	What is Crate Training ?
		A dog "crate" is the general term referring to a rectangular enclosure consisting of a top, a floor, 3 sides, and a door.
		The crate should be long enough to allow the dog to lay down stretched out flat on his side, and tall enough to allow the dog to sit up without hitting his head.
		A "crate routine" should be established immediately, closing the puppy in the crate at regular intervals for 1 to 2 hours during the day.

	Crate Training
		The benefits to crate training are many, but the most important one is that it can prevent unwanted behaviors from developing like destructive chewing for example.
		Look at the alternatives to not crate training your dog: finding piles of poop and puddles of pee, furniture torn up, clothes in shreds, garbage all over the place, or worse, your dog or puppy seriously hurt or dead because it go into some chemicals, poison or chewed through an electrical cord.
		Crates are a great bed for your dog and prevent the dog from roaming about the house at night.

		Crate training is the use of a plastic airline crate or a wire cage to confine a puppy when the family is not home or is unable to supervise the puppy's activities.
		The only time crate training would not be advisable is in a situation where a puppy will be left alone for an extended period of time and a family member cannot come home to let the puppy out during the day.

	Crate Training your Dog or Puppy by Perfect Paws
		The key to house training is to establish a routine that increases the chances that your dog will eliminate in the right place in your presence, so that she can be praised and rewarded; and decreases the chances that your dog will eliminate in the wrong place so that she will not develop bad habits.
		Short term confinement to a crate is intended to inhibit your dog from eliminating when confined, so that she will want to eliminate when released from confinement and taken to an appropriate area.
		The crate is not intended as a place to lock up the dog and forget her for extended periods of time.
