Dogs have an ancestral cave instinct. We humans would probably feel disturbed being cooped-up inside a small place for a period of time, but for dogs, being inside a crate makes them feel secure and safe. They are in their “cave.” Once your dog is fully familiar with his travel crate, it will become his personal cave. He will experience many new sights, sounds, and smells during his journey, but all from within a place that feels reassuring and secure.
Cats don’t have that same cave instinct, but they are very partial to their favorite spaces. And most cats don’t like change. So it’s equally important to help your kitty come to see his crate as his new favorite space.
