Can someone recommend what size would be good for crate training Boston Terrier &lt;20 lbs? Thanks!

The size I got (30'' X 42") would be far too big, it would be like a bedroom, not a crate :-). My 89 lbs. lab even has plenty of room to turn around.

I have a 20# boston terrier. It was a little bit big on her but I don't think it would fit a 50 pound lab. Maybe you need an extra large, although it is kind of thin, maybe a sweater would be better. Hope this is helpful.

Yea, we kept our Cav in it until she was about 20 lbs. This is a great dog crate. We bought the same thing only the next size to accommodate her as she gets bigger.

It is like a mini-room for my 60 pd. puppy. The lock is secure yet simple to operate. Well ventilated with windows on all sides and tall enough for my dog to stand comfortably. I would not hesitate to recommend it. (Have not used it for airline travel-only as a home kennel) Update: My dog is now 88 pounds (german shepherd/border collie) and extremely muscular. He has not defeated the latch system. Plenty of room for him to stand and move within the crate. Fourteen months old and Kennel looks and functions just as it did on day one. I am purchasing a second one for my golden retriever puppy.

I have the medium size and it's 25" tall inside. I would strongly recommend the large size for your baby! My beagle has terrible separation anxiety! This was the only crate that he could not get out of. I DO put pins thru the locks so he cannot slide them over and get out. (He's very tricky!) Thank you ProSelect Empire for this secure crate!

I personally would recommendthe 22" collar. He is young and his neck is going to grow! Follow the directions that come with collar, and take extra links out,Add in as needed with puppy growth! Happy training!

My 7 pound Yorkies fits just right. I think a 20 pound dog would be better in the next size up. We are very happy with this item.

It depends what your purpose is in getting this crate. I have an 9 lb Pomeranian and he is crated during the day while I work, and I have one that is rather large for him 22" wide by about 24" tall. I keep this crate set up all the time. I have smaller crates for him also, but this size works well because it is sturdy enough. It was quick to set up using zip ties, so have a pack of zip ties on hand.

We'll I am not sure on the weight limits. My dog was a mix and I got her the smaller crate, 24 x 18 x 19. She is full grown now at 6-7 lbs. I'd say go to the next size up, 30 x 19 x 21 to be safe. You can also measure your dogs height and length to make sure they don't feel crowded inside the crate before you purchase the item.

My Katie is only 10 pounds and I bought the smaller crate. The medium could be big enough, but not sure. You can go to the Carlson website and get a more accurate interior size details. Depends on how long your dog will be crated, and how much room you want for moving around. I wish they made a larger size. Love how these crates are so well made.

I'd get the smallest size - I think that they're all the same height so the yorkie should be able see out, will have plenty of curl up room and will feel snug without being cramped. We had that size for our 12 pound chiauhua mix and it work well. We bought the medium for our 16 lb rat terrier and it is right for him, but with room for 5 or so more pounds of dog.

Definitely go with the large. I bought the large for my two Beagle/Terrier's (17 lbs & 19 lbs) and there's still room in there, it would work fine for 3 dogs of the size you have. Be aware. . . check the dimensions of the cage. The large cage WILL NOT fit thru a standard doorway, once put together. I knew this and was fine with it. If you put it into a back bedroom / spare room, it probably will not come out without taking it apart. It's very easy to put together, only requies an allen type wrench, which is included with the cage. Highly recommend this cage !

I like the crate and it seems to be as well constructed as any other I've seen. In terms of size, I have a Boxer that weighs about 50lbs. The crate is a good size for him but I don't believe it would be large enough for a dog which could run 100lbs and more. I'd definitely size up.

I would say this is a size that will work for you. My boxer/pit mix is 55 and very thick and she seems to fit comfortably with room to spare. Her normal crate is a bit bigger but this one is work great for us for just a weekend at a friends.

Even though he is heavy, I think 48x30 should be fine. Our Golden can stretch out in that size & she is long. I'd go more by his length than weight. Great crate!

I have an 8lb. dog. This crate is a bit big for her. Up to a 20lb. dog could comfortably use this crate. Nicely built crate. Like how the door can come off and be opened from the left or right.

I had a 80lb lab in my hound about and it was a good size, not too much room to move around, which you don't want. I also had a piece of plywood cut to place under the pad for extra support, which I would recommend.
