What Are The Benefits Of A Midwest Dog Crate

This is a good Article on the benefits, uses, and quality of Midwest Dog Crates. If you are looking for a Crate for your pet, please read this. It is very informative.


If you are reading this I am guessing you have a dog or new puppy and are in need of a Dog Crate. It must be very confusing with all the products out there to make sure you get the best for your pet. In my humble opinion I feel the Midwest Dog Crate is one of the finest out there. Why you ask? It is a very well made and good quality dog crate. Also, you will find a variety of styles and sizes to meet your needs.

If you have a puppy it is a great way to help housebreak your pet. With the Midwest Dog Crate you can buy the correct size dog crate you will need for your pet when he is full grown, and adjust the size to accommodate your puppy as he grows with a divider panel. The benefit of this is you only need to purchase one dog crate. You may have a puppy that is a large breed such as a Newfoundland or Great Dane, or maybe you have a small breed like a Yorkshire Terrier or Toy Poodle. Whatever the size, weight, or breed of your animal, a Midwest Dog Crate can accommodate your needs.

Not only is the size of the Dog Crate important but the strength of the Dog Crate is also important for different breeds. The Midwest Dog Crates come in a variety of wire thickness and placement to create a strong, durable, and safe design. They have rounded corners for your pets protection. All styles are easy to set up and many come in a fold and carry configuration. Another fine feature you can choose from is the door placement or the amount of doors you want on your crate. You have the choice of a single door, double door, or even a triple door crate. Each of these doors comes with a safe and secure slide latch bolt to make sure the door stays closed.

Now that I have stated why I feel the Midwest Dog Crate is one of the finest made, let me offer a few benefits of using one.
1. Crate Training is a great technique for housebreaking your new puppy.
2. Crate Training is a great technique for saving your house from being
   destroyed by a destructive puppy.
3. With a Midwest Dog Crate you can create the den-like atmosphere that your   pet requires to feel safe and secure.
4. Most Midwest Dog Crates come in a Fold and Carry configuration which requires no tools for setting it up. This makes it easy to move from room to room.
5. Most crates come with a divider panel which allows you to adjust the
   length of the pets living area as your puppy grows into adult size.
6. All Midwest Dog Crates with the exception of the Large Breed Crate (sold separately)come with the plastic pan for the bottom of the crate. 

If you are planning to purchase your new Midwest Crate online, make sure you shop around. Prices can vary. Also, watch out for "Free Shipping" offers. I have found that most (not all) "Free Shipping" is not so. The cost of shipping is actually added to the cost of the Crate, so do some comparison shopping before you make your purchase.

Please Adopt A Homeless Pet

So Many Dog Training Methods Which One Is The Best For My Pet

It amazes me how many websites there are on dog training. I know that everyone of these people has a different approach or style of training to share with you. How do you know which way is correct? It can be very confusing especially if you are a novice dog owner trying to do the right thing for your pet.

Years ago we had the "dominate pack leader" approach or the "Negative Reinforcement" method. Throw your dog on his back and hover over him and hold him down to show your dominance. Or the put a leash and choke collar on a misbehaving dog and hang him into submission. With the negative reinforcement technique a dog would be punished for failing to learn something or exhibiting a bad behavior. This is done by a beating or shock treatment. This sounds awful, but sadly it was the common practice not so long ago. Did it work? Yes it did but for all the wrong reasons and would cause other problems as well. What this did was cause a animal to behave out of fear and lose confidence. A dog that is fearful becomes aggressive (a time bomb). In my opinion this is not a proper training technique. A dog naturally wants to please his leader, but needs to be taught what is expected of him. This takes time and patients to accomplish.

Today we have the "Positive Reinforcement" technique. You basically reward your pet for any good behavior, and try to ignore his not so good behavior. A dog craves attention from his master. If he behaves in an improper manner you completely ignore your pet. When he sees that he looses your attention he will be less likely to repeat the bad behavior. The opposite technique is used for good behavior. Reward and praise your pet when they exhibit a good or positive behavior. Remember patience with your pet always. Your reward will be a well mannered and well behaved friend for life.

