48 Inch Heavy Duty Dog Crate - Indestructible Large Dog Cage Kennel for High Anxiety Dogs | Escape Proof & Sturdy Lock Design | Extra Large Indoor Pet Crate with Double Doors & Removable Tray | Perfect for Travel, Training, and Home Security

Tip. If you don't want your dog on the grate, put the tray where the grate would be and the grate where the tray would be. That is how I have mine set up. I would NEVER have a dog on a grate. I don't understand why ANY manufacturer would do this but at least this one has this designed so that the pan exactly fits inside the cage.Ok. Next. I have an 85 pound purebred german shepherd. I weigh her. Her sire is a working police dog. She easily clears 6 foot fences. She pulled down a 6 foot fence... the entire row and 4x4s down in the ground... as a 6 mo old puppy. She dragged a 200lb statue ahe was tethered to while I working in the garden to the back bc I left her sight line for more than 5 minutes. She jumped through a closed window to attack someone she saw who was attacking me in the street. This dog is s.t.r.o.n.g. She has broken several kennels. The last one was a steel kennel but not this size. Oh, and ya, she is very well trained and is not locked up all the time. But there are times I need her locked up and when I do, I need to know that she will remain confined.Ok. Next order of biz. I agree with other owners. The bars are too wide apart. Again, the manufacturer REALLY needs to address this. My dog can and has pulled stuff into the cage. This can be dangerous. However, she has tried her best to dismantle the cage and bream out and has been unsuccessful.The door, cannot be opened from inside. It's sturdy as heck. I was skeptical.A couple of bars were not in pristine shape when this cage arrived, but I was desperate and figured she would ding it up anyhow, sooo...Ok. It was heavy as F&#@ and wow, it took some time to put together, but oh my, it was worth it. Also, trust me, put on the casters. And learn how to lock them. They DO work. But you have to lock all of them. Haha. Live and learn.If you have an active dog or a working dog like mine, buy this cage. I train dogs. I also board them. I have a client whose dog JUMPS into this cage everytime he comes over. It's his favorite place to nap. Go figure. My gsd loves. It stays cool too, bc it's high off the floor.Now, I'm talking to my bf to see how we can turn this into a piece of furniture since it has casters and is so heavy. Dogs like dens. I think we can put a nice top on it and even cover up a couple of sides and the dog won't even care. If we do, I'll get another for my easy going girl just to match this one. Lol
