Thought this was a well built crate until my granddaughters black lab  mix bent the bars to get out.  We call her Houdini. She does not like to be left alone.   She needs to try again after some good training . She does like to sleep in it, if the door is open.  Now Grandma is dog sitting, I think she likes that better! I will be calling the co. to try to get a new panel. This would be a nice crate if your dog doesn't have that issue or isn't so strong.
