Since most will not eliminate in the same place they sleep, your dog will most likely try to hold it when it is confined to its crate. Crate training can also help prevent and fix many dog behaviour problems, such as destructive behaviour, fear of strangers or other types of people, and separation anxiety. If you have visitors who are afraid of dogs, crate training is also very effective. Is crate training cruel? A lot of people are not sure whether it's cruel or not to crate a dog or a puppy.

Therefore, it is very important to supervise any interaction between pets and children, and to teach children to play gently and to respect the animal. It is also very important that the dog is tolerant enough to patiently withstand some clumsy accidents that can occur during a game while the kid learns to be gentle. This includes, for example, hard patting and tail/ear tugging.

It's very important to recognize these signals and to react to them accordingly to retain your pack leader role. If you lose it, you will no longer be the owner in your house, and you dog will set up its own rules for the family that you usually won't like and that can actually be destructive and dangerous.

All dogs produce dander (microscopic skin flakes that can be inhaled and potentially irritate the nose, eyes, or cause sneezing) and saliva, which are the main causes of allergy in some people. Even hairless dogs produce some dander! When we say a "hypoallergenic dog", we imply a dog that sheds little to no hair. Such dogs produce less dander and, therefore, they are less likely to cause allergic reactions. Please note: The list below is NOT a strict guidance but rather a general reference of dogs known to be good for some allergy suffers.
