I find that the plastic ‘pet taxi’ brand works the best. Its very durable and more closed in to give the dog a den like feeling and more comfort. It makes them feel safe and not just restricted.

The success of housetraining isnt going to hinge on which crate you use.

I guess it really depends on the dog. But if you train them correctly either in the plastic or wire, they should be fine. My dog uses the plastic crate. And he feels comfortable in it. Takes his naps and chews his bone in it. Goes in and out all day. Good luck!

I like using plastic USDA-approved airlines kennels because they are transportable. Never tried wire crates though.

i think wired is better cause if you are keeping them in for the night then they may try to scratch or bite there way out if they are not used to being in one and with a wired they can see what is happening and also a wired is a lot more durable and is also great to clean.

It is really just a matter of preference. I have always used wire crates for my dogs. My dogs tend to be chewers and I’m always worried they can chew through the plastic crates. My dogs easily eat nylabones, and I can’t imagine spending money on a crate that my dog will eat.

To start puppy training, use a strong crate. The best choice is a wire crate with a lock. It should be big enough to let him stand up and turn around. But it should prevent him from moving around. A very big cage will hamper your house-breaking attempt. A crate of proper size will become his nest and he will not relieve himself there. They will attempt to hold it, provided you do not cage him in it. Do not leave a puppy below 8 weeks more than an hour in the crate. He will dirty it, after being harassed and tormented as much as he can.
