How to Crate Train Your Dog

Crate training your dog can create a cozy, safe space they’ll adore! Follow these 4 easy tips to make crate time a positive experience.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Crate

Pick a crate that’s just big enough for your dog to stand, turn, and lie down comfortably. Add a soft blanket to make it inviting!

Tip 2: Introduce the Crate Gradually

Place the crate in a busy area, leave the door open, and toss in a treat. Let your dog explore at their own pace—no rushing!

Tip 3: Make It Fun with Rewards

Once your dog steps inside, reward them with a treat and praise. PupplyBox’s 2 USA-made treats in every monthly box are perfect for this! Toss in one of their 2 premium toys to make the crate even more exciting.

Tip 4: Build Up Time Slowly

Start by closing the door for a few seconds while your dog is comfy, then gradually increase the time. Always reward calm behavior, and soon your dog will see the crate as their happy place. Subscribe to PupplyBox for monthly treats and toys to keep the good vibes going!
