5 Things You Must Know About Dog Fences
Knowing how to properly set up your dog's fenced living area can help save you a lot of trouble.
Fenced Living Zone
Fenced living quarters were created for two purposes:
- PREVENTING misbehavior.
- CULTIVATING good habits.
By confining your puppy to a certain area, you can prevent them from urinating, defecating or chewing on furniture when left unattended. Utilizing a fenced living area also teaches puppies to use a stationary toilet, chew only on toys and rest quietly.
5 Important Things
- Suitable area: The ideal living area for the enclosure should be in the living room, utility room or part of your room, preferably near a regular poop and pee spot. So when you take your puppyout, you can easily guide it to the toilet.
- Sleeping arrangements:Give your puppy an air box or bed with the door open all the way, or even with the top removed, to provide a high-sided bed that is easy to clean. A dog bed may be chewed, you can use a towel instead and put the chew toys next to the bed.
-
Chew Toys and Feeding: Using leaky toys in the fenceis a good way to train your puppy to be alone and to chew on toys only. Stuffed chew toys hold your puppy's attention and reduce the possibility of chewing other things(your shoes, for example). Using a food leakage toy instead of a food bowl, and teach your puppy to get food through play.
- A bowl of fresh water
-
A dog toilet:Dog pee pads are not recommended as they may prolong the training process. Dog toilets with mesh plastic trays are handy to avoid puppies forming false defecation preferences. If outdoor spotting potty training is desired, prepare a large litter box, baking dish or tray with materials for outdoor use,such as turf or gravel.
