Dog crating?




Margastar


What is "crating" a dog. I've never heard of this before, it sounds awful, especially for the larger dogs. I've never known a single person to "crate" their dogs. What is the purpose of it.
Sounds like a kennel, but they are in the backyard. I assume crates are for those which live in apartments. No way would I leave my dog stuck indoors all day with just a space for them to turn around in.



Answer
Crating a dog is simply training him to stay in his crate. The crate is like a plastic or wire "dog house" that the dog can move around in and see out of. A lot of dogs like to have the crate as a place to retire to when everything gets hectic and he's had enough. They bury their treats there and bring in toys to keep from other dogs.

People usually crate their dog either to sleep at night or if they are not going to be home and do not want the dog having the run of the house. Sometimes it as used as a little room to put the dog when visitors are afraid of the dog.
Some people use a crate to transport the dog to shows in the car. This is for safety.

Sound awful, but some dogs actually like having a space of their own! The crate comes in different sizes and you would get it for the size of your breed as an adult. The dog should be able to stand up and turn around in the crate.

It is a temporary place for the dog and should not take the place of being with the owner.

why does my dog hates his crate so much?

i have a 9 months German shepherd dog, he's free and out of his crate from 9 pm to 6 am then i keep him until 3 then I lock him in at 6 pm and then out again at 9, the problem is every time he's in his crate he wont stop barking until we let him out I don't know why he hates it that much he even pooped in it, it's hard to change it because we built him a small house we can't just buy one,so what can cause this? and is there anything i can do to make him accept his crate ?

thanks in advance



Answer
Dogs are den animals, therefore crates provide the environment appropriately for them. When a dog does Not like his or her crate that is caused from the following; used as punishment or time out area, crated for extended lengths of time, not properly desensitized to the crate, too big or too small, or has learned behaviors of how he or she can convince owners to let them out.

When you put your pup in the crate, make sure he is fed, has eliminated and has things to chew on. Never use the crate as punishment or they associate the crate with a place they go when they displeased their owners, also be sure to never let him out for inappropriate behavior. If he barks or whines and you let him out he is opt to do this again since it has successfully communicated to you what he wants. He needs to understand the.crate is a good place. Instead drop treats in his crate for being quiet. Even if it's a single second, he will try to understand how he received the treat. In short time, if done proper he will whinr less and less to receive treats or to come out of the crate.
