How do you keep a husky from breaking out of a plastic dog kennel?

We purchased a plastic dog kennel that snaps together on all four sides for potty training purposes. After feeling confident to come home and not have a mess all over my house for the first time since we got the little guy, he has discovered a way to break out. I believe he is pushing against the side till he can pop open the metal door. Any suggestions of how to prevent this would be greatly valued!!!

Be EXTREMELY careful with this.. more than one dog has accidentally gutted themselves with the crate door post and DIED by escaping from an airline kennel...

I'll try to find a link on this when I get home.

Suffice it to say - dogs have managed, thru force, to unlatch the top part of the door either by pulling in or bracing against the rear and pushing out... and then squished through the opening.... HOWEVER the post did horrific damage to the dog's abdomen on the way through. - to keep this from happening you can drill a small hole on the top and bottom of the crate door lip and zip tie the door shut as well as using the latches.

I've found wire crates to work better (and yes, I've augmented sides with zip ties as needed when I've had a dog clever enough to dismantle the crate).

Where can I find an extra large plastic dog kennel on wheels?

I am looking all over the internet looking for an extra large plastic dog kennel which can be taken on a airplane. The ideal one would have wheels built on.

Hm... don't know. Pet store or check craigslist or something to see if somebody has one. I'm sure you've already tried ebay
