But how do you choose the perfect crate? And once you do, what size is right? Help is here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past 10 years, our family has bought quite a few dog crates for our puppies. By sharing our experiences through this round up of the best dogs crates that we\u2019ve found, we hope to help you narrow down your search.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-i-chose-the-dog-crates-on-this-list\">How I chose the dog crates on this list<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dog crates for Goldendoodles in this review are ones that we have purchased and used for over a year. And some of the Goldendoodle dog crates have gotten literally years of use.

While there are many benefits to using crates, there are two times when we\u2019ve really count on them for our puppers\u2014during puppyhood and when we are traveling. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, when we\u2019re traveling, the Petmate dog crate fits in our vehicle assembled. Or we can break it down for easy packing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, as you can see in the photo below, we placed a Snuggle Puppy in our Petmate puppy crate to help our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/10-week-old-goldendoodle\/\">10-week-old Goldendoodle<\/a> feel comfy on her first night home. The crate is portable, so we could move it from the living room to the bedroom if needed. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\" height=\"838\" data-attachment-id=\"14792\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/best-dog-crate-for-goldendoodle\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"838,838\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{\" aperture=\"\" data-image-title=\"goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate-300x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate.jpg\" alt=\"Goldendoodle puppy curled up sleeping in a dog crate next to a stuffed puppy toy\" class=\"wp-image-14792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate.jpg 838w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate-728x728.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/goldendoodle-puppy-sleeping-with-toy-in-dog-crate-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -

Once the connectors are unscrewed, the crate breaks down into three pieces\u2014the top, bottom, and door. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\" height=\"838\" data-attachment-id=\"14802\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/best-dog-crate-for-goldendoodle\/close-up-picture-dog-crate\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"838,838\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{\" aperture=\"\" data-image-title=\"close-up-picture-dog-crate\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-300x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate.jpg\" alt=\"Close up picture of the screws that hold a petmate dog crate together\" class=\"wp-image-14802\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate.jpg 838w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-728x728.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"http:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\" height=\"838\" data-attachment-id=\"14802\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/best-dog-crate-for-goldendoodle\/close-up-picture-dog-crate\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"838,838\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{\" aperture=\"\" data-image-title=\"close-up-picture-dog-crate\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-300x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Close up picture of the screws that hold a petmate dog crate together\" class=\"wp-image-14802 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate.jpg.webp 838w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-150x150.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-768x768.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-728x728.jpg.webp 728w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-480x480.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-320x320.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate-200x200.jpg.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"http:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/close-up-picture-dog-crate.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nice thing about the Petmate crates are that they come in various sizes and are light weight.

So when choosing a crate we suggest considering the following features:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enclosed<\/li>\n<li>Portable<\/li>\n<li>Ease of cleaning<\/li>\n<li>Durabilty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have found the Petmate crate meets all these standards: <\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Crate is enclosed, but offers sufficient ventilation.<\/li>\n<li>Crate breaks down easily for storage and is portable for travel.<\/li>\n<li>The plastic dog crate construction allows for easy cleaning and won\u2019t absorb odors.<\/li>\n<li>Built to last.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-do-you-need-a-dog-crate\">Why do you need a dog crate?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As much as we Goldendoodle enthusiasts would like to say \u201cwe can\u2019t, we have plans with our dog,\u201d there are occasions when we just can\u2019t have our besties by our sides.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For your dog\u2019s safety, he or she will need a puppy-proofed space for the times when you\u2019re headed to work or have to run errands.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Puppies are curious and like to chew on things as a way to explore the world, especially Goldendoodles. If curious little puppies are left out while no one is home, they find things to occupy their time\u2014like shoes, and rugs, and couch legs. A crate is a safe space. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-should-you-start-crate-training-your-goldendoodle-puppy\">When should you start crate training your Goldendoodle puppy?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/goldendoodle-potty-training\/\">potty training your Goldendoodle<\/a>, it will be in your puppy\u2019s best interest to help them love their crate. Start crate training as early as possible and always make it positive. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We started crate training the day our pups got home. Our first goal was using the crate at night. By placing the crate by our bed we found they stayed calm. We even placed a table beside our bed to put the crate on, so it was at our bed\u2019s height. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If our puppy started to fuss or whine, we would speak positively and try to soothe her with gentle words and sweet talk. Also, we put our fingers through the crate door to let her know she was ok, and we were there for her. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\" height=\"838\" data-attachment-id=\"14795\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/best-dog-crate-for-goldendoodle\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"838,838\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{\" aperture=\"\" data-image-title=\"puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-300x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open.jpg\" alt=\"Goldendoodle puppy sleeping in dog crate with the door open\" class=\"wp-image-14795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open.jpg 838w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-728x728.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"http:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open.jpg\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\" height=\"838\" data-attachment-id=\"14795\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/best-dog-crate-for-goldendoodle\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"838,838\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{\" aperture=\"\" data-image-title=\"puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-300x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Goldendoodle puppy sleeping in dog crate with the door open\" class=\"wp-image-14795 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open.jpg.webp 838w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-150x150.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-768x768.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-728x728.jpg.webp 728w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-480x480.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-320x320.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open-200x200.jpg.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"http:\/\/www.happygodoodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/puppy-in-dog-crate-with-door-open.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-8\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the day, we left the crate out where it was visible to our puppy in a room where we spend a lot of time. We left the door open so she could investigate it, and go in and out at her choosing. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We used lots of treats to make entering and exiting the crate a fun game. Little by little, as she was comfortable, we added in shutting the door\u2014first just holding the door, then moving the door, then almost closing it. (Always keeping it pawsitive, pawsitive, pawsitive, of course!)  <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once she mastered this, we closed the crate door for just a second, opened it, and rewarded her. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over time, we increased the length of time the door was closed by tiny increments. And we stayed close to the crate so she knew we were there. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, we then stepped away\u2014increasing the distance each time and giving rewards until we could leave the room. Step by step, she was crate trained!  <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, we used mealtime to make a positive association between her and the crate by feeding her in it with the door open. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but not least, NEVER force a puppy into the crate or use the crate for punishment. This will teach him or her that it\u2019s not a happy, cozy space. Crate training should always be a positive experience. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for stopping by HappyGoDoodle.com, our cozy place for Goldendoodle enthusiasts.
