Discount Dog crates will not hold a dog that has not been crate trained. You must start slow with your dog to make them comfortable with dog crates before closing the dog crate door and going away. Your dog should feel the discount dog crate is their "safe place". If your dog is fighting the dog crate (biting and scratching at the dog crate doors) they are not ready to be left alone in dog crates. They will tear the dog crate up. If your dog is not crate trained and tears up dog crates, it is not a warranty issue. This applies to all dog crates by all manufactures sold here.

Discount Dog Crates are one of the most efficient and effective ways to train a dog. The single most important aspect of dog and puppy training is that you reward and praise your dog or puppy each and every time she does the right thing. For example: praise her when she chews her own toys instead of the couch or eliminates outside instead of in the house. The more time you spend with your puppy or dog, the quicker and easier it will be to train her.

The key to house training is to establish a routine that increases the chances that your dog will eliminate in the right place in your presence, so that she can be praised and rewarded; and decreases the chances that your dog will eliminate in the wrong place so that she will not develop bad habits.
It is important that you make provisions for your dog when you are not home. Until your dog is housetrained, they should not be allowed free run of your house. Otherwise, they will develop a habit of leaving piles and puddles anywhere and everywhere. Confine her to a small area such as a kitchen, dog crates, bathroom or utility room that has water/stain resistant floors. Confinement is NOT dog crate training.

Note: All dog crate sizes are measured outside to outside.

Please look at the sizes provided for each crate and carrier.
Make sure you dog will fit and have room to move around
