Welcome to the Puppy Crate Training Network

CRATE TRAINING A PUPPY refers to the process of conditioning a puppy or dog to remain quietly and comfortably in a plastic or metal dog crate. There are significant advantages to applying crate training early in the puppy's life, so that it becomes an inconsequential, totally neutral, and "normal" part of the growing pup's daily life in the home.

When properly introduced and positively trained, the puppy crate becomes a much welcome respite for the puppy from the over-stimulating big wide world and a place to call its own away from people and other animals. Should your dog need to spend the night away from home at the vet clinic or in a boarding facility, understand that in all likelihood your dog will be expected to remain quietly in a clinic cage or kennel crate.

If you don't train your puppy early on to feel comfortable and safe in its crate, you will be setting your dog up for the unneccesary stress and trauma of finding itself away from home and in a strange and unfamiliar enclosure.

Should something happen to you or your home (ie, fire or flood) that requires your dog to be removed from your house and boarded elsewhere, having its own familiar "den" that goes with your dog to the new destination is eminently comforting in the midst of possible stress and upset. Also consider the possibility that your dog may become injured or have surgery that demands "bed rest" and restricted physical activity. If yours is a high energy, high drive dog, you'll thank your lucky stars that you introduced crate training early on so that your dog is at ease, resting quietly and quickly recuperating, in the safety of its crate.

You'll find helpful links to dog crate training tips about how to crate train puppies in the informative dog training articles in our Puppy Crate Training Network library to assist you in applying crate training to housetrain your puppy and keep your dog safely in its portable crate.
