Basic Necessity for a City Dog
If you have a medium sized doggie and are looking for a crate because you live in an apartment this particular model is a good choice. Crate training is amazingly simple (just don't use it for punishment--make it a happy experience when your puppy go into his crate). We have been using this for two months and he takes to it easily.
1. Easy to put together and fold away. Solid black e-coat steel wire conjoined with small metal plates with welded corners facing out. It comes with a slightly smaller divider that you can hook to the insides of the crate. As our puppy got bigger we moved the divider and eventually removed it.
2. The two doors (one on the long end is off-centered) are not removable and opens only one way so it's not omni-directional when you place it in tight spaces. You may want to check out some crates with three doors if so.
3. The bottom tray is made of black-composite plastic material easy to wipe clean and slide out from under the short end of the door.
4. I like the double latch but some people may find it a little more work to open and close day-to-day.
5. If you buy a crate cover check out Cratewear Pet Dreams 3-Piece (which fits this model well but only work with the door on the short end).
6. For this price it's a good crate to highly consider because your goal is to have a sanctuary for your puppy (for time out and quiet-time) and to housebreak your dog and/or temperate from negative behavior (such as chewing furniture etc.)
I hope this review is helpful for you.
