Our high quality dog cages make an ideal starting place for puppy toilet training /house breaking and allowing your dog to have a safe place to rest while your away from your home. Using a dog cage is proven to work when it comes to house breaking you dog and is backed up by vets and the kennel club.

So that your puppy associates his/her Cage, kennel or crate with comfort, security and enjoyment, leave small treats in the crate. Your puppy will then discover the treats whilst exploring his new home, so associating the crate with a pleasant reward. Also feeding him in the crate has the same effect. Always praise your dog when he enters his new crate. Do not force your puppy into the crate. We suggest you induce your puppy into his crate with a small treat or toy. Overnight you may need to place your puppy in his crate and shut the door upon retiring. Dog cages can be located in your kitchen, lounge or your bedroom overnight.

It is advisable first to crate your puppy for short periods of time while you are home with him. In fact, crate training is best accomplished while you are in the room with your dog. This prevents an association being made with the cage and you leaving him/her alone.

Adult dogs often take to cages quite quickly, however dogs that are not cage trained from puppies or may be suffering from separation anxiety should be introduced to a cage slowly, in your presence until they are completely comfortable with their new home.

A few key points to remember about dog cages
1. Always be sure to allow your dog the opportunity to "empty" himself outside before leaving him in the crate.
2. When your puppy is quite young, be prepared to get up early in the morning to take him out. Always stay out with your puppy, and praise him when you get the required result.
3. Very young puppies may have an occasional accident in the cage. Do not make a fuss; just be prepared to clean it up. They quickly learn to go outside their own cage (bed).
4. Never use the cage as punishment. You need your puppy to be happy to go into his crate at any time.
5. Once your puppy has been inoculated, give him plenty of exercise and socialize your dog. Local dog trainers offer puppy classes. This is an ideal way for your dog to get used to other dogs and people.
6. A dog crate can be used at any time in a dog's life. Many pet behaviorists recommend a cage even for older dogs.
7. Do not leave your dog in direct sunlight or in a conservatory or anywhere he may overheat.
