Can i stack my dog crates/kennels? Small home.?

Something'

They aren't designed to be stacked but they both are big. Both are inside dogs.

The story is that we had our beagle for 2 years and we were fine, but then a 3 month stray (the lab, Yes! She was a stray.) showed up on our yard and we kept her.

One is this one in MEDIUM. for my beagle that is 30 lbs

The other one is this one in the Largest size. For my 6 month lab/mix that is 50 lbs

If i cannot stack them does anyone have any suggestions? I rather work with what i have and not have to purchase stackable kennels.

Keep in mind my house is small. They only go into the kennels to sleep at night, and when we run errands that will take less than 4 hours.

Don't they're too unstable and the top one could fall off. I can only see this working if both were attached to the walls next to them. I.e. both are in a corner. The bottom one is bolted to the floor and both are bolted to the wall behind and to the side.

The floor can be skipped if its an apartment. To bolt them to the wall locate the studs in the walls. Run at least two bolts into both the rear and side wall for each crate. I.e. 8 total or 4 per crate. Each bolt goes into a wall stud. Each bolt has a fender washer inside the crate just under the bolt head. These bolts are 1/4 inch by 2" long minimum.

Pre drill with a 3/8's inch drill bit and use a wrench to screw in the bolts. Don't forget those fender washers. Any hardware store can sell you both items and the wrench as well as a stud finder.

If the rear wall does not have two studs you can use the wall board. Ask at the hardware store how to safely seat a bolt into a wall board. Special bolts are needed but still use the fender washers.

How to keep my Houdini German shepherd in a crate or kennel?

Apple Juic

Well we went out of town so she flipped her cage on it's side and got out of the other side that was on top. She has figured out how to kick in the back and walk over it and get out. She can get things around her cage and eat it. She actually really loves her crate, she is in there most of the day, but she doesn't like being locked in there when we leave sometimes, so hers is pretty messed up. This is frequent, just enough to have ruined her cage. Can you suggest a durable cage/kennel for large dogs for indoor use?
Well you should assume, as it makes an ass out of YOU. We have a HUGE back yard, and a 9 foot tall fence, which she can climb over and escapre. Did the houdini part clue you in at all? I was thinking of those kennels with the hard plastic walls or whatever with the "windows" in the? Her cage is shot to hell right now.

The Remington Pet Carrier is really good. I have an XL one. My dog use to flip it over when he was being crate trained, but he could never get out of it. He finally figured out that it was useless and is now very well behaved.
