You may have recently acquired a new furry little friend or perhaps one is a member of your family already, either way, you’ll need a dog bed for Fido. It may seem pretty obvious, but dog beds are an essential part of your dogs well-being, so choosing one that bests suits his (and yours) needs is something requiring a little bit of thought.
Dog Beds as Training Tools
No matter the breed of dog, using a dog bed as a training tool is a no-brainer. I rescued a Jack Russell puppy about 2 years ago, and the dog bed I bought for her was an essential part of her training. If your puppy is naughty, then ‘time-out’ in a bed is a great way to discourage bad behaviour. It is a common temptation to be with your new puppy all the time – and as cute as it may be to cuddle him constantly, or even allowing him to sleep in your bed, this is not good in regards to your dogs behaviour. If your dog is with you all through training, then he/she will suffer from separation anxiety when you are not there, and this can lead to your puppy chewing furniture, or scratching at doors, and even being physically ill because you are not around. Using a dog bed right from the off lets your dog know there is a safe place just for him, where he can relax, and this will help smooth out training hiccups as well.
Small Dogs
Small breeds of dogs, such as Terriers and Chihuahuas, cannot retain body heat as easily as larger breeds due to their diminutive size, so to help them stay warm and cosy, consider purchasing a fabric or pillow-style bed. You may have more than one small dog, in which case, having a place where they can all sleep together will help keep them warm and safe. There are fabric ‘donut’ style beds, and the pillow-style beds are a nice idea too, like a big squishy beanbags, but anything soft or furry will help encourage your puppy/ies to stay there.
Large Dogs
Large dogs, as a rule, are lumbering great beasts, and typically seem to fall asleep in the most inconvenient places, in front of doors or in hallways – pretty much anywhere that’s right in the way! Large dogs also tend to drool, depending on the breed, and cleaning drool off furniture is no fun in anyone’s book. A hardy, plastic dog bed is worth considering here, not only is it easy to keep clean, but if your dog is spending lots of time in there, there’s less drool to clean up elsewhere. You can of course add blankets or pillows if you feel your dog needs to be a little cosier. Dog beds are available for dogs up to 50kg, so you are sure to find a bed suitable for your best friend.
Choosing the right bed for your dog is actually quite important, from both a training and your dogs well-being angle, and getting the right one will ensure you and your dog can live in harmony. Your dog will love you more for having his own ‘safe place’ and this can only help improve your relationship with him.

We were staying with a friend while we were setting up shop and were soon tired of buses and taxis. We had planned on finding a Costa Rican Holiday house first, but soon realized the incredible inconvenience of meeting appointments with landlords with no car. With the house hunting on hold, we began our search for the perfect vehicle.
