Michele’s Thursday Training Tip – Crate Training


Author: Kristin Skelton

Make The Crate A Happy Place

Crate Training

Keep the crate a positive place by incorporating toys, treats, and plenty of time outside of it and you’ll see that crate training your dog will be helpful for more than one reason:

  1. It can be used as a place your dog feels comfortable being in during a busy house event.
  2. An aid in house breaking a new dog or puppy.
  3. A safe place for them to be during travel.
  4. A place that will prohibit your dog from being destructive in your home while you’re away. 

We hope these weekly training tips assist you in your training adventure. Floofins & Company head trainer, Michele Hatley, is available to create a customized training program for your dog.
