Dog crates are useful for training and for providing a secure place to sleep. They are a must for growing puppies because they can keep the pup out of the trash, away from electrical cords, and many other things that can harm a puppy. A sturdy crate can be a way to safely transport a dog of any size, just as a cat carrier is a good way to transport a cat. An animal has a better chance of surviving a car crash if he or she has a carrier shell as an added layer of protection.
