Landslit was filled with an 8-week-old, an exciting but demanding task. One of the safest habits one can teach their dog is crate training to help keep them safe. It also makes toilet training easier as it prevents them from going where they actually sleep. A kennel is like a den, a place where a puppy can feel safe and rest. In a busy city like Dubai, living in apartments often includes the creation of a kennel schedule in order to a puppy’s potty training, playtime, and naps.
Why Crate Training Is an Option in Apartments
When you are in an apartment, you are devoid of a backyard where your puppy can play. By using a crate, the borders of the designated chewing area are clearly marked, restricting the pet from many dangerous areas of the house. It also helps in potty training; dogs will never urinate or defecate where they sleep.
Morning Program
Start the day early, around 6–7 a.m., since puppies have small bladders and can’t keep it for a long time. Puppy needs to go outside or be brought to a pee pad immediately after waking up. After potty time, give them some breakfast and time for play. So, when the puppy gets tired, it is put back into the house for a short nap. So, actually, puppies also sleep a lot at this age, anything from 18 to 20 hours a day, so not guilty about the crate naps.
Daytime Schedule
Whilst the puppy is awake, it will have four small naps in between short periods throughout the day… Mealtimes, naps in a crate, bladder breaks, and some playtimes in between. The golden rule is to take the puppy out every two hours-if they start whimpering, sniffing, or circling the room, it means it has to go sooner. Playing, courting, or rotating between the toys, far from swallowing, are done after every potty break. Once the puppy goes to sleep, take him back to the crate.
Place the crate near your work desk if it is a home-based job, so that the puppy may feel comfortable and safe. If your job requires you to go out of your house, hire a dog walker or pet sitter for potty breaks. Furthermore, leaving a puppy at home for more than a few hours could cause not only accidents, but also conditions such as anxiety.
Night Activities
Serve your puppy its meal between 6 to 7 p.m., followed by a trip outside and play gently. Get it into the winding-down mode for bedtime, teaching it that it is the time when they ought to relax. Have them all tied seen inside their crate by 10/ 11 p.m. after the last potty break at night. Keep the crate in your bedroom or near hear sounds of them during the night.
Conclusion
Hard as it may be, crate training in the Dubai apartment may really pay off greatly, providing a structure and safe environment for your LA puppy. Except for making a clear schedule, involving frequent potty breaks, and a lot of love, your puppy will feel secure and pick up good habits quickly. Eventually, the crate will become their happy place where you’ll have a well-behaved, confident companion.
