Crate Training Your Dog Or Puppy - Part 4

What To Put In The Crate

Now that you have your crate, you want to make it enticing for your dog or puppy.  Let's face it, he's not going to want to go in and lay on the hard plastic bottom!  You can outfit the crate with all his favorite things and make it comfortable so that he wants to spend time in there.

One important thing is that you need to provide your dog with fresh water at all times and of course that includes when he is in his crate.  However, the crate is a smaller area and if the water gets knocked over it could make the dogs bedding wet and make them uncomfortable.  So, I highly recommend you get metal, food and water bowls that clip onto the side of the crate. Do not get plastic bowls because the puppy will most likely chew them and plastic can cut it's mouth and tongue.

Speaking of his bed, you want to make sure you put a nice comfortable bed inside the crate.  After all, this is probably where your dog will be sleeping so you want to make sure he's is most comfortable!  Plus a comfy dog bed will ensure that your dog wants to spend a lot of time in the crate and feels like it is his home.

You also want to put some toys in the crate so that your dog has something to do if you're not home and he gets bored, otherwise he might try to amuse himself by chewing on the crate! 

Pick out some of his favorite toys and put them in so that he will have them with but be sure not to include toys that could be dangerous especially if you're not going to be around to watch her dog.
