Dog Crates Give Your Dog a Comfortable Home Within Your Home

One of the many fine dog crates on the market can be the best friend you and your pet will ever have. While it may seem like some sort of “cage” to you and I, your animal will regard it as his own personal indoor dog house, a security blanket of sorts where he can go to sleep or escape. Travel models have the added advantage of providing the comfort of home for your animal while in strange or different surroundings.

They come in many different styles, shapes and sizes. A general rule of thumb about dog crates are that they should only be big enough for your pet to stand, turn around and lie down easily. Ideally, it will be just large enough for the animal to sleep on his side, with his legs stretched out. If buying a travel model, measure your vehicle first to make sure it will fit, or you could be in for a nasty surprise!

How much do dog crates cost?

You can expect to pay in the range of $50-$125 for a good quality model for medium to large-sized animals. While this might seem a tad steep, keep in mind that it will most likely last for your pet’s entire life, and even beyond. Properly used, they can provide true happiness for both owner and pet, and the initial cost is soon forgotten.

This can often be a difficult purchase for those with growing puppies. If it’s within your budget, you might want to check out the types that include dividers, so it can grow along with your puppy as time goes by.

For the largest selection, and often the best value, some of the biggest pet retailers on the net may be your best bet. You’ll find various styles, materials and prices. Some are sturdier or more convenient than others. No matter which way you go, dog crates go a long way to provide a “home within a home” for your pet.

How do I use the crate to train my dog?

It is important a puppy to be trained to use a crate in order to save time and effort in cleaning up after them while they are still being potty trained.
Believe it or not, a puppy is genetically pre-disposed to needing a den.

Though you may have furniture that a puppy likes to lay on, they really need something that is completely enclosed, giving them a sense of security and comfort. Isolated rooms in your house are simply too big for puppies, and can leave them nervous, anxious, and even destructive.

Once your pup is housebroken, then you should leave the crate open for them for the entire day. You will likely find that that your puppy will willingly go into the crate to take a nap at various points in the day. When you have to leave for awhile, you can put the dog in the crate, but not for more then four hours at a time.

Remember, even though we as human beings don’t wish to be placed in a tiny area where you only have enough room to turn around, you must keep in mind that dogs are not like people. Their ancestors would find safety, shelter, and comfort in their dens. Dogs today find solace and safety inside their crates in the same manner.

What kind of crate should i buy for a large breed dog?

i want a wire one with a divider and a pan but i keep hearing that they break too easily or rust and stuff like that. also, that the plastic pan breaks easily and that dogs who are chewers will destroy the crate itself. and ive read reviews about certain brands and seems they are only good for smaller breeds. i think the plastic ones would be too hard to clean incase they have an accident.
btw. it’ll be for a GSD. im not sure male or female yet.

- only for when it sleeps

You don’t want a plastic one for crate training. They harbor bacteria and also don’t have very good air flow through them. The coated wire crates are strong and also fold down flat for storage. I used one for my Newf/Lab mix dog when he was a pup and it worked great. http://www.drsfostersmith.com and http://www.jbpet.com have some really good quality crates and they’re also much less expensive than buying one from your local pet store. This is the model similar to what we had – http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3307+10627+8724&pcatid=8724 I think we got ours at JB, though, because their prices were a bit cheaper – http://www.jbpet.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=505_591&products_id=705

As per the “plastic pan breaking easily/they rust” well once Jake was housebroken mine was still in excellent condition so I sold it locally to someone on eBay for just $20 less than I paid for it!

EDIT: are you getting this crate to train a puppy or to stick an adult dog in “when he sleeps” as you added? If it’s the latter that’s cruel to cage a dog up like that. Crates should be only used to train puppies not to go potty in the house – not to lock an adult dog up in.
