June 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Have you recently brought your gorgeous little puppy home but are having sleepless nights as he doesn't feel safe and comfortable at night? Do you worry that your puppy is roaming around your house whilst you're in bed and could hurt himself? The answer to these problems is crate training. I've put together the best advice I used for crate training your puppy.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS IN CRATE TRAINING YOUR PUPPY?

Some people get the wrong idea about using a crate for your puppy but that is because they don't understand how to use the crate. They are not for punishing your puppy, they are to give him his own space.

If you can get your puppy crate trained, it will make life so much easier for you when you need to take him to the vets as crates are great for transporting your dog around. If you need to make a long journey with your dog, such as a family holiday, then the crate will prove to be a comfortable carrier for your dog that he is happy to be in and enjoy the journey!

MY TOP TIPS FOR CRATE TRAINING YOUR PUPPY:

#1 - Make the crate nice and cosy for your puppy by ensuring that you have a comfortable base bed/blanket in there. Attach a water bottle to the side of the crate. This works better than having a water bowl inside as there's a good chance your puppy would knock it over and spill water all over the crate!

#2 - Give your puppy something to do! Leave a couple of his favourite toys in there and some tasty chews.

#3 - Get the right crate for the breed of dog you have. Unless you have an endless supply of cash, you won't want to be having to replace the crate when your puppy grows up!

#4 - When your puppy leaves the litter he will be confused by his new environment. Many breeders will give new owners a blanket or toy that has his mothers scent on it. This will be a great comfort to your puppy when he is getting used to his new surroundings.

#5 - You must never use the crate as a punishment. If you do it will confuse your puppy.
