Large Dog Travel Crates – Get Your Pet Safely to Your Destination
Large dog travel crates are indispensable tools for dog owners. A situation where you have to take your dog with you on a trip will always come up. In this article I will let you in on a few secrets and useful tips that will help you and your dog have as safe a trip as possible.
First of all, you will have to choose a fairly large travel dog crates, but they have to be just the right size for your dog to comfortably fit into and be able to turn around. It is best that you know beforehand the exact day when you are going to go on the road. This way you will have a couple of days to get your dog used to his new crate.
Large dog travel crates are usually made out of 3 parts: the bottom, the top, and the door. After you have received your crate, you should remove the bottom and position it in a place in the house where you spend the most time with your dog. Use that as a bed for a while. It can also be a good idea to feed him in there and make it so that he always finds his favorite toys in that spot.
After he gets used to that, you can try and add the top of the crate too. If he seems reluctant to get in, you can try to feed him in there; just throw bits of food closer and closer to the crate and then inside the crate. This should be easy to pull off, since he is already used to that spot being the place where you feed him, but if he still won’t go in, just give him a little more time with the top off. Next step of course is to add the door and keep him in there for longer and longer times until he learns to enjoy it. Make sure you praise him every time he gets into the travel crate by himself.
Another little subtlety you can try is when taking him out for a walk, even if it is just to the front yard, get him in the crate like you would go on the road and then let him out and play with him, feed him, let him go to the bathroom and all that good stuff. This way you get two advantages: he associates the crate with good things so he love it there, and secondly, he will start to indicate to you that he wants to go out by just getting into the crate and getting all excited.
Now that the day you’re going on the trip arrived and the dog is comfortable in his crate, there’s one more thing you have to keep in mind: don’t feed him for a couple of hours before the trip and of course take him for a walk just before you get into the car. Farewell!
