Crate Training Your Pit Bull Terrier Puppy: How Big Should the Dog Crate Be?

Did you know that crate training your Pit Bull Terrier is the most responsible thing to do as a dog owner and that everyone should do it? Properly training your Pit with the crate is one of the best things you could ever do, and I’m going to explain exactly how to do it correctly. If you’re not exactly sure what I mean by “box training,” don’t worry. This article is going to break it all down for you in easy to understand language.

When you first bring your Pit Bull terrier puppy home, it’s important that you show him exactly what his territory is. It is at this time that you will present him with his box.

Place your Pits box in a designated room or area of ​​the house so you can go there to rest and relax. This is very important and should not be a high traffic area.

You can buy a box at your local pet supply store, or you can make one yourself if you wish. A partitioned wire box is preferred, so you can divide it into sections when it’s small and then expand the partition as it grows. The box should also have a washable tray underneath that slides out for easy cleaning.

I would recommend a large cage for your Pit Bull, then put up the partitions so your pup has plenty of room to stand up and lie down. However, you don’t want him to have excess space, as this will give him a place to go to the bathroom without having to lie down on it.

The use of partitions is more important than the size of the box you buy. Be sure to use them to limit your puppies’ free space in the crate and be consistent with the routine. Congratulations on being a responsible pit bull terrier owner!
