Your home is the family den to which your dog belongs, occupying a position on the ladder of hierarchy within your family. Your dog, if introduced correctly, will learn that the dog crate is his very own room within your household, much the same as your children's bedrooms are their space to call their own. An indoor crate can satisfy your dog's instinctive need for his very own den-like space where he finds sanctuary and a safe place to rest. What is a Dog Crate, Kennel or Cage? A dog crate, kennel or cage is manufactured of plastic, wire, aluminum, fabric, wood or wicker. It is usually a square or similar structure just large enough for your dog to stand up, turn around and lay down in comfortably. It is usually portable and can be folded or taken apart for ease of transport. The words, crate, kennel or cage are interchangeable in most cases. 1.

They are versatile, foldable and many come with a handle for portability. They give your dog 360 degree visibility, which is important to some dogs, and in turn lets you keep a better eye on your dog. They are not as denlike as plastic crates, but again, some dogs prefer the open environment with lots of light to that of the enclosed, darker plastic crate. 5. Large outdoor kennels can be dismantled and moved, but with more difficulty, as they are larger structures than a dog crate. A backyard kennel can save your yard from being excavated, as some breeds are prone to do, and free of urine and excrement that are not healthy for our bare feet. No matter what it is made of, a dog crate is usually light enough that it can be carried by 1 person for small dogs, and 2 people for medium to large dogs. Large to extra-large crates can be
