CARE TIPS for PUPPIES & DogS
Crate Training Your Dog
Crate training takes some time and effort but is a proven way to help train dogs to avoid soiling your home and other inappropriate behavior. The plastic, metal, or sturdy fabric crate becomes your dog’s “den” and should be just large enough for him to stand up and turn around in.
Crating should never be used as punishment and care must be taken that the dog isn’t left inside for too long. For detailed infor-mation on this dog-training technique, visit www.humanesociety.org/animals/dogs/tips/crate_training.html

Helping a Shelter Dog Adjustto a New Home
A puppy or older dog’s first few weeks in a new home is a critical transition period for the dog. How well you manage this period can help insure your dog will be a well-behaved and loving pet.
