Is crate training only for housebreaking puppies? Or does it play a much bigger role in your Doodle’s comfort, safety, and confidence throughout life?

In this episode of The Doodle Pro® Podcast, I’m joined by world-renowned separation anxiety expert Malena DeMartini to dig into the surprising benefits of crate training — long after the puppy stage.

We cover:

  • Why many puppies become “little land sharks” without a crate to help them decompress 🦈
  • How crates can prevent over-arousal and support better sleep habits
  • Why ditching the crate too soon can make emergencies, vet visits, and grooming far more stressful
  • How to protect your dog’s crate as their safe space (and teach kids to respect it)
  • The truth about the “dogs are den animals” myth
