Using a Crate for Dogs with Separation Anxiety

THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

I highly recommend that all dog owners crate their dogs.   Some people believe that crating your dog is cruel.This is completely untrue.Instinctually, dogs feel safe in their den. It is a greate way to give them a place to sleep and relax.   By nature, a dog in its den will be calm and settled.I highly recommend to crate your dog.  It will help with dog separation anxiety

There are a couple of added benefits to crating your dog separation anxiety.  The first thing that crating your dog gives you is peace of mind while you are gone.Dogs are comfortable is crates that are big enough for them to stand and lay sideways in.You dogs collar should be removed before you put them in their crate.Collars can get stuck in Vari-Kennel and wire crates.Unfortunately, dog have been killed from this.

If your pet has chewed your furnishings or caused household damage, this is the quickest and most simple way to ensure that this no longer happens is to crate you dog while you are away.Bitter Apple from the pet shop can be used to cover the spots in the crate your dog chews.If your dog has escaped from it’s crate, get one that is sturdier and harder to break.   Some people need to buy aluminum crates to hold their dogs.

Another positive thing about putting your dog in a crate is it is less likely to go to the bathroom at home. Your dog will try its hardest not to soil its den.If your dog has accidents in the house and has severe separation anxiety, keeping your dog in their crate can reduce accidents and minimize the damage to your home.

Most dogs accept thier crate! I recommend having a crate available for you dog all of the time. You can always remove the door once your puppy has grown up and can be trusted. Of course, if your dog has separation anxiety, you’ll want to keep that door on!

Dog separation anxiety can be become a major, expensive problem when left untreated.  Be sure to spend the time to get the issues solved now!
