Getting Your Dog Comfortable In His Pen & Kennel
A bit of effort on your part can go a long way to ensure your dog adjusts well to his new kennel. Taking the time to introduce your dog to life in the kennel will lead to a better experience for both you and your pet.
Kennel familiarization may take several days or even weeks, depending on your dog’s age, temperament, and past experiences. It’s important to keep two things in mind while kennel training: The dog kennel should always be associated with something pleasant, and training should take place in a series of small steps. Don’t go too fast!
First, introduce your dog to the kennel by placing a favorite toy, blanket or beloved object into the kennel. To encourage your dog to enter the kennel, try dropping some small food treats nearby, then just inside the door, and finally, all the way inside of the kennel. If he isn’t interested in treats, try tossing a favorite toy in the kennel. Don’t expect instant results, this process may take several days.
When he enters the kennel, offer enthusiastic verbal praise. Quietly close the gate and secure it. Never slam the gate after your dog enters. He should regard his kennel as a safe place rather than a punitive time-out area.
For best results, introduce your pet to his new kennel enclosure for brief periods over time. Stay nearby. Some pets may try to bite or chew the enclosure; some may try to climb out. Your pet may bark or whine. Verbally reassure him. Increase the length of time he is contained until you believe he’s comfortable in his new kennel.
Pet toys and other familiar objects can be reassuring to our pet, and help to pass the time while he’s contained. For more information, consult your veterinarian or other pet professional to make your pet’s transition to the kennel as stress-free as possible.

-
Inspect for Damage: Periodically check the wood panels, gate, and hinges for cracks, splinters, or loose connections. Repair any issues promptly to maintain safety.

Check Gate Latch and Hinges: Ensure the latch is secure and functioning properly. Tighten or lubricate hinges as needed to ensure smooth operation.

Avoid Excessive Weight: Do not lean heavily on the gate or panels, as this could cause damage to the wood or weaken the structure.

Store Properly: When not in use, store the dog pen in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture damage and preserve the wood finish.
