Crate training your dog is a process. Dogs have a natural den instinct; it can make its place under a bed, a cupboard or table. Or you can design the perfect kennel for your dog. Work with Kennel and Crate to build the perfect size kennel, with the design features that make it a focal point of your decor. It’s easy to make your baby comfortable with the crate provide a cozy, safe, relaxing spot just for your dog. A kennel is a space all for your dog. It takes patience to crate train your dog, but it will be worth it.
Prepare Your Dog To Stay Alone
If you stay at home most of the time, perhaps your pet is not used to being without you. If you suddenly left them inside a crate, they may not like it. Instead, take some time to make your dog comfortable and safe in their kennel. Start by enticing your dog into the kennel with treats and praise. Pick a phrase to indicate you want the do to go in their kennel, and be consistent with using the same phrase. It can be something as simple as “Kennel up!” or as sweet as “Go Nighty Night.” Start practicing to keep them inside the crate for a longer period, while you stay in the room. Then gradually work on moving out of the room while your dog is in the kennel. A gradual approach will prevent separation anxiety. Before you know it, your dog will be able to enjoy long naps in their cozy spot.
Keep Your Pet Healthy
Keep them healthy and with a good diet, vaccinations, proper grooming and regular vet care.
Buy the right kennel
The first consideration in choosing a kennel is the proper size. You need the Goldilocks of kennels. Too small of a kennel means that your dog can’t comfortably stand, turn around, and lay down. Too big of a kennel can create a feeling of anxiety in your dog. Dogs are den animals, so a cozy spot is important.
Once you have the right size in mind, you can think of other design options such as storage (drawers, shelves, cubbies) for toys, treats, leashes and harnesses, door styles, chew guards and finish options. Kennel and Crate builds kennels to order. We build primarily out of Alder and steel and can finish your kennel in any style and color of paint and stain.
