My lil guy suffers from separation anxiety (small dog issues), a trainer suggested I crate him(gasp!). I’m NOT a crate person, I view them as lil prisons lol. Bentley has always had free reign... I purchased this pet crate, folded down the back wall, placed the plastic tray over it and covered it with a soft pad... I also purchased a privacy cover so he’d feel protected. The cover came with side and bottom cushions (also from Wayfair). As soon as I put this together he jumped right in! I was so surprised that I didn’t have to train him to like it, his doggy instincts kicked in and he immediately felt safe in it. According to my neighbors his anxiety has improved! I would definitely recommend this product.
