Crate training is primarily important if a dog is hospitalized or in need of surgery. Under these circumstances, a dog may be placed in a crate or other confined space, and training will prevent stress and noise pollution. Crate training is also useful for plane trips, potty training, and preventing destruction when a dog is unsupervised.
