CRATE TRAINING TIPS

INTRODUCTION
Introduce your pet to their new home. Let your pet explore it first-on their own time. Don’t force your pet or rush the process. Rememl.r, you want your pet to think of their crate as a positive, safe space of their own, so let their natural curiosity lead. If your pet seems reluctant, entice your pet to explore by putting your pet’s favorite toy inside.
TIME
Acclimate your pet to it slowly. Once your pet is comfortable, get your pet used to the idea of stayi, in their crate little by little. At first, keep your pet inside the crate by sitting or standing in front of the open door while talking soothingly. Do this for a short amount of time, then gradually increase it. Eventually, close the door, leaving it closed for a short duration, increasing it gradually. Praise your pet and reward them with treats each time. Remember, positive associations!
DENNING
Appeal to your pers instinct as a denning animal. Help your pet associate their crate with a den (or a castle) of their own by creating the safe space where all their basic needs are met. And make it comfy for your pet by placing a towel, bed or blanket at the bottom. BATHROOM
Take your pet out for regular potty breaks. Wild animals don’t do their business in their dens. Reinforce this natural instinct in your pet by taking your pet outside, away from their “castle. to cio their business. And do it regularly. Younger animals especially need to be let out more frequently. POSITIVE ASSOCIATION
Never put your pet in their crate as punishment. That creates negative associations and will make your pet reluctant to use it. PROFESSIONAL HELP
Always consult your veterinarian or trainer with specific questions for crate training your pet.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

We care about the safety of your pet, so please READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS before using a new crate. Improper use may result in serious injury or even the death of your pet.

To prevent choking and other serious injuries, always remove any collars, tags or leashes from your pet before placing your pet in their crate.
This crate is not designed to restrain aggressive breeds of dogs who may thrash and launch themselves inside the crate. Consult your veterinarian for recommendations on restraining aggressive pets. – Before your pet enters their crate, make sure that it’s secure. Double-check that the crate is properly assembled, all screws are tightened, and all locks are secure before leaving your pet inside their crate.
It’s never a good idea to leave your pet inside their crate for too long. Remember, pets need time to socialize, exercise and go potty! Consult your veterinarian or trainer to determine the appropriate amount of time that your pet can safely and comfortably be left in their crate.
Make sure that your dog’s paws are large enough that they won’t slip through the bars in the floor panel.
Always be sure your pet has enough food and water before leaving your pet in their crate.
Consult your veterinarian about whether it’s safe to leave food, toys or other items in the crate with your particular pet. They all have unique personalities and habits, so what works for one might not work for another.
Never place multiple pets into one crate.
Never use the crate without its tray properly fitted and secured, and be sure not to place your pet into a crate with a damaged tray.
• Please, never allow your children to play in, on, or around the crate.
We know how excited pets can get, but do be sure to make sure their paws, snout, ears or tail aren’t in the way of the door hinge or latch. Ouch!
Never place your pet’s crate in direct sunlight or store your crate outside or in a car, because the metal can become very hot. Never leave your pet in a closed car on a hot day. Serious heatstroke or death could result from an overheated pet.
While we are dedicated to providing the best for your pet, Chewy, Inc. is not responsible for any loss, damage, discomfort, injury, illness, death or costs of any kind as a result of or by use of this crate.
