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.

Probably a medium. Your dog should be able to stand up in the crate and have plenty of room to turn around. Depends a lot on the length & height of your puppy's parents. If you want to create a potty area and a sleeping area, then go with a large to use the divider to separate the two areas.

I have the large for my 50lbs. Siberian Husky and it works perfectly for her. This is honestly the best crate I've had for her.

We have the medium for our 8lb boston puppy, it's roomy enough for a full grown 15lb dog but not too big for her. It's great - get it!

Yes. I have a 55lb mixed breed and he does fine in this. Crates should not be too roomy, especially when traveling. Too much space makes them insecure, and uncomfortable with changes in motion. For crate training a dog is fine if he has to duck his head a little. Measure for height from the shoulders.

A smaller crate would work fine. My dog weighs in at 45 pounds and sometimes shares her bed with her 40 pound sister. so I would recommend a much smaller home for your pet.

I would recommend Xsmall for your size dog. I originally bought for Small for my dog, a 16lb Bischon, but they were a bit large for her, so I got the Xsmall and she is happier with those. And when my dog is happy, then I am happy!

It really depends on the size of the dog. I found this chart with guidelines online: https://apdt.com/pet-owners/crate-size/

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.

Hi - the medium bed is 34 Inches x 22 Inches and it ran true to size. So, for a 125 lb dog, I think you will need a larger bed. My dog is only 65 lbs and the medium is the perfect size for his crate. I will be getting the large (46 Inch x 28 Inch) as a real dog bed. You may want to measure the bed you have now before you order to be sure it will be roomy enough for your dog. Good luck!

I would suggest the 5", even if its a bit big. My dog is 19# and rocks the 5". The smaller one wont hold many treats and will be that more likely to get lost under furniture.

I would order a smaller size. Even if the bed rolled up on the sides of your crate I don't think it would lay right. The bed is thick doesn't really have much give to it. Great bed though!!!!

I would get the Medium size. We have a 30+lb Beagle and the medium size is just perfect for his paws. It works really well!

Hope this comment isn't too late. We have a small female Sibe and she could probably fit in the medium crate fine, but we use the large for her. We house sit for a friend with a pair of large Sibes and both fit in the large crates ok. With my wolfdog, we use the XL crate and he's got plenty of room. He's a mix of Timber and Sibe. To give you an idea, the Large is a bit snug for a Malamute and Samoyed but the XL is perfect.

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.

Good Sunday morning! We have the XL model and can accommodate two dogs. One is a 70 lb. Olde English Bulldogge and the other is a Boston Terrier mix about 38 lbs. Having four wheels is key as the weight shift within is inevitable as they move around so won't tip over. Most of the upper part of the carrier is mesh. The top unzips and so does the whole front end for ease of entry/exit. The carrier sits about 5-6" off the ground so not too difficult to help an ailing dog inside. Our Bulldogge is invalid and frequently needs a "boost" to get inside and BOTH dogs love it! We put a cushion inside to lay on as the floor is firm. Would strongly recommend this carrier.

I have a 14 lb boston terrier, he likes it but it is a little big for him. He loves the gounut ball and it's just right for him! I have say they are virtually impossible to destruct!
