Canine Development and Testing

Many people that call us about their dog think the crate looks like a cage. It feels like punishment. Or prison.

So they leave their dog with full run of the house because it feels kind.

But here’s what that dog is actually experiencing….

Every sound, every movement, every door, every car, it’s all incoming information your dog needs to process.

The crate is the only place in the house where nothing is being asked of that dog. No decisions to make. No environment to monitor. No threats to assess.

That’s not cruel. That’s the most generous thing you can give a nervous system that is struggling to regulate.

Clarity is kindness.
