Best Prices on Indoor Puppy Pens

Keeping puppies safe and clean at all times can be a bit of a challenge. Indoor puppy pens could be the solution that you are looking for to keep your home protected from their sharp teeth. Many people use these pens for more than protecting their furniture. Pens can be used when transporting your puppies, at shows, and can also be used outside so that your dogs can enjoy some sunshine. An indoor puppy pen could be exactly what you are looking for if you need a way to confine your puppies that will keep them safe while providing them with enough room to get good exercise.

Here are a few safety tips for using indoor puppy pens:

1) Making sure that there is plenty of fresh water and toys in the pen will keep your puppy from getting bored or dehydrated. Of course if you are leaving your dog in the pen for any length of time then it would be wise to provide them with enough food to do them while you are away.

2) Although they are indoor puppy pens they can still be set up outside. When using the pen outside make sure you do not put it in direct sunlight. Instead find a nice shady spot that will keep the metal cage from getting hot.

3) When making your selection consider your puppies size. Most pens will accommodate all breeds without a problem but if there will be more than one puppy staying in the cage at a time then you will need to calculate the needed room.

These indoor puppy pens are a great choice if you are thinking of purchasing one.
Here are the features:

36x18x30"

6 sided pen for breeders, shows and your own home or backyard.

Chrome-plated metal with hygienic, no-pinch adjustable floors.

Folds flat for easy transportation and storage.

Elevated floors; pan slides out for easy clean up.

Before I begin these steps there is something that everyone needs to understand. You not only have to have a crate to use with this training guide. You also need a lot of PATIENCE. If you don’t possess this ability then please do not attempt to train your dog yourself. The crates are never to be used as a tool for punishment. Now that we have that out of the way, let’s begin.

*Always take your time when training your dog. Only go as fast as your dog is comfortable with.

DON’TS

DO NOT leave your dog in his home all day. Keep a regular schedule to allow your dog to relieve their selves every few hours. Puppies can hold their bladder around 4 hours and older dogs 6-8 hours.

DO NOT force your dog inside their crate or use it as a tool for punishment. Crates are intended to be your pet’s secure home and do not need to be associated with punishment.

DO NOT put your pet inside the crate if they have diarrhea or is vomiting. This can cause bacteria or worms to grow inside the crate.

DO’S

• Let your dog get comfortable with his crate as slowly as he needs to. Forcing them inside the crate will not accomplish anything. Overly praise him with your voice, toys or treats.

• Make sure your crate is large enough to accommodate your dogs size. If you have a puppy it would be wise to invest in a crate that will grow with your dog.

Here is my guide on selecting metal dog crates

• Make the crate into a comfortable, relaxing area for your dog by adding their favorite toys and a comfortable bed. If the only place for them to have a soft bed or get to their favorite toys is the crate then they will be more willing to use it at their leisure.

• Give your pet enough time to get use to the new crate. At first your dog might be very nervous about entering the enclosed area but over time they will improve with PATIENCE.

So that was the dos and don’t of crate training dogs. Make sure you keep those dos and don’ts in mind at all times when training your pet. Now here are a few basic steps to start your crate training. These will make crate training your dog as easy as pie!

Step #1) Open the crate door and secure it so it will not move. Bring your dog as close to the crate as he is comfortable with. Praise him and give him treats every time he gets closer to the crate or even acts curious about it. (make sure you do not praise him or give him treats if he backs away)

Step #2) After your dog has became accustomed to being around the crate drop treats right at the crate opening. After your dog has eaten a few treats place more a little farther inside the crate until you get your dog to go all the way in. (do not shut your dog inside the crate as soon as he is in, this will only frighten him)

Step #3) Create a positive association with the crate. Start this by feeding your dog their meal inside the crate. If your dog still will not go all the way into the crate you will need to put the bowl as far in as they are comfortable with. Push the bowl in farther during each feeding until your dog is eating with his body all the way in the crate.

Step #4) After your dog is accustomed to eating his whole mean inside the crate (this usually happens after several days of having the food all the way in) then you need to take the next step and close the door while he is eating. *During this training process it would be best if you stay by the crate. Start by immediately opening the crate when your dog finishes eating but gradually increase the time the door stays closed.

