Make Your Dog Love its Cage
One important thing to remember about dog crate or cage - do not use it as a punishment to your pet dog if it misbehaves. You would not want your dog to hate going to it, wouldn’t you?
Make it accept the cage as its own sweet home. If your dog understands this, then it will go inside the cage on its own.
It is easy for your dog to feel comfortable staying inside the crate. Clean the dog cage regularly. Every part and corner of the cage must be washed and sanitized to make sure it is free from germs, bacteria and fungi that could otherwise cause your pet dog to catch any illness.
Not only do humans love their homes looking and smell clean and fresh. Of course, dogs do too. When washing however, make sure that you thoroughly dry the cage before letting the dog come in.
A well-maintained dog cage can actually help minimize your dog staying outdoors or running around your house and enjoying its playtime (read: practically wrecking havoc on your furniture).
Soon enough, your pet dog will come to love staying his dog crate, enjoying its warmth and convenience. And for your own satisfaction, you might want to consider this as a personal success in pet training.
