dog crates 42 image
info
Have a male boxer 60 lb been destroying everything along with my fostered dog. I need a big crate to put him in. What would be the right size for him?
Answer
When you go to the pet store, they usually have a weight range for each crate, as well as names of breeds who normally fit in that size. My 65 pound lab uses a crate that is 42 inches long, 26 inches wide, and 28 inches high. I think this size is considered x-large. The next smallest size (large) is 36x28x24. You might be able to get away with the smaller size. My advice is to measure how long your dog is when lying down. That will tell you how long you need the crate to be.
And crate training is a fine practice. IT is not mean to the dog, when used correctly. It's not a substitute for obedience training, but it is the safest way to make sure your dog doesn't destroy things and hurt himself when you are not there.

How long can a dog hold their bladder?
HelpingHan
I'm trying to convince my parents to let us get a dog, but one of their concerns is that it would be alone in the house for about 7 and 1/2 hours during the week. Is this too long to ask the dog, possibly a lab or golden retriever, to hold their bladder, and would it be cruel to leave them alone for so long on the weekdays?
Answer
As a puppy YES it is too long but you can use a crate to contain the puppy where you have newspaper put down and its bedding in the back and if desperate the puppy will wee on thee paper,,that is your only answer.
Adult dogs varies from dog to dog but l can assure you l could leave my dogs for 18 hours straight and they would not wee in the house but than they are show dogs and obedience dogs but that does not matter they are adults not pups.so recommend to your parents the idea of the crate and if you are getting the above breed you need a 36in to 42 crate which is the fold down variety and nearly everyone uses them for house training pups or containing dogs in certain situations.
Good luck hope you get a puppy as you will get so much joy out of it
