Confining your dog usually means putting them in a crate or a small room to calm down after they’ve misbehaved. It’s best to keep the confinement time around two hours and avoid going over three hours. The main goal is to help your dog recognize their mistake. Dogs generally can’t stay in a boring, enclosed space for too long. If confined for too long, they might develop feelings of resentment or rebellion, which not only prevents them from understanding their error but could also make them less affectionate towards you and even fearful.