Step #5) The next step will be to get your dog adjusted to going into the crate when its not feeding time. During this stage you will need to decide on what command you want to use. Something as simple as “crate” will work fine. Encourage your dog into the crate with treats or their favorite toy. Close the door; give him praises and more treats. Make sure that you stay by the crate and talk to them. After a few minutes open the door and let your dog back out. Give them an abundance of praises when they are back out of the cage. Do this for longer amounts of time every day until your pet can stay in the crate for long periods of time without becoming anxious.

Step #6) Do this for longer amounts of time every day until your dog can stay in the crate without becoming anxious. Stay close by the crate during these training periods. If your dog gets nervous and whines you might be progressing too fast for your dog. If this situation occurs then you will need to slow down and progress at a slower rate.

Step #7) After you have followed all the steps you will be on your last step. This is the final step and you can give yourself a big pat on the back for a job well done. During this process you will need to put your dog in his crate and leave the room. At first you want to leave only for a few seconds. Build up this time so that you can leave for long periods of the day.

If you put these steps into action you will have a crate trained dog in just a matter of weeks. It all depends on the dog and trainer so some might take longer or be completely trained in a matter of days. Remember patience is the key to crate training dogs.

Guide to selecting metal dog crates

Small Dog Crate to Extra Large Dog Crate

There are many different kinds of dog cages available. This article was written to help people when selecting plastic or metal dog crates. When you take a look at them you will find there are many different names for them; dog crates, dog cages and dog kennels just to name a few. These will range from ones you use when traveling on airplanes or in your care to those that are used at home for training purposes or to keep them confined. Hopefully this article will help you in your selection along the way.

Crates for transporting your dog will be soft, lightweight and collapsible. These are perfect for traveling, storing when not in use and are extremely easy to work with. Small dogs almost always feel more comfortable and calm while traveling in a crate. Some dogs even get car sick and dog cages will alleviate this problem. The crates will give any dog the sense of security that they feel at home.

These soft dog crates are just one way of transporting your dog. You can also get cages that are made out of hard plastic. These are used mostly with only smaller dogs and cats because they are made to be carried by their handle. These types of cages can be used for a more rugged journey such as when only taking your pet on short trips. One thing to look out for if you do travel with your pet is plane/train approved crates. The hard plastic crates in most cases will not be approved. In these situations you will need the soft cages.

Click Here for a Activity Cat Tree Furniture for 3+ cats

Most people choose a cat tree based on how well it fits in with the décor of their home. I know you don’t want the activity cat tree furniture sticking out like a sore thumb in your house but there are a few things to consider other than just looks alone. First pet furniture of any kind should be functional. You want your pet to use it not just look at it. Pets (especially cats) are naturally curious animals and something new in their territory will defiantly make them investigate. You know the old saying “curiosity killed the cat”? That is exactly what it will be like. But keep in mind that even though your pet “investigates” does not mean they will actually use it. So look over these tips before making your activity cat tree furniture selection. *NOTE: I have also provided a link to one that we recommend.

Tip #1: Size does matter if you have more than two pets. Multiple pets will require a larger tree to keep everyone happy. The tree will need to have enough space and toys for however many pets you have. Having a positive experience will keep your pets investigating and eventually taking ownership of the tree.

Tip #2: It is very important to match the tree design to the personality and activity level of your pet. For example: Does your cat like to sleep on top of high furniture? Do they like to play in enclosed areas? Does your pet have claws and need a post to scratch on? Answering these questions will help you deciding if you need a tree with high sleeping areas, mini houses on the tree, and scratching areas. Make sure if you have a multiple pet household to choose a cat tree that will accommodate several different activity levels in one single unit.

Tip #3: Over time your cat tree will start to look “used”. You can extend the life of the tree by choosing a tree that you can easily replace over used parts on. If your pet destroys something on the tree try to fix it or replace it as soon as possible. Most can be replaces or fixed by anyone who is handy with the super glue J

Tip #4: If you have a declawed or elderly cat then you need to consider their ability to move throughout the tree. In this situation you need to choose a tree that has ramps to help these cats get from one area to the next.

I hope that these basic tips help you in picking the perfect activity cat tree furniture for your pet.
