Crates and training tools

Post by Chow master »

Hello everyone

I need some help. I need to find cheep but good quality things for trianing. Most of all I Need a crate. Does anyone know where I can get one under 90$ because I need one but I need it cheep but good quality so the chowling doesn't. He's through it? And what is the best size for a chow when it's a adult? Also what are some good training tools to use when trianing a puppy chow? I hope you answer back soon!

Thanks for the help

I have one similar to this kennel (36L x 23W x 25H).

This was my late chow girl, Tippsy (she went between 40-45 lbs), and my mix girl, Dixie, in it. (sorry it's such a bad picture)

If you can't find a suitable crate, try a childs metal playpen, they are usually cheaper than the ones that state 'for dogs'.

Thanks. You can also usually find people selling crates on craigslist for cheap. That's where I'm trying to find a bigger one for Jasper (he's a little too tall for this one)

Thanks never thought of the child's playpen creative idea!!! And I will look on Craig's list and eBay and see what I can't find.

Thanks a ton
