Buying a large dog kennel might seem like the perfect solution for your puppy woes, but much like other things, size does matter and bigger isn’t always better. OK, enough of the euphemisms, but seriously, you must purchase the dog kennel that fits the size of your dog. You are probably thinking that if you have to kennel your dog while you are away, you want to make sure they are as comfortable as possible and to us more room equals more comfort. This is a big mistake! Be sure to buy a dog kennel that gives your dog just enough room to stand up and turn around. This is the perfect size no matter the size of your dog. This will help with house breaking and offer up a sense of comfort for your pooch. A dog will not relieve itself where it sleeps and it will consider the kennel its den, but if the kennel is too large the dog may relieve itself in the furthest corner and then lay down at the opposite corner. This will defeat the purpose of house breaking and having a kennel in the first place. Also, by nature, a dog will feel safer having a place to call its own and to sleep and you may be surprised that they soon go to sleep in their kennels all on their own without prompting.
