Urban Dog Living - Dog Crates

Condos are small spaces.   Does your dog have a place to call its own inside that small space?  I'm not talking about a fluffy cushion to lay on.   I'm talking about a dog crate.  Dog crates come in all styles, shapes and colors.  Most people will opt for a wire dog crate to allow airflow and be able to see the dog. 

Dog crates have two benefits; first they give your dog a place to call its own and second they give you a place to feed, and contain your dog.  Dog crates are also the second most important part of house breaking (the first being keeping the dog on a time-table).   Dogs don't want to go to the bathroom in a place they are sleeping. 

Tip for the day:
Choose a dog crate that is 4" longer (from nose to butt) and 4" taller than your dog.  Anything larger will be too big.  Don't use the "This Crate is recommended for" breed listings because they are usually incorrect.
