Some dog owners resist the idea of putting their dog in a crate. The fact is that, properly used, a crate can become your dog’s best friend (besides you of course) and are not instruments of torture or forced confinement. Positive uses: potty training, emergency transportation, travel, quiet time, medical care, and more. The key is to make crating a positive experience, a safe space for your dog.
