Crate Training Your New Puppy in Your Luxury Apartment in Gainesville, Florida

Potty training is probably the least enjoyable aspect of owning a puppy. There are several different methods you can use to effectively teach your puppy to do its business outside. One of them is crate training.

Crate training involves purchasing a cage or crate that is just large enough to be a bed for your puppy. The rationale behind this is that puppies will not soil their beds because then they will have to sleep in the mess. While in the confines of their crate, most puppies will learn to control their bladder.

When you first get your puppy, putting her into the crate whenever you won’t be around to supervise is a good idea. Remember that the last thing you should do before you put her in the crate is take her outside to her favorite spot. Then, the first thing you should do when you let your puppy out of the crate is take her back outside to that same spot. This will get your puppy in the routine of doing her business outside. As the weeks pass and your faith in the puppy grows, you can leave her out of the crate longer and longer.

Another important aspect in crate training is making sure the cage you get is the proper size. Obviously, you don’t want your puppy stuffed in a crate that’s too small, but you also don’t want to get one that’s too large either. If your crate is too large, this may encourage your puppy to go the bathroom in a corner, and this would defeat the entire purpose of crate training. A good idea is to purchase a cage that has a divider panel. This way, you can adjust the cage to a bigger size as your puppy grows.
