Crate training is becoming popular as a must-have when training a new puppy. Staffy puppies are one of the most popular dogs around and adapt well to living in a crate for their first few months in a new home. Crate training has 2 distinct advantages when raising a young Staffy.
1. Security and imitation of his lair
The general idea is that your puppy or dog is content and begins to appreciate their limits. Staffies are affectionate dogs. As any homeowner will know, that is an understatement. However, there are many advantages to using a box to establish control. Especially with a strong-willed dog like a Staffy.
The points to consider is that the box should not be used as a punishment, but should be a safe haven for them.
Staffys are part of the terrier breed, and as a result, they like to stay confined. In the wild, they often burrow under leaves to feel warm and safe.
To some extent, the box mimics this. Giving your Staffy a feeling of warmth and security.
2. Potty training or potty training
The other thing that works well with a cage is that animals generally don’t like to dirty their sleeping area. Using a crate can really help potty train your Staffy puppy. You can establish a great routine with them by putting them in their cage at certain times of the day or night.
The boxes are well worth the investment. You can continue to use them forever or they can also function as a safe method of transportation for your car.
