DOG CRATES

Dog crate is a substitute of a den. All puppies need a den. Pianos and tables make great dens, but

furniture doesn't have sides for confinement likes dog crates. A modern den can be fiberglas or wire crate

that can be kept in any room in the house. This dog crate should be barely large enough for the pup to lie

down comfortably.

If your pup is one of the large breeds and you don't want to buy several dog crates as he grows,

buy an adult-size dog crate and partition it so it fits his current size.

Plastic crates are molded two-piece units with ventilation areas along the sides and a welded

steel wire door in front.These dog crates are lightweight, portable and are easily taken apart for storage.

Some of dog crates come in decorator colors. Most plastic dog crates varies between manufacturers

and you'll need to get one sturdy enough to resist chewing.

Wire crates are very popular and depending on your dog's need, may be a better purchase than plastic.

You'll need to shop more carefully for wire dog crates because quality and style vary greatly. Some of

them are flimsy and not meant to be collapse for storage.

How big should it be ?

A dog crate need only be big enough for the dog to stand up, turn around and lie down comfortably.

Growing pupies can be a problem when buying a dog crate. Not everyone can afford to buy a new one

for each stage of growth but too large a crate can make a puppy harder to housebreak.

Dividers are available for some brands so you can shrink and expand the puppy's space as needed.

Otherwise you can get a dog training.

How much will it cost ?

You can expect to pay between $50 - $125 for a quality dog crate for a medium to large dog.
