How to Crate Train Adult and Senior Dogs

Catherine Walker is the sales director at Benchmark Kennels, a U.K.-based manufacturer of bespoke kennels for dogs.
Crates are an almost indispensable tool for dog lovers, useful for preventing canine separation anxiety, mitigating destructive chewing, and supporting the toilet training process. They can also provide dogs with a safe resting place when they’re feeling overwhelmed and make it safe and easy to transport pets.
You’ll need to help your dog adjust to using a crate, otherwise, it can cause them unnecessary stress and panic. Crate training is a common practice for puppies but, in some instances, older dogs will also benefit from the process. Adult rescue dogs, for example, may experience the process for the first time later in life after they’re adopted.
