Dog Crate Mats & Pads

I want to line my dogs crate with a blanket or pad so he can be comfortable when he has to stay in it for a few hours, but he keeps chewing and ingesting blankets. Is there anything I can do to stop this behaviour so that he doesn't eat the blanket?

We have a 10 week old beagle. She is super smart and already knows sit and lay down. There are maybe two or three times a week where we have to crate her due to work. She is only left in the crate at a maximum of four hours at a time. The question I have is should we be putting a puppy pad inside the crate since she can't seem to hold it longer than 2 hours? Her crate might be slightly big for her now but she will grow into it. Thanks.

What size wire crate does a 15 pound Dachshund need...small or medium?

Should I have my puppies bed in his crate?

My new puppy is getting broken in to being in a crate when no one is home. He has puppy pads in there in case he hasnto use the bathroom and of course no one is there to let him out at the moment. When i come home his pads are sometimes ripped up and he only rips them when he’s left alone. To help avoid him tearing up things in his crate should i leave a blanket over his crate so he can’t see when people come and go and he’ll stay calm?

Charles is a 6 mo old yorkie. We have mastered the crate and he has a puppy apartment for his sleeping and crate potty needs (the crate is large enough & has a divider that separates the sleeping area from the potty area). He hardly ever messes in it. However when he is out of the crate, if I am not careful, the whole house is his pee pad. I would like him to use a pee pad when I can't get him out on time. I use dog treats and praise but still struggling.

Is there a good brand of wee-wee pads? Money is not an issue, but my Buddy is being trained to potty in and out of the house, but these pads are not good at all. Is there a pad out there recommended above another that will hold a good amount of pee? HELP

I am crate training my dog. is that the best thing for him

Hi! My 8 week old puppy is brand-new: 3 days with us! We are crate training him and he is taking to it really well but he’s peeing his crate at night - he never does during the day. He does not whine at night & he has a divider since his crate is sized to grow. We clean thoroughly whenever he pees. We’ve tried adding a 2:30 am walk (bedtime is 1230-630)- should I also take out the soft bedding? I read that could help but I feel bad for him on the crate floor! :(

Why does my dog rips every bed I put in her cage

I'm a first time dog owner. Kyro has plenty of toys a kong, Nyla bone, Tire toy and two ropes. Kyro has destroyed a pet pillow while being locked in crate. My question , while not being locked into crate, why does Kyro chew a comforter I've placed into crate? He does not swallow the pieces. How do I stop this behavior? A sincere Thank you to petcoach.

Hi! I just got my first puppy today! (Cocker Spaniel) I am a little troubled about how to go about crating her overnight for bed. I was given "pee pads" from the clinic and not sure if I should put them in her crate over night with her in case she has an accident but then I am worried she won't go to sleep if she finds herself having an accident in her crate. Help! Also- Should I place the crate next to my bed when she goes to sleep?
