As a pet owner, what exactly do you think an airline crate is? A tool to check in when you go away? A prison to restrict your pet’s freedom? In many people’s eyes, another name for an air box is “confinement” because it looks so small. But if you really think so, it is not right, because the airline box has many uses, as follows. 1. provide a sense of security Dogs are animals that naturally like to den, the air box is like its room, and do not feel uncomfortable. Dogs will also look for small places to hide when they are frightened, such as when they hear the sound of firecrackers. Crate trained dogs will use the crate as a refuge and will be more stable when they are alone at home. 2. Training aid Because dogs don’t like to dirty their own sleeping place, the crate can also be used as an aid to potty training, making it easier for owners to grasp the timing of potty training. Visitors The crate can also be used to return your dog to its own “room” when you have guests who are afraid of your dog. It can also help reduce your dog’s anxiety about strangers visiting. 4. Boarding / hospitalization convenience Dogs inevitably need to board or hospitalization. After initial crate training, the dog can have a familiar space in an unfamiliar place, which can make him more stable and not be overly afraid to do harm to himself or others because of the unfamiliarity. 5. Traveling out safety It is safer and more comfortable to take your dog in a car. Checking a dog in an airplane must use an airline crate, again, well trained in advance, the dog will not be afraid because of lack of training. But for the matter of getting into the airline crate, many dogs are refusing to do so, all because of the lack of crate training. Therefore, we must first carry out some simple training to let the dog first love the air box, which is a must for puppy training. Training steps 1. Let the dog get used to enter the air crate First guide the dog into the air crate with food, throw the food to the inside of the air crate and praise him immediately when he walks into the crate. Do not close the door after entering the crate, and if the crate door hinders training, you can remove it for now. Practice this step repeatedly so that your dog can enter and exit comfortably. 2. Get your dog used to playing in the crate When your dog is able to enter the crate very actively, give your dog a more durable food or an intellectual toy (leaky ball, stuffing toy, etc.), try to close the door and let him stay in the crate for more time, and praise him gently. 3. Do not be too hasty and give treats or toys every time during training. When the dog is willing to sleep in it, lay a comfortable blanket or mat, and wake it up at the right time to come out to urinate, defecate and play. Do not use rough methods to stuff the dog into the air box, and do not use the air box as a punishment tool, once the dog has become resistant to the air box, the future need to use the air box to take the dog out will become very difficult, and will make the dog fear and anxiety. 2. Do not immediately put out when the dog barking When the dog in the air box appears crying, barking situation, it may be the case that the dog is not a dog. When the dog is crying and barking in the air box, it may be that your training is too hasty, or the time off is too long, and then you need to consolidate the previous steps. When your dog barks, don’t let it out right away and don’t respond to it, so the dog will learn to open the door as soon as it barks. You need to wait until the dog is quiet before opening the door.3. Do not scare the dog at will when the dog is resting or hiding in the air box, do not scare the dog at will, or drag the dog out hard, so that the dog always maintain a sense of trust and security of the air box.
