Getting the wrong size crate can cause stress for both you and your dog. Too small and your dog feels trapped. Too big and it encourages accidents or unwanted behavior. The right crate should make your dog feel safe, not confined.
This clip comes from the full episode “How to Pick a Crate That Works for Both You and Your Dog” on The Pet Parent Hotline with host Amy Castro, MA, CSP, and professional dog trainer and behaviorist Ruth Hegarty of Creature Good Dog Training. Together they explain how to size your crate correctly, why placement matters, and how to make the crate a comfortable, calm space for your dog.
