Getting a puppy checklist full#
Always remove the puppy's collar when in the crate in case it gets caught up on it.Ī full range of crates including Crufts-branded crates can be ordered from Croft Online. Never use the crate as a sin-bin or you will teach your puppy to resent it.
Make sure your puppy has recently emptied their bladder and bowels before they settle in their crate and do not leave your puppy in the crate for more than a couple of hours during the daytime. You can gradually increase the time the puppy stays in the crate, and initially this should be while you are still in the room with them. Gently place your puppy in there whenever they fall asleep. Put some bedding inside and tie some toys in the far end of the crate so the puppy has to go in there to play with them. Make sure that the mesh is not too big, as puppies may get their mouths caught.
When ordering a crate for your puppy, buy one big enough so that it can stretch out and stand up in when they are fully grown. Some dogs love having their own 'four-poster beds'. Many dog owners find these useful for containing their puppy and keeping them safe and out of trouble when they are alone, rather like putting a baby in a cot or play pen.
