Crate training is a process of forming a positive association with the crate to ensure that your pet sees it as a safe and comfortable space to rest in.
Although many pet parents initially reject the idea of using crate for their pets, thinking that it is cruel to lock them up in it. But, if introduced and used correctly, a crate can have many advantages for both you and your pet.
A crate helps to satisfy the dog's natural instinct to be in a den for the following reasons:
- whenever they need timeout
- when they feel scared
- when they are unwell
- when they are tired or nervous
If to be given a relatable example then consider crate as providing a private and safe place to your pet, much like a personal bedroom to a child.
