So this CRATE has changed my life! Who knew I’m very pleased with my purchase and plan on making another for my bedroom. My new lab has very severe separation anxiety and I trained him in 4 days with LOTS of love and positive reinforcements. He sees his crate when I leave as a positive experience and knows there are treats to follow so he waits patiently with occasional bark here and there. When not in use my red heeler claims and naps all day. No more destroyed blinds and baseboards! He just needs stability, a routine,patience and to feel secure. Most important lots of love!
