I borrowed this crate today and I’m trying to persuade Millie that she could fit in for a 10 minute journey.... she isn’t convinced ? Trouble is being an air crate it has a small door then opens up larger inside....
Will she fit???!!!

Can you take the top off and get her used to going into the bottom half first?
Tbf it doesn't really look big enough, will she be able to stand up in the crate?

My Vari Kennel doesn't have cup holders ?

TBF I don’t think it is big enough.... she can go in and turn round etc but it’s a bit of a squeeze even for a short journey! I’ll use for Colin, Millie will have to have a medium sized one instead ?

Is that kind what it is? My mum couldn’t remember even what she got it for lol - it must have been to import not export as her name and address are written on it? No idea which dog though! Does it actually come apart? It looks like it might do
ETA - oh.... yeah..... just noticed it has Vari kennel written across the front ????

Why does Millie need to go in a crate, have I missed something?

Those wee knobs at the front and sides screw off...they're dead easy to take apart and assemble.

Sadly Millie has a few ways that she shows her anti social side, one of which is barking viciously at bicycles/motorbikes/other dogs/other people that we pass when she is in the back of the car! So I'm looking to put her in a covered crate for car journeys to remove the 'trigger' for her doing that
She absolutely loves her crate at home (which is a huge greyhound sized one) and has always gone into it as her 'safe space' so she likes the concept if I can get the correct size of crate for her

Got you! As I have several Millie types I have resorted to having a dog guard behind my front seats which is covered by a dark cloth and all the rear windows blacked out in my cars so the dogs cannot see out when in transit. It is like driving a van. A bit extreme but I could not bear the noise of several hounds suddenly in full cry just behind my head any longer.

I must admit it is really very tempting to do this - she has taught the two greyhound boys to bark at things too, and I’m not convinced they will stop doing it if she isn’t able to start them off...

Are you sure it is legal to drive after restricting your vision so much? It may well be but insurance companies do like to not to pay if they can see a get out clause.

Yes, it is. it is exactly like driving a van with no rear windows. It is only illegal if you do not have side mirrors.

Oops, I regularly drive down the M1 with six bales of shavings totally obscuring my vision out the back!
Buy a bigger car! I can’t lie, our car choices were based on dogs ? If I put down the seats, I can put the huge crate in.
