Dog Cages

Dog cages have become a more and more popular staple within the homes of dog owners, mainly because they are helpful with training. Dog cages are also known as crates, due to the fact a lot of people are more quite happy with calling the cage a crate because cages are often associated with jail and cruelty. There's really no difference between a crate and cage; the only real time that a do cage should have a negative effect is if it is involved with a puppy mill or any other cruel acts directed towards dogs.



Playing around the world currently, there's two main types of dogs, wild dogs and domestic dogs. Domestic dogs are dogs that are not wild and are kept usually inside a home or family as a pet, while an outrageous dog runs about freely and it has no "owner" or "master." Wild dogs will even build dens in the wild where they are able to eat and sleep; regardless of whether a dog is wild or domestic, all dogs have the instinct to have their own dens. Since most dogs usually have that instinct, that's the main reason why domestic dogs will usually take kindly to some dog cage while he or she will associate the cage having a den.
