If you still live with the puppy or adult dog that is not fully house-trained than you might find this article very useful. Specifically, we will look into why is the dog crate size one of the most important aspects of puppy crate training that could either skyrocket your puppy housebreaking efforts overnight or turn it to most embarrassing failure.
Why right crate size will turbo-charge your your puppy housebreaking efforts and why the wrong crate size will crash any chance to succeed?
Thanks to the research in this field it was discovered that dogs have some inborn instincts that we could take advantage of and house-train our puppy very quickly. The most important instinct for successful puppy housebreaking without any doubt is the instinct to seek their own safe place and to take care of it. When we say "to take care of it" it is meant that dogs keep their den clean. They will do all they can to avoid soiling their den. This sounds great, right? All we need to do now is to go and get that nice and large create that we have seen last time we visited local pet store and we will have fully house-trained puppy in no time! How exciting!
Well, not so fast! Having overly large crate is the singe most important reason responsible for so many dog crate training failures. We should buy the crate that is just large enough so that our dog can stand and turn around. If our crate is too large than our dog could use one part of it for sleeping and eating and the other for toilet needs.
