As much as your dog is your best friend you must learn to contain your dog. This how you restrict him to places he shouldn't be such as your room or upstairs especially if he is a new pet who has not been housebroken.
Having kids in the house is all the more reason to contain your dog to keep him away from your kids at a time when he is not used to having kids around. Kids are kids may be unaware of the pain they could inflict on the dog making your pet retaliate by attacking your kids.
When your pet is still a puppy, you will be beset with a host of problems from puddles of water or dog poop behind the recliner to furniture scratches and chewing on electrical cables. These things can be controlled when you house train your pet but before he learns manners you should contain your dog to keep him safe.
There a number of indoor containment systems and sometimes its hard for first time pet owners to choose which is why the following section presents the types of indoor containment systems available in the market today.
1. The Wire Cage is a type of indoor containment system that is made up of a wire mesh that allows your dog to see what's going on around him. This is a place he can call his own, a place where he can rest and sleep.
It is well ventilated and is good for a dog that has a longer coat and/or places that have warm temperatures. You can choose between a non-collapsible and a collapsible (for easy storage) type.
The wire bottom will keep him away from his mess in case your dog has an accident. Some large models have a divider that you can use to separate two dogs from each other.
2. The Plastic Crate is more convenient for taking your pet with you, in airlines or just a trip to the vet. This what the law requires that airlines use transporting animals.
It is easier to assemble than a wire cage and its collapsible design makes it easy to store. However, it's made of lighter but strong material therefore its easy to move around even when your pet is inside.
If your pet has an accident it's easier to clean than a wire cage. Perhaps the nicest advantage is it can be converted into a doggy bed if you take off its top.
3. The Pet Gate is a barrier system that keeps your dog from places he is not allowed to go. This is another way to keep your pet safe and your family as well.
For instance, they can keep your pet away from your baby and keep your pet from climbing upstairs. You can easily install a pet gate on the door to your kitchen or the bottom of the stairs.
It is made from durable and fire resistant material (if it is made of steel) and pets can't knock it down easily. It allows your pet to play in areas he is allowed to be plus its attractive designs can be a nice accessory wherever you install it in your home.
4. The Room and Surface Barrier uses mild electric pulses or alarms to designed to distract your dog (not to hurt him) so that you can keep your pet away from furniture or rooms he must not have access to.
5. The Vehicle Restraints are perfect for keeping your dog safe when he is in the car. It prevents your dog from getting hurt by bumping himself into the car's interiors during those sudden stops, starts, and turns.
Remember these systems are designed to contain your dog not as a form of punishment but as a precautionary measure. Don't jail your pet for doing something unacceptable, it is your responsibility as the owner to teach your dog how to behave well.
