In this episode of The Pooch Parenting Podcast, we tackle the common dilemma of where to place your puppy’s crate for optimal crate training. While many sources recommend placing the crate in the family room or the busiest area of the house, this may not always be the best choice for every family and every puppy. We explore the pros and cons of different crate placement options for families with kids and provide practical tips to help you find the perfect spot for your furry friend. If you’re dealing with a curious puppy and a busy toddler , we’ve got you covered. Listen to this episode to learn how to balance your puppy’s comfort and training needs!
