which is another reason why a custom kennel from Kennel and Crate is a great choice. Each kennel is built to order, so you can specify the perfect size.
For making a crate habit, you can use treats and toys for your dog. Hide a treat inside the kennel and let them find it or give them a favorite chewy in the kennel.
