When Should You Stop Crate Training a Dog?
Crate training helps teach puppies how to hold it until they are taken to the proper place to relieve themselves. Spending time in the crate for longer and longer periods conditions their behavior because a dog’s instinct is to avoid soiling the same place where he sleeps. In the confined space, he must control his bladder and bowels to keep that area clean. However, many dogs don’t have to continue with their crate training once they have been successful in their potty training.
