In most cases, crate training (training your puppy to
stay in a wire cage or plastic airline carrier when she's alone or unsupervised) is the best option, but in some cases, a small room like a laundry room or bathroom may also be suitable confinement spaces.
As Mother's Day approaches, The Humane Society of the United States asks supporters from around the globe to remember the mother dogs suffering
in puppy mills, spending their lives
in cramped
wire cages, often with barely enough food and water to
stay alive as they churn out puppies for sale at pet stores and online.
