In order to speed potty training and help your pooch gain confidence, start with puppy crate training.

Puppy Crate Training in Mooresville, North Carolina

When you bring home a new puppy, you will quickly realize that there is more to puppy training than getting your new pooch to avoid chewing on your shoes or using your carpeting for a potty spot! Puppy training in those first few months is an essential steppingstone for future successes and sets the tone for future training. If you are starting to feel a bit lost or overwhelmed with your puppy training, our team at Dogs By Andy K-9 Services is here to help you get started.

Something that we recommend with all new puppy owners is to learn about puppy crate training and implement it at home with your own puppy. Puppy crate training mimics a den, like one that a wolf would use in the wild to protect and raise their pups. Whether you use a wire crate (which can be covered with a blanket to darken the area when needed) or a plastic crate, puppy crate training is beneficial for both puppies and new pet parents.

Puppy crate training comes with many advantages. Many puppies become overstimulated and are anxious for a safe, quiet place that they can call their own and answer their primal need for a den. Additionally, because puppies naturally will avoid eliminating where they sleep, it can help to speed up potty training for your pooch.

In the Mooresville, North Carolina area, there are plenty of dog-friendly areas to enjoy. Make sure your puppy is getting the right start with the safety and security of puppy crate training from Dogs By Andy K-9 Services.
