Instinctively, dogs want a personal territory
and safe, secure comfort zone of a dog carrier to fulfill their
need to "den". Dogs prefer to keep their sleeping areas
clean and dry. A dog carrier offers a positive solution to house-training
and minimizes destructive behavior. This is your dog's bedroom.
We offer both wire and soft-side dog
carriers. A wire dog carrier is best if you are using your dog
carrier primarily at home. A soft-side dog carriers work best
if you need to take your dog carrier with you when traveling,
vacationing or just running around town although they can also
be used at home as well.

Housetraining/Carrier
Training
Take the puppy outside after each nap or meal. Do not
play with him until he has done his business. If he hasn't
"done his business" within about 10 minutes,
take him back inside and put him in the dog carrier. Repeat
the above routine in 15 minutes. Remember, no play until
the puppy does his business and lots of praise and a food
treat. Puppies learn to "Hold it" when they
are in the dog carrier and if they go to the bathroom
in the dog carrier they can't get away from it. They do
not like that. So, they learn to Hold it when in the dog
carriers.
Playpen for puppies
when you're not home.
If you need to leave your home, you should place your
puppy in the dog carrier. A puppy that's crated will not
chew the furniture or wet the floor when your out. If
he has already wet the carpet or chewed the furniture,
do not put him back in dog carriers as punishment. You
want your puppy to love and feel safe in dog carriers.
After the puppy is housebroken, leave dog carriers open
during the day. You'll find that the puppy will nap in
the dog carrier by choice. You can continue to put the
puppy in dog carriers when your away from the home as
long as you don't leave them confined too long or they
start think of the dog carrier as punishment.
Some hints for dog carriers use:
•
When
telling the dog to go into his dog carrier, use
a command such as “Crate up.”
•
To
get the dog accustomed to staying in dog carriers,
give him meals or treats in dog carriers with
the door open.
•
Put
some washable bedding and a toy in dog carriers
for comfort.
•
DO NOT use dog carriers
for discipline. It's to be a happy, safe place.
•
If the puppy or dog soils
the dog carrier, don’t scold. Instead, make
arrangements so he’s not left alone for
such long periods.
