Common questions

Can a crate be too big?

For house training, yes: a puppy may use one end as a toilet. Use a divider and make the space bigger as the puppy grows.

How long can a dog stay in a crate?

Adult dogs no more than a few hours at a time during the day; puppies about one hour per month of age, plus toilet breaks.

Which crate for a growing puppy?

Buy the size for the expected adult size and use a divider. The Puppy weight calculator helps estimate it.
