Home dog cages: The misunderstood 'safe house for dogs'
-- Scientific interpretation of its real value and the rules of use
Many people stereotype the home dog cage as a cold tool to "restrict the dog's freedom." In fact, if the scientifically designed dog cage is used correctly, it is not only a "protective cover" for the growth of puppies, but also a "psychological safety zone" for adult dogs. This paper will disassemble the function, selection criteria and use taboo of the family dog cage, and restore its essence as a modern pet raising tool.
Four scientific uses of home dog cages:
1.Puppy safety education
- Prevent gnawing wire, eating foreign bodies and other dangerous behaviors;
- Helps to establish a "spotty" habit (placing urine pads inside the cage, taking advantage of the dog's natural tendency not to mess up the nest).
2.Relieve separation anxiety
- Through in-cage reward training (such as hiding treats), the dog associates the cage with a "pleasant experience";
- Provide a familiar safe environment when going out and reduce anxious behaviors such as barking and tearing down the home.
3.Recovery monitoring
- Limit activity after surgery or injury to speed recovery;
- Isolate sick dogs in multi-pet homes to prevent cross-infection.
4.Emergency space
- To deal with fire, earthquake and other disasters, can quickly transfer the dog;
- When strangers visit or the environment is chaotic, avoid the dog stress to escape.
