Puppy Crate Training - What's Involved

By Craig Vic

When pen guiding a dog the age doesnt really matter until they become old enough for it. It is usually good to train a dog in the early stages but it can not bar one from the training. Despite the age, pet training is compulsory for every dog, but all this said, not each dog will make it to be petted.

It might not be a right age to handle an older dog in confined space; if taken the same condition in your situation you would need to gate the baby in the kitchen corner.

Crating an elderly dog is delicate and must be handled with utmost care. Older dogs do not have the flexibility and the level of control that they used to in young age. First and foremost, the dog has to be made comfortable in open cages with motivators like toys and food.

With constant supervision, the dog is to be made used to the confined space for longer hours. Once we are satisfied with his level of comfort we can close the door, still staying inside, just to make him feel comfortable.

Keep escorting the dog outside the potty area, so that they dont get confused or frightened by the accident happened. Make sure that you clean it up and move on with the training process.

Keep in mind that they are old enough, and they too need love, understanding and much patience at this time. If in case they do not get acquainted to pet training and they are usually having accidents give them once-over which might come in handy. Due to their age they may be incurring various medical issues which may be affecting their bladder and or bowels.

Patience and understanding plays a key role while crate training a dog, puppy or an adult dog. No matter about the age as and when the dog becomes older it get on harder.

Make sure to show your dog love and that they make you happy whatever the case.
