Many dog owners nowadays struggle with the problem of house breaking and training. Although humane and gentle methods have worked to solve this problem, there are some owners that use drastic methods out of frustration and desire to have their pet house trained quickly.
If you are trying to teach a dog a certain behavior, you much know your pet and use methods that are appropriate for them. You could train your dog by constantly supervising it or by using a housebreaking aid like paper or a cage. You may also choose to combine the two house breaking methods.
Effective as it is, there are quite a few issues buzzing around cage training. There are people who believe that this form of training is inhumane. They feel that no matter what training you are trying to accomplish you should not use a cage on a dog. Contrary to this thought patter, cage training has been shown to be one of the most efficient and effected methods for training both dogs and puppies.
Why is this? Well first of all, because your dog is a den dwelling creature by nature. They would love to retreat into their dens to seek warmth during cold weather or feel cool during sunny days. They consider their den as their home in which they are safe from harm. With this in mind, help your dogs cage look like and feel like his home, not a cage.
Secondly since dogs are animals which like to keep clean in their homes, they will try to keep their cages as unsoiled as possible. With this in mind, you can place your dog inside his cage and he/she will learn to control his bladder and bowel until he/she is permitted to go to his/her designated voiding area. Since puppies are still young, they should be taken out regularly and more often than an older dog since they only have a limited control over their bladder and bowel movements. Doing so will aid your pup in developing a regular potty schedule.
Cages come in various styles and materials. You can buy one from your local pet supply store, hardware or pet section in some department stores. When you purchase a cage for your pet, consider their needs and consider why you are buying the cage. If you travel, consider purchasing a cage made of plastic for your dog, as wire cages will not protect them from extremes of temperature. Another thing that you want to take into consideration is the size of the cage. Buying a new create when he has outgrown the old one costs a lot of money. So that is why it would wise to purchase a large crate, that way you can block the excess section so that your dog doesn’t soil it, that way you can place your dog in the other half during the night for him to stay in.
Be consistent and persistent when housetraining your dog using a cage. Doing this will allow you to put the house breaking problems in the past.
