In this episode of The Canine Paradigm , we address the controversial allegation by PETA that crate training is neglectful, therefore cruel to dogs. This bold claim has stirred debate within the dog training and pet owner communities. Glenn and Pat dive into why they vehemently disagree with PETA’s stance, breaking down the benefits of crate training when implemented correctly. Far from being cruel, crate training offers dogs a safe and comfortable space that supports their natural instincts. It can help with house training, reduce anxiety, and even keep dogs safe in certain situations. The episode also explores common misconceptions about crate training and provides practical tips for ensuring it is done in a humane and effective way. Whether you’re new to crate training or looking to challenge misleading claims, this episode brings clarity to an often-misunderstood topic.28: Is crate training cruel Further Details Are you in search of top-tier dog trainers and steadfast supporters of the Canine Paradigm?
