I believe that owning a pet should be a great and fun experience for the owner and the pet. To kennel train, it’s going to be a time-consuming and probably frustrating experience, but it will work out. Kennel training is time for them to spend time in their kennel and learn to behave and listen. I know it might sound not so fair once you heard of it, but it doesn’t hurt your pet and it’s great for potty training.
You first need to go out and look into kennels and pick one that is the right size for your pet. You don’t want one that will be too small for your pet. They will need their room to stretch and sleep and stuff like that. This will be like a home for them when you are not at home to watch over them. So, buying a good size kennel to kennel train is a good idea.
Here are some questions that you may have:
- How long should I leave my animal in the kennel?
- Should I use the kennel as a place to put my pet when they have done something wrong?
- What should I do when my animals keep making noises when he/she is in their kennel?
Depending on the age of your pet is how long you should keep them in their kennel. You want to make sure you don’t keep them in there too long so they don’t use the restroom in there. Because that will just make them very unhappy and it won’t do them any good for potty training. So, depending on the age of your pet and how long they should stay, just be sure to research that.
It’s a good thing to use their kennel for a little time out when needed. Every time they do something wrong and you put them in their kennel it will finally teach them not to do that again. Just make sure you keep your cool and don’t get angry with your pet. You are only teaching them a good thing while you kennel train.
When your animal makes noises to get your attention in the kennel just try and ignore it. I know you might think it’s sad and you want to just unlock the kennel and let them out, but that is giving them attention and that is what they are wanting in the first place. Make sure you have things to keep them entertained in the kennel also.
Here are some items you can put in their kennel:
- Snacks for them to munch on
- Stuffed animals
- Blanket
- Toys
Animals are so fun to have and to be around. Sometimes they need their own space and time to just relax or just whatever. To kennel train is a very effective way to train your pet.
