In the wild, dogs naturally live in dens. Their natural instincts drive them to find a small space to sleep and find warmth and security. Most dogs don’t want to be near their own waste and make an extra effort to keep their space clean and dry, making an excellent tool for toilet training. Don’t be surprised if while company visits, during a bad storm, or any other uncomfortable activity. Your dog will see their new Crate as their sanctuary, safezone, life-long home, and den.

Your puppy crate should be large enough so that your dog can stand up, turn around and lie down comfortably, but not much bigger.
Although it’s tempting to purchase an oversized crate to give your pup more room, doing so can derail the potty-training process by giving your pup the space to go to the bathroom at one end while staying dry at the other.
Pet parents with large breed pups can anticipate their pup’s growth by purchasing the largest sized crate their dog will need when they’re fully grown and using an adjustable crate divider to keep the available space inside the right size.
This is a great crate at a really good price, with very quick delivery. Very happy with the purchase
just what I wanted. Super quick delivery
This is the perfect crate. Has a divider so you can use from puppy to adult. I previously brought a size large from another store which my German Shepard puppy grow out of within five months. I had wished I just brought the giant to start with. It is big but it’s perfect for the big sized doggies.
Got this for my lab cross. He can stand in it and stretch out when lying down. He had tried the large (which is perfect for our border collie) but it was too cramped - he couldn’t stretch out and always had to be curled up. He hasn’t escaped from it so I think it’s pretty sturdy. Only weird thing is that they put a hook type feature which faces up under the door on one side and it’s for hooking the crate when it’s packed down - but it seems a bit daft to have it stick out like that! It’s probably easy to bend and take off but I choose not to. Hasn’t caused an issue yet.
