Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Dog Crates & Crate Training:

Q: What is Crate Training? A: Crate training is a highly effective method for house training puppies, managing dog behaviour, and providing a safe, den-like space for dogs of all ages. It leverages a dog's natural instinct to seek a safe, confined area. When introduced properly, the crate becomes a positive place where your dog feels secure and comfortable, never a place of punishment.

Q: What are the benefits of using a dog crate? A:

• House Training Aid: Crates help with toilet training by teaching puppies to hold their bladder and bowels, as dogs naturally avoid soiling their sleeping area.

• Safe Space: A crate provides a secure retreat for your dog during stressful situations, such as thunderstorms, fireworks, or when strangers visit. It's their personal safe haven.

• Travel Safety: A secure dog crate is the safest way to transport your dog in a car, preventing them from distracting the driver and protecting them in case of an accident.

• Management Tool: It can be used to safely contain your dog when you cannot directly supervise them, preventing destructive chewing or getting into dangerous situations.

• Post-Surgery Recovery: A crate can be invaluable for containing a dog during recovery from surgery or injury, limiting movement to promote healing.

Q: How do I choose the right size crate for my dog? A: Your dog should be able to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably inside the crate. If it is too large, a puppy might use one end as a toilet. For puppies, you can use a divider to adjust the size as they grow.

Q: What makes the Savic Dog Cottage a good choice for my dog? A: The Savic Dog Cottage is a premium dog crate with a tough steel, rust-resistant construction for durability. It has a convenient fold-flat design for easy storage and features both a front and a side door (on most sizes) for versatile access.

Q: How do I properly crate train my dog? A:

1. Start Slowly: Introduce the crate positively. Never force your dog inside. Place a comfy bed, toys, and treats inside the open crate.

2. Positive Association: Feed meals inside the crate with the door open initially, then closed for short periods. Use praise and rewards when they enter or stay inside.

3. Short Periods First: Begin with very short periods of confinement, gradually increasing the duration as your dog becomes comfortable. Never use the crate as punishment.

4. Exercise First: Ensure your dog has had adequate exercise and a potty break before crating them. A tired dog is a happy crated dog.

Q: What kind of dogs are the different sizes suitable for? A:

• Extra Small (50cm): Very small breeds up to 5kg, like Chihuahuas.

• Small (61cm): Small dogs up to 11kg, like Pugs.

• Medium (76cm): Medium dogs up to 23kg, like Beagles.

• Large (91cm): Larger dogs up to 32kg, like Border Collies.

• Extra Large (107cm): Big dogs up to 41kg, like Labradors.

• Giant (118cm): Giant breeds up to 50kg, like German Shepherds.

Q: Does the crate have multiple doors? A: Yes. The two smallest sizes (50cm and 61cm) have a front and top door, while all other sizes have a front and side door for versatile access and placement.
