Choosing the right size
A dog should stand, turn and lie flat inside. Measure his height at the shoulder and length nose to tail, then add a few centimetres. Use a divider in a full-size dog crate while a puppy grows, rather than buying twice.
Crates that suit a living room
Slatted wood reads as furniture rather than kennel. A side table with built-in crate gives you a usable surface, and the crate furniture side table is the heavier option. Always compare internal dimensions, since frames take up more room than they look.
Playpens for puppies
A playpen with a door gives a puppy room to move away from his toilet area, which a crate cannot. The playpen with window panels suits dogs that settle better when they can see out, and a foldable pen travels easily.
Travel and the car
Rigid beats soft in a vehicle. An aluminium car crate keeps its shape under braking. Pair it with a belt or seat protection from our car seats and travel collection for shorter journeys.
Settling a dog into a crate
Feed meals inside with the door open, cover part of the roof so it feels enclosed, and never use it as punishment. Put his own bed from our dog beds and mattresses inside so the crate smells of him from day one.
