Should I get a puppy crate, play pen and child gates for my dog?
Back
Some dogs like having their own space and the reassurance of being surrounded by 4 walls when they sleep and many owners find that this can reduce the risk of destructive behaviour and chewing at night or when the dog is unsupervised. Any crate should be big enough for your dog to stretch out and to stand up (bear in mind that puppies will need a crate big enough for when they are fully grown). Never use the crate as a punishment as it needs to be an area where your dog feels comfortable and relaxed. Always ensure that your dog has been to the toilet before you put them in the crate and that they have the opportunity to safely go to the toilet outside as soon as they get up. You may also want to invest in some Puppy Toilet Training Pads if you don't want your floors to get messy.
