Top Items To Buy Before You Start Your Puppy Crate Training

Now that you have your crate, the other things that I would recommend to get before you start your puppy crate training are some toys, a mat for the bottom of the crate, an odor neutralizer (available at most pet stores) and some puppy treats. So your puppy feels better inside the crate, I would suggest getting some toys to put in there with it. You should never confine your puppy to the crate if it was bad because you want it to delight in being in there.

Be very careful what types of toys you put in the crate because you don’t want your puppy choking on or digesting something that they are not supposed to eat. Most of the commercially available dog toys are acceptable such as the hard rubber toys or pressed bones. Don’t utilize stuffed animals, or plastic toys that squeak! These break apart very easily and are choking hazards to your puppy. One thing that you can do is to buy a kong and put some cream cheese, peanut butter, or puppy food inside. This will help your puppy adjust to the new crate and help to keep them quiet in the beginning stages of puppy crate training.

Obtaining a mat for the floor of the crate is so that you can give your puppy a comfortable place to lye down on, instead of the uncomfortable bottom. Something that your puppies will not chew apart and is basic to clean is what you want.

The odor eraser is used to clean the area of the mess should your pup have an accident. The part of your rug or flooring that was used as a bathroom, can be easily cleaned by this. It will discard the scent from the puppies bowel movement so it will not be baited back to the scene of the crime. Some standard house cleaners include ammonia and therefore are bad for sterilizing the area and might attract your pup again to the scene of the crime.

You can utilize an array of different stuff as rewards for your pups. A lot of treats available in stores will do the job, with natural and organic coming faster to the market I would steer in that direction. It’s just more healthy for your puppies, particularly in it’s largest growth spurt. You want to start your puppy crate training by tossing a few treats in the cage and giving your puppy a command such as “Crate” or “Kennel” as it goes in after the treats. This will draw your pup into the crate and get excited for it’s prize. Your puppies should start to begin to get enthused about going inside their crates beacuse of realizing that crate relates to getting treats.

When you use a training command to help your pup with entering the kennel, your pup will soon distinguish what you want him to do when you say the word. This will become extremely useful in the coming days. When you are all set for your puppy to go into the crate, you can easily say the command and your puppy will go into it by itself and wait for it’s treat.
