Kennel Training Puppies

Are you a new puppy paw-rent and need help figuring out where to start with kennel training? Kennel training is an important part of puppy care. Not only does it keep your puppy safe, but it also helps your puppy develop good habits early on.  

 

Kennel training isn’t something that should be rushed, but if you follow the tips below, you’ll find yourself with a well-behaved dog in no time! 

 

Making Your Puppy’s Kennel a Happy and Safe Space 

 

The more you can make your puppy’s kennel feel like home, the easier it will be for them to accept it as their personal space. Place a blanket or bed in the kennel and their favorite toy or chew bone.  

 

Make sure you don’t make the kennel too small (you don’t want your dog feeling cramped); otherwise, your puppy won’t want to go inside.  

 

Using a Kennel to Help Train Your Puppy to Sleep Through the Night 

 

The crate or kennel is one of the most important tools you can use to help your puppy sleep through the night. It’s also a great way to keep them safe while you’re not home and make it easier on yourself when housebreaking. 

 

Placing their kennel close to your bed is a great place to start. You want to keep the kennel near you or someone who can be responsible for the puppy so they don’t feel alone, and if they do need to go potty during the night, you can easily access them for a bathroom break. 

 

 

Training Your Puppy to Go to Their Kennel on Command 

 

It’s important to train your puppy to stay or go in the kennel on command. It’s also a good idea to use a command like “kennel” or “go to bed.” You can use treats or toys as rewards for staying in the kennel, but don’t give food or toys every time; otherwise, your dog will expect them every time he goes into his crate. 

 

Why Kennel Training is so Important for Your Puppy 

 

The best way to ensure that your puppy will be safe and healthy is by kennel training them. Using a kennel for training will ensure that when your puppy is left unattended, they aren’t making a mess in your house by chewing shoes or furniture and making the occasional potty accident cleanup easier.  

 

It also makes it easier for puppies who tend to get anxious at night time due to separation anxiety issues or just being nervous about sleeping in their own bed without someone else around for comfort (like us humans). A crate will help keep them calm while providing much-needed peace of mind for both owner and canine companion alike! 

 

If you’re looking for a way to keep your puppy safe and healthy, kennel training is a great option. It’s easy and effective, plus it gives you peace of mind when you’re not home.
