Where is the best place to put a dog crate?

If your dog is just starting with crate training, it’s best to put the kennel in a high-traffic area, meaning in a room where you and our family members spend a lot of time in. Why? For one, because you can frequently check on your pet to see how they're doing in their new little house (super important for very young pups). Two, because dogs are social creatures who usually like being near their human family, especially when they’re learning something new. So, you can keep the crate in your living room during the day - if that’s where you spend most of your time - and in your bedroom during the night so your pup can sleep near you. On the other hand, if you know that your dog is independent and likes spending time alone while relaxing, it may be a good idea to place the crate somewhere secluded so they can have some privacy.

How long is too long to leave a dog in a dog crate?

Crate-trained dogs have no problem staying in a kennel for hours on end. Most adult crate-trained canines will gladly stay inside a kennel overnight. However, it’s not a good idea to keep younger dogs locked inside a crate overnight simply because they’re not able to hold their bladder for so long. Puppies should be let out at least twice overnight so they can do their business in peace. In general, though, puppies should stay in their crate for three to four hours at a time. Similarly, senior dogs may need to be let out once or twice a night if they struggle with urinary problems.
