The Pop ‘N Go ® Pets Playpen is so much more than just a fun accessory for your furry friend. It can serve as their home within your home - especially if you use it throughout crate training. By crate training with the Pop ‘N Go ® Pets Playpen, you’re giving your pet the gift of their own cozy habitat while gently teaching them who’s in charge.
Creature Comforts
The words “crate training” don’t exactly sound warm and inviting at first listen. However, the whole purpose of crate training is to provide comfort for your pet, not punishment. Your pet’s crate - or in this case, playpen tent, should serve as their designated spot. No matter how fluffy and cute your puppy is, they still possess an animal mentality. In order for animals to feel comfortable, especially canines, they need to know where they stand in the structure of their pack. By giving them a specific place to go, they can better understand their role and feel more comfortable with you, your role, and the other people residing in your home.
Decorating the Interior of Your Pop 'N Go Playpen ® Pets Playpen
Have a little fun sprucing up your dog’s den. Keep in mind, this space should be cozy enough for him or her to hang out in for hours. Snuggly dog blankets or beds are a must for providing a welcoming abode. We also encourage you to include toys and a small-sized water bowl. Just make sure all of the items you include are super durable and safe.
Welcome, Home with the Pop N' Go!
Once you’re done decorating, you can invite your puppy to check out the Pop ‘N Go ® Pets Playpen. Do so by luring them in with treats and the toys they especially treasure. It’s also important to introduce your dog to its pen little by little, in small increments over time. Stay nearby for the first few times they’re hanging out in their Pop ‘N Go ® Tent. They will be looking for confirmation from you that their new home is safe. Your pup will need to get used to its surroundings before you leave for long periods of time or keep them in there overnight.
Let Your Pet Know They’re a Good Boy or Girl
Ample rewards are key to proper dog training. When you’re in the process of crate training your dog, make sure you have plenty of treats on you at all times. It’s always important to confirm their understanding of your commands with positive reinforcement, whether it be through treats or plenty of affection. If your fur baby retreats to the Pop ‘N Go on their own, deliver positive reinforcement. If they follow your instructions to head that way, affirm their job well done. It’s all about repetition.
