Dog Crates & Cages
Dog crates and dog cages are the same thing so don’t be confused by the terminology. As an introduction, here are the two most common questions we get asked about dog crates:
Is it cruel to lock my dog in a crate?
Some people assume this is the case, as they would certainly not want to be stuck in a dog crate themselves for any length of time. Well, for dogs it is different as they are 'den' animals… and what do den animals like, yes, you guessed it. Just look at where they love spending time sleeping – under the table or in a quite corner of a room. In the wild, wolves and wild dogs are known to burrow holes to sleep in. This is why dogs and puppies come to love their dog crates, so much so, their owners find they have to take it with them whenever they are away from home.
Why use a dog crate anyway?
A crate helps address many of the problems that cause stress and anxiety to dog and puppy owners. They are useful to prevent and rectify problems associated with destructive behaviour and fear of strangers or other types of people. They help with house training, with visitors who are afraid of dogs and of course when travelling with your dog.
