Getting a new puppy can be a very exciting event for you and your family.
With this addition comes much responsibility and many items are required to get your new friend off to a great start.
A new puppy has many obstacles that you will have to work through and help them get past.
The most important are sleeping through the night and potty training.
There are many products out there that assist in potty training.
Of course the best method is taking them outside when they need to go so they learn that is where they do their business.
For some this is not always easy.
We have school, work, and family events and activities.
If it is not feasible or desired to leave your new friend outside while gone, something else must be done to make sure they do not destroy everything you own.
One solution is potty training pads.
These are great but often a new puppy does not know that is where they are supposed to go while you are away.
Many pet owners find it easier to keep their pet in a crate while gone.
Now you may think this is cruel because they do not get exercise and it is a small space, but many dogs actually find comfort in them, sleep there, and it is their safe spot in the house.
By using a crate your new puppy cannot potty all over nor chew on your stuff.
If trained right, they will sleep there every night and will wait for you to come home and take them out.
Because it is their bed, they will not want to soil where they sleep.
If you are crating your puppy, they will need something comfortable to sleep on.
Hard surfaces are not a good sleeping area because they can put pressure and discomfort in their joints.
This will affect their sleep and daily activities.
As they age and grow the discomfort will get worse and they will have more trouble getting around.
Most pet owners who crate their dogs purchase a dog crate bed.
They are designed to fit every size of crate and are easy to clean and handle.
These types of beds allow the puppy to curl up in a corner or stretch out giving them a comfortable sleep no matter what their sleeping habits are.
Dog crate beds are normally flat and can be purchased with various colors.
Many come with slip covers that can be machine washed.
If you decide to remove the crate, they can be nicely placed on a hard floor or any other area in the house for a comfortable sleep.
Some put blankets in the crates, but this can cause the puppy to scratch and might encourage them to go to the bathroom in their bed.
These types of beds give them the right amount of cushion and comfort they need and will not encourage them to do the wrong thing.
Your new puppy will feel safe, secure and at home in their crate and will get a good sleep every night.
