kennel training
Teaching crate comfort
Kennel training is the process of teaching a dog to accept a crate or kennel as a safe, comfortable space.
The method uses the dog's natural denning instinct—the tendency to seek enclosed spaces for rest and security.
Kennel training aids housebreaking, since dogs avoid soiling their sleeping area, and provides a secure spot during travel or when unsupervised: We started kennel training the puppy at eight weeks.
