Nick Logan Webboard User Reg: 04-24-2011 Posts: 380 Loc: Offline	I measured the space I planned out and I have 16 1/2 inches of space. here's the one we bought. It has a divider and i spaced it out to where I thought he could just get up and stand plus turn around. I'm talking in inches for a 5 month old pup. How much would you do? This is the one I bought: http://www.petco.com/product/13907/Midwest-Lifestages-Double-Door-Fold-And-Carry-Crates.aspx?CoreCat=certona-_-ProductList_Dog_2-_-Midwest%20Lifestages%20Double%20Door%20Fold%20%26%20Carry%20Crates-13907

Once you get him home put in the divider if you want to use it (I never did - I wanted my pup to have enough room to move around a bit) and then figure out what works for his size weight.

Nick Logan Webboard User Reg: 04-24-2011 Posts: 380 Loc: Offline	yeah we have a hyundai accent LOL. I bought a small pet one to get him home from the breeder. Best thing about petco is I can take it back. The lady that got them down told us many times it's OK to bring it back. I love the place now. I have a bigger one on my moms farm I have to look for soon so I can use it to take him to training.

I did this with my puppy, I stayed awake all night so that I could catch him trying to 'go' on the spot. I had a male so I used the back-end pick-up strategy and a 'no' to stop the peeing, took him outside, and praised him with my command words (Good, Outside). He was housetrained in 2 days or less, that way.
