3. Exercise and Stimulation: ● Ensure your dog receives adequate exercise and mental stimulation to help them relax and stay in their designated places. It will be difficult to get them to stay in either the bed or the crate if they have not had some physical exercise.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Inconsistent Enforcement: ● Allowing your dog to roam freely can create confusion and make training more difficult. 2. Using the Crate as Punishment: ● The crate should always be a positive space, not a place for punishment.
Conclusion
Keeping your dog in one of two designated places at all times helps establish clear boundaries, provides security, and prevents unwanted behavior. By consistently enforcing this rule and creating a routine, you can ensure your dog feels safe and knows what is expected of them. Keep it simple: Use the dog bed when you can watch and enforce that your dog stays on it. Or: Use the crate if you are busy and can’t supervise yourdog.
