Dogs in the wild live in a den which provides protection and a great deal of psychological satisfaction. All dogs, therefore, have a strong natural tendency to seek out this type of shelter. In your home, if your dog has no place to call his own, he will make feeble attempts to curl up under a table, a chair or some other choice location. When you use a crate , you give your puppy a place to feel secure...something to get his back up against. He won't feel isolated because the pet home , provides essential visibility & ventilation. Just like a baby in a playpen. You will also be taking advantage of his natural instinct to keep his home clean, therefore, when he has to “go” he will try to hold it until you can take him outside to the proper area. This will teach him a schedule and help him eliminate accidents. With a crate , your puppy will have fewer behavioral problems like excessive barking and chewing. But most of all, by providing him a safe and secure home, he’ll be happier and more self confident.