In summary, when looking for a good dog training method use your good judgment. Any method that requires physical punishing, prong collars, shock collars, etc. stay away. A good training method will be basically how you would want to raise your child. Positive reinforcement, praise, your time, and plenty of patience is all you really need to be successful.

One of my biggest passions is animals, especially dogs. I needed a career change, so I took my passion and created a Dog Website. I want to promote quality products, but even more important I want to offer good information about them. I search many sites to find the ones that offer positive training techniques, health info, promote adoptions at rescue centers, as well as general info. I would really enjoy hearing from all of you with any ideas, information, or more great site that you have found and want to share. You can find these websites  at:  Busters Canine Supply Outlet.

Memory Foam Orthopedic Dog Beds They Are Not Just For Senior Pets

Orthopedic Dog Beds have been around for awhile. Most people think they are just a comfortable bed for their older pet, but that is not so. Our pets can have many different conditions where an orthopedic bed can provide a great comfort for them. Some of our pets have hip dysplasia, joint and bone problems, arthritis, recent surgery or injury. The list goes on. Orthopedic Dog Beds can be a great comfort for any animal with these conditions. Let me explain why. Most of our pets lay or sleep on a hard surface (floor,kennel,ground, or even a regular dog bed). Laying on a hard surface can make a painful condition even more painful for a pet with one of these conditions. Just by simply giving your pet an Orthopedic Dog Bed you can relieve the pain and stress on his joints, muscles, etc. that he is experiencing. These beds conform to your pets body and provide a cushion that relieves the stress on his joints and muscles. This gives your ailing pet a chance to be comfortable and get some needed rest while reducing his pain or discomfort.

It is also important to make sure that you have the proper size bed for your pet and a quality Orthopedic Dog Bed. There are some very good beds on the market today. The most popular seems to be the Memory Foam Orthopedic Dog Bed. It is basically like a memory foam mattress for people, and provides the comfort your pet will need. When choosing the proper size bed for your pet you should make sure your dog can lie down and stretch out completely. When he is all stretched out he should be completely on the bed and not hanging off of it.
The proper size is very important, so please make sure that you know what size he will need when you are purchasing your dogs new bed.

At Busters Canine Supply Outlet we offer Pet Dreams Memory Foam Orthopedic Dog Beds. These beds are wonderful for a pet with any of the conditions I have mentioned. They will provide your pet with the comfort that he needs. All of our beds will fit the Midwest Dog Crates and are easy to maintain. Just toss the covers in the washer and dryer. It's that simple.

Crate Training Information and Products to Accomplish it Successfully

I am a big believer in Crate Training. Crate Training is a wonderful technique to use to housebreak your new puppy. The days of rubbing your poor puppy's nose in the accident he made on your carpet are hopefully long gone. Please don't use this method. It does not housebreak your pet!! Using the Crate method is easy for you as well as your pet. It also can create the den like atmosphere that your pet requires to feel safe and secure. A crate should be your pets sanctuary. It should never, never be used to punish your pet. Children should also be taught to respect your pets crate. Don't let your child play in the crate or bother the pet when he is in the crate. A crate is not meant to be a place to keep your pet in all day. As your puppy gets a bit older he needs to play and release some energy. A pet that is couped up all day will no doubt be a crazy, rambunctious menace when he is let out. He needs to release energy, so please don't keep him locked up all day. Play with them, love them, make them part of your family. If you don't, why did you get a pet in the first place? Right??

Crate Training is a great tool for raising your puppy into the well adjusted adult dog we all want, but he also needs to be taught manners and obedience as well. I don't want you to think all you have to do is buy a crate and presto you have a wonder dog! A puppy is a big commitment just like having a child. Remember depending on the breed, your dog will be with you 9 to 15 years. The more time and effort, love, and training you give your pet equals the better chance you will have a well adjusted great dog.
