| Dog Training Secret Tip #5: M.O.B. Rules |
|
A young puppy like a young child requires a lot of management. Some management tools for a puppy would be the crate, baby gates, a leash, etc. As your dog gets older and learns the rules of the house you don't need to manage as much. My dog Sam was in a crate for the first six months whenever I left the house. As she got older I would test a little at a time. I would leave her out of the crate for ten minutes, then increase to twenty minutes, until eventually she did not need the crate. There are a lot of dog owners that think a crate is a cruel piece of equipment. I totally disagree. I think it is cruel to give your dog to much freedom in the house when they are young. Dogs have no concept of electrical wires, chicken bones, or dangerous chemicals like rat poison. A puppy can get into a lot of trouble if left unattended. It is good to crate train your dog even if you don't personally like crates because at some point in your dog's life they may have to go to a groomer or spend a night at the vets, all of which require you dog to be in a crate.
