good crate for puppy training?

Yes it is good. It does come with a divider so you can make the crate smaller or bigger

This crate is HUGE but there is an extra wire where you can make the crate half the size. It would be perfect for a puppy that is going to become very large.

We have two crates, both for small dogs. It would be too small for anything larger than a medium sized dog (a Cocker Spaniel).

I'd have to say probably not, depending on the temperment of the dog. Rottweilers being as large as they are, could probably pretty much destroy the crate just by getting a bit excited and moving around in it. That's just my opinion, but I think I might look for something a bit sturdier.

I'm sorry but I have since sold this crate as my small dog had outgrown it. Worked great for smaller puppies or pretty small dogs.

It won't help with extreme seperarion. The crate is strong, but your dog might be sad in there. My dog was too old to start crate training he went nuts in there, but I am saving crate for the next dog I get. The crate itself is awesome quality very strong, so your dog will be safe

At first we used disposable puppy training pads, but found that too be very costly (cage is 8 sq ft). Then I bought a stack of fleece of the appropriate size (at $1.97 a yard at Walmrt. Double layered). Every evening we replace the fleece by taking it outside, shaking it out, and putting it in a special basket. When the basket is full (about every 5-6 days), we launder the fleece.

This is a great roomy crate for larger dogs. However, I don't think you would want to repeatedly set it up and I don't believe that it would/could be done in under two minutes.

I would contact the company they are easy to get ahold of and responsive. Depending on the crate it would seem easy enough to do with zip ties...I have mine set up as long dog runs for my poms in the house with bed - grass area and feeding area. The other one is set up as a play area as they are babies - and they stay safe when I'm not watching.

I returned this and have nothing positive to say for meeting my needs, which were different from yours. I also have large Labs (now nine months old), and got two of the Giant versions. The crates were very flimsy and I though they wouldn't keep the dogs in for 30 seconds, if that. The ones I was shipped would not be suitable for outside use. If you dog is small, it might work for inside. Good luck.

I would definitely think so. I bought this for my pug puppy (who is roughly similar size to a Cairn) for the exact same reason as you and it has been absolutely perfect-- much larger than her crate and enough room for a bed, food and water bowl, wee wee pads and room to walk around/play. I usually line the bottom with wee wee pads. This comes up to about my waist when I'm standing, maybe a little higher. My dog is a big biter/scratcher, but she hasn't been able to claw her way out of this. This has been incredibly helpful while we are at work, and she really likes it. Best part is it is easy to set up and folds completely flat for travel/storage. I would recommend it.

I have two labs, one is two years old and and about 100lbs and my other one is expected to be larger than him. They are crated while we are at work. Both of them LOVE their kennels! Most times it is difficult to get them out! I would say yes you will be perfectly fine!

A bed that will fit the entire crate. The divider stays an inch or two off the floor of the crate, it allows room for a full sized bed. I had no trouble with either of my crates using their dividers on top of full sized beds. Just make sure the bed doesn't have a HUGE outer edge and you're fine.

The crate is very sturdy and sets up easily. I think they are spring assisted. I use it for my dog who is 35 lbs. with no issues. I am very happy with it.

Absolutely. This is an incredibly sturdy...but not overly so...crate!! It would be perfect for that.

I suppose that one could mount a food bowl as well as a water bowl in the crate but I wouldn't encourage it. We keep a stainless steel bowl of water mounted in ours. We treat the crate as her bedroom and have set times for feeding outside the crate; that way you can predict when your puppy needs to potty and start training for that.

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 have a 4.5 pounds Shih-tzu/Chihuahua and she is nine month old. I am trying to get a good size crate for her.
