| Re: Crate vs No Crate basically, crate training is teaching the pup or dog to be content resting in it's crate when you need it to be there. Using a crate helps to keep a pup safe while you can't supervise it and also helps with housebreaking it. As the pup gets older and more rambunctious, it helps keep it out of trouble when you can't supervise it. Since the pup gets out when supervised, it stays out of trouble (for the most part) and training is a more positive experience, less chances to chew up couches, etc. |
