      10 Dog Crates That Break The Mold

      10 Dog Crates That Break The Mold

      Crates can be a crucial part of a training plan for many dogs-- especially for puppies. They can also be indispensable for those who need to travel with a dog, either by car or air. But they've traditionally been clunky and woefully unattractive. That could be changing, however. We've found a handful of options for dog owners who are looking for more than the standard pet store crate can offer.

      Revol Dog Crate

      Launched by the company Diggs on Kickstarter in 2018 (with a hilarious video that's worth watching), the Revol is short for "revolution," because its creators hope to "revolutionize" the world of... dog crates. Learn more about the Revol in our recent School For The Dogs Podcast episode.

      Poplar & Plywood Side Table Crate

      Custommade in Denville, NJ, this sleek crate-cum-side-table is rare in that it is all wood, and is a great space-saver with a nice amount of openness and airflow.

      dog crate midcentury

      Mid-century Modern Pet Kennel

      Design meets functionality with this beautiful piece of furniture that will please both the dog and the humans in your home. Not suitable for large dogs, and probably not best for ones that have a sixth sense for the art of escaping locked spaces...

      Size: 36"w x 26"d x 19" h

      Via Etsy

      Amp Kennel

      Inspired by amps, this fun crate is easily moved around (thanks to its casters) and has a nice open grill that will let your dog feel part of his surroundings (and let you feel like you're part of the Rolling Stones). 

      Price: $1275 

      Size: 24"w x 24"d x 24" h

      Proline Pro 4 Condor Crate (Small)

      A crash-tested crate made to fit the back of an SUV, the Condor is made from high-grade aluminum, and can even be outfitted with a "crash bag"--a pad that acts as a kind of air bag for dog passengers.
