Rescue Dog

Often it will take a dog a while to feel at home in a new place. You can help make the transition easier for a new dog by using a dog crate. Crates are a great way to give your dog time to get used to its new surroundings. They also make house training your dog much easier. To have the best experience with a dog crate you need to buy the right kind. Since they come in many sizes you will need to find one that fits your dog. 
 
The crate should be large enough to accommodate growth for a puppy. You do not want a crate that is too large or your dog may sleep in one part of the crate and use the other part as a bathroom. Once you find the right crate you will need to make it more comfortable. One thing it is important to add is a soft dog crate bed. This helps to turn the crate into a special and safe place where your dog can grab a nap or spend the night.

Keep an eye on your older dog and coax him out of his crate every few hours or so to walk around and stretch his legs. A welcome addition to your dog crate will be some squeeze toys. Only put a few toys in at a time and rotate them to help prevent boredom. Food and water dishes can be conveniently left near your dog’s crate. Once the dog is fully house trained you can take off the door and let your dog have the freedom to go in out as he chooses.
