Crate training is an essential skill for dogs. If you have a new puppy that’s not yet housebroken, keeping them in a crate at night, or for brief periods during the day when you’re away from home, will help prevent accidents around the house.
When you crate your dog properly, it is never a punishment. Your goal is to help your pet understand that the crate is a pleasant, cozy hangout and not doggie jail.
