Often when people adopt a new canine friend they will have trials in getting the dog acclimated to its new environment.  The dog will often chew your favorite pair of shoes, eat your couch, get into your garbage can, and possibly use your family room as its own personal potty.  Many of these problems can be resolved by crate training your dog.  This is not a cruel punishment if you follow a few basic guidelines when getting your dog acclimated to its crate.  The end result will be a happy human and a happy dog.
