Crate training is excellent for most dogs, and choosing the right crate size for your puppy is vital. When the crate is too small, it will be outgrown too quickly. On the other hand, when crates are too large they are not effective.
The first thing to understand is that your dogs crate is his den. When crate training is done properly, the crate becomes a place of comfort and safety. Many crate trained dogs will go to their crate on their own just to lie down in peace.
Next you should understand some basic dog behavior. The most important thing to remember is that a dog will not urinate or defecate in his den. A simpler way to remember this is that your dog will not mess where he is going to have to sleep.
