If you are thinking about getting a new puppy or dog then you will soon find out that you are in need of many pet supplies. The one necessity for your new puppy is a dog kennel. Dog kennels are available in various sizes, shapes and materials for different uses.
The Outdoor Dog Kennel
Play Pen Yard
For many dog lovers it is difficult to picture this, but many people keep their dogs outside most of the time. For the people who keep their dogs outside, there are outdoor dog kennels that are normally made from weather resistant chain link fence material or some other strong metal mesh material. These kennels usually enclose a large area to give the dogs room to roam about. Typically these enclosures have very high fences or are enclosed over the top with more fencing material. Huskies are particularly known as escape artists and it is highly important to make sure their enclosure be secured all the way around. A dog kennel run is another option that usually is larger than just a kennel and allows for more exercise.
Normally these dog kennels will be connected to a shed, barn or garage type enclosure so the dog has relief from the elements. If this is not available then a dog house must be provided so your pooch can escape the heat of the day or a freezing blizzard. Usually an outdoor dog kennel will be large enough for multiple dogs, but if you build your own kennel then of course you will be able to build it to suit your own needs. These kennels and dog runs are necessary for the health and happiness of your new dog, not to mention its safety.
Another option for those of you who will need to keep your new buddy from escaping the yard or mauling guests then you could always use an outdoor dog play pen. These play pens are dog kennels that are normally made of plastic and are much smaller than an outdoor dog enclosure. These work best for puppies and small dogs, but a well behaved medium sized dog should benefit from these play pens as well. These play pens are portable and you can take them where ever you go.
The Indoor Dog Crate
Well if you are like most people then your new best friend will be an indoor dog. It is important that your new dog, if he is going to be sharing your space, that he learns to respect that space. The first thing you will need to know is that you must teach your dog its boundaries and the best way to begin this is to crate your dog while you are away from home.
Dog crates are dog kennels for the home. They come in a wide variety of sizes and are typically rectangular in shape. These crates should be made of some type of metal material and have a door that locks. This safely prevents your new puppy from doing destruction to your home before they have learned not to chew or potty in the house. Kenneling your pooch will also help you to house train them much quicker and easier, keeping your stress level down considerably if utilized correctly. The dog begins to see the crate as its den and dogs will not soil their den if it can be helped. One important thing to remember not to leave you new puppy for longer than four hours without a potty break. It takes time for their bladders to grow to a size where they can hold it for extended periods of time.
There are many of you who might be cringing at this advice because you like to consider your dogs human and might think it cruel to lock them up, but your first mistake is considering them human. Dogs are dogs and are comforted when they know they have a place in the pack and they will feel much more safe having a place to call their own. Many dogs can eventually be trusted to roam the house freely while you are away, but still might use their dog kennel as a retreat and a place to relax and sleep.
If you are going to be using an indoor dog crate then it is imperative that you buy the appropriate size to match the dog. Every dog should have their own crate and each crate should be just big enough for them to stand up and turn around and that is it. If the kennel is too large it might encourage the dog to potty in the kennel because they can go to one side and use it as their toilet then get away from it by going to the other side of the kennel.
