Among the pet owners, there is a world problem, that is, is it better to keep dogs in cages or free-range? Different people have different thoughts, so they often have differences.

Cage raising school:

"It's too dangerous outside. After the free-range breeding, the dog runs out and knocks it down, who will bear it!"

"Free-range? Let's joke, once free-range, our dog can tear the house, and it still needs to pee everywhere!"

"Free-range breeding is unlikely to free-range, and it's inconvenient to bite people."

"Cage raising is too cruel, it really erases the nature of a dog!"

"Dogs are locked in cages, not happy at all!"

"Carding dogs in cages for a long time is like keeping you at home for a long time, do you want it?!"

In fact, it is not certain whether it is free-range or cage raising. It is necessary to look at the living environment and temperament of the dog. When the living environment of the dog is relatively safe, and the dog is quiet and smart, it is okay to raise freely. But if the dog's living environment is very large and unsafe, and the dog is naughty, then raising a cage is a very good choice. After all, the cage will become an area to maintain the safety of the dog.

In addition, one incorrect thing to correct here is that raising a cage does not mean keeping a dog in a cage for a long time. Appropriate cage methods will make the dog feel safer and are a way to love it.

What is an appropriate cage method?

1. Choose a large cage

Nowadays, many people's daily lives are getting better and better. Therefore, when pet owners choose cages for their dogs, they do not have to choose the type that is not big. It is best to choose a wide large cage or a type that is surrounded by guardrails, so that the indoor space of the dog-themed activities is higher and there is no sense of restraint.

2. Let the dog understand that cages are a good place

Pet owners do not need to treat cages as a punishment or protection area, which will make the dog feel that cages are wild animals, and once the pet owner wants to lock it in, it will be very resistant. The cage should be regarded as an area for dogs to reward, rest, and play games, so that the dog will like this place and will not resist when entering the cage.

3. Let the dog enter the cage under the appropriate circumstances

There is no need to keep the dog in the cage all the time. You should choose the appropriate circumstances and let the dog enter the cage itself. For example, when sleeping or when customers come, the store does not necessarily close at the beginning. After the dog integrates, reward it with some snacks and then closes the store, so that the dog will not easily resist.

Therefore, pet owners must properly raise their dogs, and naturally they must pay special attention to their healthy diet. After all, a healthy diet can ensure the physical and mental health of the dog.
