Default Re: puppy-proofing house

When I say kennel I mean a crate; I call it both. Not the one you build outside and have dog run with but the one you use inside and to carry your dog in. You can get them at the petstore and they come in many sizes ranging from $50 to $200. This might seem expensive but they are actually a good investment since you only have to buy them once. You can use them inside for a bed for your pup and if you are taking them in the car and need a place to put them so they stay safe and don't climb all over everything or a safe place to to leave them alone in the house. A dog run outside is totally different and you would have to would that yourself. It would be ok to leave your pup out side for a period of time as long as it has shelter and food and water and maybe some toys to keep it occupied becaus ethen it can go to the bathroom. If you are leaving your pup inside you shouldn't leave it more than a few hours because their bladders are still weak and they have to go every 2-3 hours. You can extend the lenght of time left alone as they get older and they learn to hold it.
