Wondering whether or not you need to invest in a dog cage for your pet dog, even though you have a kennel? Well, believe it or not, dog cages are actually mighty good things to have on hand for all types of reasons.
One of their first uses, is to house train a pup not to do its business inside the house. I have very successfully house trained a couple of pups using this method, and have found that it worked really well. In fact, my pup was pretty much full trained within a week, though I was home all day at the time and I was really into it, making sure I took her outside often and kept her in view or in her cage if I couldn't be around for some reason.
Other good reasons for investing in a dog cage or dog crate are if you plan on traveling with your pup a lot, even in the car, it is really good to be able to temporarily restrain them inside their crate as opposed to having a young pup jumping all over you when you are driving.
They also provide your pup with a place he can call his own, a little refuge spot where he can run and hide from the busy world, and rest and relax. Pups generally end up really liking their dog crates, they love the security it gives them.
It's also great to have a place you can pop your puppy when you have to leave them in a room alone for a while, when you're going to the shop, or taking a shower or something like that. You really don't want to leave a young puppy unattended in a room, it's incredible the amount of damage they can do in a very short time! Believe me.
