When should we stop crate training our dog?
Full Question:
I have read many articles on how to crate train a puppy properly. However, one thing always escapes me. How do you know when it is time to stop? How do you know when to trust him? Should he be put in his crate for bed even when he is an adult?Thank you,
Robert
Ed's Answer:
Good question
Almost all new dog owners try and take the dog out of the crate too soon. There is no reason to allow a dog to have the run of the house until it is an adult. I would never do it. The only time the dog should be out of the crate is when you have your eyes on him. When that is not possible – he should be back in the crate.
Those that jump the gun and have accidents deserve what they get.
