What size cage does a pitbull need?

Dog Cage Sizes

Advantages and disadvantages

There are a number of positive aspects in purchasing such a unique home for your beloved pet.

• If a small puppy is kept in a crate, then he needs it to ensure his own safety. In each apartment there are objects that he himself can ruin (tear, chew, throw). The owner will not be able to control the baby’s movements every second.
• When an animal is accustomed to living in a cage-house from an early age, it will not subsequently damage your furniture, for example, by chewing it. Such a dog will not scratch shoes or wallpaper, tear curtains to shreds, and much more. This form of keeping a pet disciplines him, he gets accustomed to the correct, unique manner of behavior in your apartment. Do not forget that a small puppy should not be left in a confined space for a long time. He should be placed in a closed cage for 3 hours a day until he grows up (up to 5-6 months). It is not recommended to leave the dog in the enclosure for more than 6 hours.
• A smart pet, as you know, will almost never go to the toilet in the same place where it sleeps and eats. Once accustomed to walking, it will wait for its owner and happily go for a walk. The exception is small puppies, who should be taught to go to the litter box from a young age or allowed to move around the apartment in those rooms where you consider it possible for you to be there. In this way, a dog placed in a crate house develops a daily routine, time for eating, walking and resting.
• The cage plays an important role in maintaining cleanliness in the apartment. If, for example, the pet was walked in rainy, damp weather, before washing the dog’s paws, it can be placed in an enclosure for a while. The cage itself must have clean bedding. It needs to be washed from time to time.
• If you have guests who are afraid of dogs or are allergic to wool, then in order not to spoil the evening and to protect strangers, you can temporarily lock the pet in its cage house.
• A dog accustomed to a crate feels good when traveling. In the house she is protected from other animals, for example, when it comes to trips to exhibitions, or hidden from contact with people, especially with inquisitive young children. There are animals that are afraid to travel in a car. By placing your dog in a crate, you will ensure that he can travel long distances without much stress. From the house, the pet will be able to observe the landscape around it and the main thing is to see its owner next to it.

The main disadvantage of an apartment enclosure for dogs is the fact that an animal such as a dog is quite mobile; being in a cage for a long time, it can become depressed. A growing pet needs constant movement for good development of skeletal muscles. Placing a puppy in a crate for 10-15 hours is out of the question.

A cage house should not become a place of punishment or exile for your dog, so it must be used rationally, without causing moral and physical harm to the animal.

Cages for dogs: purpose, subtleties of selection, manufacture and installation

A few decades ago, residents of small apartments could not afford to keep their beloved dog indoors. Modern spacious dwellings ensure that the pet not only has the opportunity to live with its owners in the same area, but also have its own house - a cage or enclosure.

Where to install?

Not every owner will want to place their pet in their bedroom for a number of reasons. The dog may whine, bark, or move around at night. Thus, your sleep will be disturbed. You should not install a crate with an animal in the area of ​​a children's room, or near a hot radiator or in an open draft. The best place in the apartment will be the hallway or office. The dog will be able to clearly observe the space around him, and also not feel loneliness in a remote and rarely visited room of the apartment.

So here it is. I study, and my apartment is full of everything I can eat when I'm not at home. I decided to find out what size a beagle’s cage should be for him to feel comfortable in it (the specific size of your cage, for example)? I'm just afraid for the health of the biglik, who may soon appear in my family. you never know! And where can I buy a cage? There’s not a lot of money either, so we need something better, but not very expensive.

is this the real scale?

But, seriously, I was thinking about such a cage. but I doubt that the baby will be able to sit there for 8 hours a day. probably too small... while he is still a puppy, maybe it will suit him. and when will it grow up? don't even know..

My son is 7 years old here, and the puppy is about 4 months old. And even as an adult, Jenny fits in the carrier quite comfortably.

Bru has a carrier cage about a meter long. I used it actively before. Now I only get it when I have kids. She fits there comfortably + 6-8 puppies up to 2 weeks of age. The cage came with a plastic drinking bowl, which was immediately eaten by Bru. Replaced it with rabbit one.

And Alvin lives freely with me, without cages. Of course, there were sacrifices in the form of exceptionally good expensive shoes (he didn’t eat any kind of slippers

My apartment is small, there’s nowhere to put a cage, but I locked Elya in the hallway. Of course he suffered, but it was tolerable. But the cat tore off the wallpaper. When they came to see the puppies, I explained to everyone that it was a cat, but they didn’t seem to really believe it

But for example, Tsezik’s cage can easily fit two or even three beagles. In general, the cell should be such that you could put a bowl of water there and still have some room left.

My apartment is small too! There is nowhere to put the cage. but you will have to displace some furniture for the sake of the baby. He just definitely needs his own place. but all the lying places are now occupied by my Shar Pei, he is unlikely to want to make room. so in any case you will have to somehow free up a square meter. and I need a cage because I’m afraid for the baby’s health.. I have a lot of wires and small things at home that he can swallow if I don’t keep an eye on him! My Shar Pei is just very obedient and doesn’t steal anything. That’s why we have all our things quietly lying where they want (even the meat lies next to his bowl, but he doesn’t touch it). so it will take time for my family to get used to cleaning everything up, and I don’t want the puppy to get hurt!

How to care?

The animal must be kept clean. You can have two beddings. If you wash one of them, the dog will not feel discomfort, since inside the cage it will be on a comfortable, removable bed. You need to make sure that the water from the drinking bowl does not spill and the dog does not end up in a puddle. After your pet has eaten, food bowls should be removed from the cage.

Your favorite toys should be inside. You cannot punish an animal that is in such a house if it has hidden any of your things there. We need to calmly pick her up. If the dog is punished, then placing your pet back in the cage will be very problematic.

In order for the cage to become a home for the pet, its owner should initially devote more time to his four-legged friend, playing with him in the immediate vicinity of the enclosure.

Basic rules of care

Training is the basis of mutual understanding between owner and dog. It also gives the animal an intellectual challenge. To live with a dog in an apartment, it is important to cultivate endurance and develop sustainable behavior.

Loud barking, loud whining and running around will cause a lot of trouble for your neighbors.

You need to teach the puppy to calm down and strictly follow commands. So there will be no problems with an adult Labrador in the apartment, even if he meets a cat in the entrance.

Active games and sports training are the key to ensuring that the dog gets the necessary physical activity. This is very important for pets.

Being alone, they experience stress and savor everything. Consequently, the dog struggles with feelings. A tired dog goes to bed after a walk.

Curious puppies often chew on shoes and other accessible objects due to teething. You can ensure their safety by first removing your items.

All wires and cables should be out of reach. Small and fragile objects at an unattainable height.

First days at home - what should you do?

Before a puppy appears in a private home, you need to purchase a number of necessary things:

• toys;
• supply;
• bowls for food and water;
• dog bed or mattress;
• brush.

Puppies can't stand it. Therefore, it will not be possible to avoid puddles, but your pet can be taught to walk on a diaper or in a tray - you need to take care of the place in advance.
