Has your dog ever hidden under the couch, slept under the bed, or snuggled up under a nice big blanket? Dogs are den animals, and search out den like environments. This is a natural and instinctual reaction for our dogs and they find it safe and comforting.Because of this, we can easily housebreak a puppy, address behavioral problems, such as separation anxiety, and provide a proper foundation for new dogs and puppies. Dogs and puppies left out while home alone, most likely will get bored, and get them selves into trouble. I usually get complaints about chewing, knocking down and eating the garbage, counter surfing, barking, going potty in the house, as well as other destructive behaviors. Simple solution, crate train! Crates are a positive tool, and the perfect tool to help establish a structured schedule for housebreaking and reducing bad behaviors. They can establish positive behaviors and create good habits, while breaking the bad. Lets set your dog up for success; don’t give them the opportunity to fail.
