How Does The Denning Instinct Help Crate Train An Anxious Dog? Are you curious about how understanding your dog’s natural instincts can improve crate training, especially for anxious dogs? In this informative video, we’ll explain how the denning instinct plays a vital role in helping your dog feel safe and secure in their crate. We’ll cover how dogs are naturally drawn to small, enclosed spaces because it mimics their wild ancestors’ dens, providing a sense of protection. You’ll learn practical tips on choosing the right crate size, creating a cozy environment with soft bedding and familiar smells, and placing it in a quiet yet accessible spot in your home. We’ll also discuss the importance of positive reinforcement, such as feeding meals and giving treats inside the crate, to help your dog associate it with comfort and good experiences. The video will guide you on how to introduce the crate gradually, encouraging curiosity without forcing your dog, and rewarding calm behavior. Additionally, we’ll share how calming aids like pheromone sprays or diffusers can make the space even more soothing for your anxious pup. By understanding and utilizing the denning instinct, you can make crate training a positive experience that supports your dog’s emotional well-being.
