wow now I definitely know I chose right size and type, oh and by the way I chose the plastic ones.
German shepherd is a true old tomorrow. What size do u recommend. I’m needing to get one today or tomorrow. Please help
We always big a crate that’s too big, we stuff it with cardboard boxes and blankets to fill the space in tho to make it smaller until they grow into it as the breed I get (Australian cattle dog always!) grows extremely quickly. We also spray the fabric with Apple cider vinegar to stop them from ripping it apart
Hi! Crate training……I understand generally that undesired behavior must not be rewarded. So: My puppy is sure to be smart enough to realize when he is about to be released from his crate; and he is sure to be excited. How can I calm him before release so that he doesn’t conclude obnoxious behavior is rewarded with release? Tom/Rockford , Illinois
I live in a NY apartment. I am going with the plastic crate, the metal is way too bulky for my space. Puppy comes home in 2 weeks.
I’ve learned already soft-sided were not appropriate. I have a mixed teckel (he is quite tall for a teckel)
my puppy is so smart he escaped his crate at night
I’m probably going to go with a plastic crate initially. I’m going to be training a service dog so it needs to be able to travel well to work and events I go to. But down the road I’ll probably get a fabric one just because I can trust them more and I carry enough clunky stuff in my travels. Plastic kennel though could stay at work, beneath my desk.
If the crate is too big can i put some pillows on the back to make it a little smaller?
Will be getting a wire crate for the main crate in the living room, and covering (as recommended, away from sides), but for a secondary crate to move around the house, a plastic crate.
I had a metal crate for my previous dog. Used it for 14yrs. Its far too big for my new puppy. Was thinking of a soft crate for portability but listening to this video made me remember pups chew! Will most likely go for a metal one indoors and a plastic for travel. I don’t like the idea of a plastic one inside. Im still debating with myself
I will have a puppy very soon but I am confused about the right size of the crate, she is a Westie 3 months old. Would you please help me with this?
My dog is 48 pounds. The sizing guide options is 30-50 or 50-70
Which size do I get? He’s a husky mix
I have a nightstand that I want to convert into a crate for my puppy coming home soon. Is that ok instead of the metal crate I have for training? Is it ok to use both at the same time?
We are getting a goldendoodle in December. The breeder estimates that he will mature at around 40 pounds. I just don’t know what size wire crate to get. I want to get one that will fit him when he is “full grown”. Any suggestions?
both, one for first floor and one for bedroom (metal and hard)
May try a small plastic crate first… 8-9 week maltese
We have had my cavapoo puppie for one day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our new puppy was absolutely terrified of being in her covered metal cage. If the door is closed she’d bark, howl, cry, chew the bars, paw the bottom tray etc. It was awful. She can now sleep in the crate but ONLY with the door open. Perhaps we have to buy a plastic crate.
Where can I get one of those leashes in the back ?????
When I get 2 mini dashound puppies can they sleep together or separate? Which would be best?
Dogs crates are cruel and are used for the benefit of the owner and not for the dog. No animal should be shut in a cage. How would you like it? If you can’t provide a safe environment for a dog then don’t get one. They should free and safe or at least kept in a large dog proof room overnight or in the owners bedroom. Cages are cruel.

Getting a puli puppy in december, will totally use a crate after your videos!❤️
I question how will my puppy know it’s time to sleep the entire night in the crate if I have to leave her half the day for work in the crate covered up? Even if I get a break to let her out I will need to go back to work & possibly run errands afterwards. Is having her covered up in a crate for that long better than leaving her in the playpen with her crate during the day?
I raise guide dog puppies, so I have a new little puppy every 15 months or so
Because of this I use a metal wire crate with a cover. I never thought to put something larger on top of the crate to keep it from touching so the puppies don’t chew the cover. Great idea! I am going to add one of those ASAP just in case.
I use the plastic crates when I take my puppy to work though because I find it keeps them calm around all the noise at work and allows them to nap. The larger size isn’t a problem at work because I’m right there when they wake up for a potty break
Hi for the metal crate, do you have the puppy sleep on the black plastic slate in it or do you put a dog bed on top of that
Definitely going for the metal I checked the reviews and I couldn’t even finish it’s just too much but it’s five star so I think I’m going for the metal
Im getting a puppy this weekend and I am probably going to get a plastic crate
Does anyone know if there’s any plastic crates that have dividers?
I might get a goldendoodle, what crate is best for that I want you opinion please or anyone else Who has owned a golden doodle please give your opinions in reply because I’m not quite sure what to do yet
We’re getting our new family member in one week time.. I’ve been thinking which crate I should go for, and this video clip helps me to decide! Thanks a lot always!!
What do you think of the Digg’s crate?
I tried to click the link for the crash course and it didn’t work
I’m about to get a shih Tzu
Wish I had found this before we got our puppy. We had got him a cloth crate, he hated it and quickly learned he could jump on the side or the door and flip the crate to move it. He looked like he was he a hamster wheel. He was on his feet the whole time but I would have to put him under a table with chairs on ether side of him. I was afraid he would hurt himself if we continued to use it. I have been afraid to get him a new crate, as he gets very upset when ever he see the old one, but I did finally get him a plastic one. Now just to get him to be ok with it.
I love animals!!!
Im getting a female white 5 month old pitbull im so excited
I DIY’d a wooden crate without a top (using an old cradle), for my dog to be in, when I’m in the house (working from home because of covid …) but since he grew up a bit, he can now escape from it during the night or when I’m out of the house. So, I need to buy a crate. I was thinking metal, but after watching this video, I changed my mind to plastic. Thank you for the help!
My dog uses plastic crates and it is true that if you buy a durable crate/kennel they will last longer!I only had to replace my dogs crates cuz they were just too small and not because they broke
Thanks for watching the video Dog Crate – Which Dog Crate is Best. Which crate style do you use with your puppy?
My daughter and I will be heading back east 🇨🇦 to collect our puppies and fly ind back. Thought we’d use soft side carriers for the cabin. Suggestions?
I’m crate training my miniature labradoodle in a medal crate with a divider. I also have a plastic crate that he flew in and was delivered to me in. Because he may have peed in that crate during his travels, I will clean it thoroughly and use it as his travel crate. Thanks Michele for sharing all of your puppy training knowledge!
Thank you for your tips. I have a 4 month old Morkie and just yesterday, 1/3/2021, got her paw caught in the metal crate. What would be a good crate and should I stick to a plastic one ? Thanks 😊
Plastic!
Hey, your “Puppy Training Crash Course” link in the description is no longer valid or working. As matter of fact, a couple of the Amazon crate suggested links are no longer valid neither. However, Thanks for the informative video.
We are going to choose plastic
I’ve had great results with plastic, which I used to train my Corgi puppy 13 years ago. Unfortunately, she passed away last year, but now I’m getting another Corgi puppy, so I will again use a plastic one. Thanks for the video, I was unsure as to what size to buy, so your video was very informative!
Just subscribed because your informative, 😊
