Canine Containment

Setting up your new puppy or adult dog is critical for success. This is absolutely required for homes with children and dogs. Boundaries must be maintained when there is not direct supervision.

Boundaries are also useful for adding a new dog into a household with an established dog. Or adding a new pup into a home with cats. Cats must have a way to escape the pup!

In this multi-dog household the use of crates is critically important at meal times to ensure everyone’s safety.
