Crate training can be frustrating but there are many pros of crating your dog and it can be an essential part of dog care.

A crate ensures that your dog has a safe place away from others. Which gives them a calming place to relax when they’re stressed out. In the event that you travel you can also bring your dogs crate with so they have familiar objects and scents. This can help provide proper dog care in a stressful situation by providing them with their own safe space. In the event that you have people over that you don’t want interacting with your dog for example small children being able to put your dog in a crate is very handy.

When you put your dog in a crate it also helps to ensure that they are safe when you are away. A crate keeps your dog in a confined area so that they are not able to get into any dangerous items. It also keeps your dog from ripping apart the furniture walls or carpeting or doing other damage to your house while you’re away. While the dog damaging your house while you’re away is not a good thing it can also be dangerous for the dog if they end up eating something that they shouldn’t have. For example a pointy piece of wood could result in an emergency vet visit that could be costly and dangerous to your dog. This is especially important if you rent because it ensures that you won’t have to pay large fees to have your apartment recarpeted or repaid because your dog damaged items while you were away.
