I would like to consult about games and circles.
ChatGPT
Of course, you can consult about gauges and circles! Gauges and circles are important items for providing a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. Below are some frequently asked questions and advice for your reference.
Purpose and use of the gauge
Gauges are used to ensure dogs are in a safe place and limit their free movement around the house. It is especially useful when you are away from home or resting at night.
Give your dog a positive experience to help him get used to the cage. It's important to fill the cage with treats and favorite toys to make it a comfortable place.
size and comfort
The gauge should be wide enough for your dog to stand up, turn around and lie down. Make sure there is enough space for your dog to be stress-free.
For growing dogs, it's a good idea to choose an adjustable gauge with future size in mind.
Use of Circle
A circle is an area larger than a gauge and a space in which your dog can move around. Suitable for safe exercise and play for short periods of time.
Circles are also useful for potty training and socialization training.
Placement of gauges and circles
Gauges and circles can be placed where family members are often present so the dog feels safe and not isolated.
Avoid prolonged confinement
Avoid confining your dog in cages or circles for long periods of time. Dogs are social animals and need to spend time with their families as companions to humans.
training and positive experiences
Use positive reinforcement when training your dog to enter a gauge or circle. Make sure your dog has a positive experience with praise and treats.
Depending on the dog's personality and situation, the optimal gauge and circle usage may differ, so please respond appropriately while observing your dog's behavior. Feel free to ask me any questions!

I have a Norfolk Terrier puppy that lives indoors, but I put him in a cage when he sleeps.
ChatGPT
The approach of keeping Norfolk Terrier puppies indoors and caged when they sleep is generally good practice from a dog safety and training standpoint. Puppies are curious and may explore the house and chew things, so using a cage to provide a safe environment can help prevent accidents and accidental ingestion.
Here is some advice on using cages for puppies:
Place the cage in a comfortable place: Place the cage in a comfortable place for your puppy. A place where the family gathers and where the puppy feels safe is ideal.
Make the cage comfortable: Place a cushion or favorite toy in the cage to create a comfortable environment for your puppy to rest.
In the cage to support potty training: Puppies are in the process of potty training, so placing a potty sheet or litter tray in the cage will keep them out of the room.
In-Cage Training and Play: Build trust with your puppy through in-cage training and play. It is important to use positive reinforcement to make entering the gauge an enjoyable experience.
Appropriate Use of Time: Try to avoid prolonged confinement. Puppies are social creatures and love spending time with their families. Gradually reduce the amount of time you spend on the gauge and try to interact more with your family.
Using Gauges at Night: At night, they are often out of sight, so putting them in the Gauge allows them to rest safely.
Keeping the above points in mind, using cages for puppies is an effective method for training and safety. It is also important to adjust how the gauge is used as the puppy grows. Have a great time with your puppy!

He will soon be 5 months old, and the size of the gauge is about 50cm x 120cm.
ChatGPT
By the time puppies are 5 months old, they are growing and becoming more active, with more energy and curiosity. The fact that the gauge is divided into a rest area and a toilet seems to be well designed as part of toilet training. Here is some advice on designing that gauge:
Gauge size: 50cm x 120cm gauge is spacious enough for Norfolk Terrier puppies. This size provides ample activity space and promotes proper rest and exercise.
Separation within the gauge: Separating the toilet area from the rest area can help facilitate potty training. Puppies tend to be naturally clean and will develop the habit of excreting in the litter area.
Potty Training: Potty training is an important step in a puppy's growing process. Place a litter sheet or litter tray in the litter area and help your puppy eliminate there. Reinforce positively by rewarding or giving treats when successful.
Play Space: It is also important to have play space within the gauge. Encourage exercise and brain stimulation by placing toys and creating spaces for your puppy to play.
Regular exercise: It's important to reduce the amount of time you spend in the cage and exercise regularly outside. The Norfolk Terrier is an active breed and needs plenty of exercise.
Comfort in the cage: Make the space in the cage comfortable and safe. Make sure the sleeping area is comfortable with a cushion or blanket to help your puppy relax.
Puppies should be trained and loved so that they grow up healthy and become great family members. Potty training and socialization training takes time and patience, but can be successful with continued support and positive reinforcement. Enjoy communal life with a happy dog!

It's hot now in the summer, so I'm laying a cooling mat for dogs underneath.
ChatGPT
Great idea! During the hot summer months, a cooling dog mat will keep your Norfolk Terrier puppy comfortable. Dogs are sensitive to heat and it is important to prevent overheating. Cooling mats help reduce body temperature and are effective against heat.
Here are some points about using a dog cooling mat:
Proper size and thickness: Choose a cooling mat that is the right size and thickness for your puppy's size. Proper size is important so that your puppy can sleep comfortably.
Cooling effect: The cooling mat has the effect of lowering the body temperature, but be careful not to cool it directly. A mat that can be adjusted to keep it from getting colder than necessary is a good idea.
Keep it clean: Cooling mats are often placed in areas that get dirty easily. Clean it regularly so your dog can live in a clean environment.
Additional Cooling Space: In addition to placing a cooling mat inside the cage, using fans, coolers, etc. to provide a cool area will help your dog feel comfortable.
Heat Stroke Prevention: On hot summer days, it is important to be careful of heat stroke. Always monitor the puppy's physical condition, and if you see signs of heatstroke, immediately take measures to cool it or consult a veterinarian.
Heat protection is important for dog care in summer, so using a cool mat is one of the effective ways. Please devise ways to support a comfortable summer for puppies and maintain their health.

It seems that the current method is not wrong.

The Norfolk Terrier is a small dog with a lively and intelligent personality. With proper care and training, they will grow up to be loyal members of the family. It is also important to provide a cool environment and moderate exercise, especially during the hot summer months.
As the puppy grows, it's a good idea to include potty training and basic command training. It is important to train using positive reinforcement and build a trusting relationship with your puppy.

Sometimes I sleep on my back in that gauge.
ChatGPT
Sleeping on your back is one of the most common and natural sleeping positions for dogs. Puppies, in particular, often sleep in an unprotected position. This is a sign that you are resting comfortably in a trusting environment, meaning you are happy and relaxed.
The habit of sleeping on your back is based on your dog's instinctive behavior. By exposing your stomach and chest, you can lower your body temperature, which is especially effective in hot weather or when sleeping in a hot room. This posture may also indicate an absence of stress or tension.
However, while a puppy sleeping on its back is a sign of comfort, it is also important to make sure the environment is safe. Especially when your dog is asleep, it is important to keep it in a quiet, safe place and away from other pets and small children.
When you see your puppy sleeping on its back, you can feel its comfort and security. Supporting the happy development of a Norfolk Terrier puppy and building a trusting relationship are important factors in living together as a good companion. Have a good time!
