My young Golden Retriever is already crate trained and I’m having to use it more than any dog I’ve had in the last 40 years as he is a terrific chewer. I’m taking my time introducing him to this new crate so he doesn’t start chewing on IT! I want him crate free eventually but when we travel, he may need to be crated and I hope it will be with this one.Very easy to set up and also to take apart!We purchased this crate because out of the blue or dog would NOT use her old travel crate. I train at a dog club, and there are times where she must be created.When it arrived, we set it up and began playing crate games. Did that for about 2 weeks. We went to traing and did it again. Like magic, she willingly created! Hallelujah! We continue to play crate games for about the next month and hopefully it will do the trick.I'll say the frame is exceptional. The controls for collapsing it are far superior to others.All in all, I'm very happy and have had a number of people at the club ask about our crate.We have two pugs and purchased the extra large size to fit both dogs and went on a two week road trip with them. The crate performed beyond expectations. It was great for hotel rooms. I would recommend this product to anyone.easy to "assemble". seems to be made of quality materials - thick fabric, solid frame, etc.. the bottom pad is adequate but could be thicker. i like the inside leash tie. 26" perfect size for my large 12# chiahuahua who seems to like it. twice the price of similar crates but seems worth for longer lasting materials and easy setup. we'll see how it holds up.I really wanted this crate to work! There are A LOT of great features, unfortunately it fails like most all soft crates. The mesh and zippers are simply no competition for a dog that doesn’t want to be in the crate.My pup escaped the first time through the side door by busting the zipper. (The two zippers were still side by side, the zipper just separated from itself). The second time the same thing happened but on the front door.Today, she managed to create the big holes seen in the picture without escaping! Not sure I want to risk it again to see what will happen next.Bummed that it didn’t work, especially for the price!Very well made, sturdy frame that is easily expanded and locks in place. Perfect for my little Yorkie.Great concept for a crate; love the collapsible feature but unfortunately, it did not contain our dog. She pushed through one of the zippered, mesh sides which ripped (pulled away from seams) and she was able to get out
