Do You Really Need To Crate Train Your Dog? A few words about crate training philosophy Your dog (or puppy) does not initially understand how to live inside a house when they come home with you (even older dogs or rescues). Their sense of smell can lead them into all kinds of trouble...chewing couches or chairs or shoes, running into the street (following a scent), or snarfing down a bottle of prescription pills. It is your job, as the human, to help your dog be safe in his environment. Safety is established through crate training and supervision in the house. As you and your dog build trust, your dog is allowed longer and longer periods unsupervised out of the crate. See more on crate training here
