They are not being bad. They are panicking.

No dog breaks out. Period. The Impact High Anxiety Crate is the strongest, most secure crate ever built for dogs with a history of escaping.

My Rescued dog has high separation anxiety, he both escaped and chewed through the standard wire crates you get from petco. This led us on a journey to find a safer crate for him, and is how we found IMPACT. AND IT HAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!!

The data behind the calm

Across 349 dogs in our behavioral study with Fi, three anxiety indicators declined substantially over the first seven weeks of crate adoption. Here's exactly what was observed — and what it takes. The crate is the tool. The training is the work. The data shows it pays off. Improvement takes consistent effort from the owner — it isn't automatic.

-53% SCRATCHINGThe biggest drop of all three. Scratching fell 53% over seven weeks in a den built to settle nerves among dogs with elevated anxiety after switching to Impact.Fi behavioral study · 349 dogs · 7 weeks
-51% BARKINGQuieter in seven weeks. Across 349 anxious dogs, daily barking dropped 51% among dogs with elevated anxiety after switching to Impact.Fi behavioral study · 349 dogs · 7 weeks

You bought a wire crate for "just naptime." He bent it in a week.
Expectation vs. Reality

You bought a wire crate for "just naptime." He bent it in a week.

Wire crates are built for dogs who don't mind being confined. If yours claws, bites the bars, or bends the frame trying to get out, the crate isn't the problem — the material is. High Anxiety Crate is solid aluminum panel construction: nothing to bite through, nothing to bend.

Rescues don't need a crate. They need a room that feels safe.
Rescue & Anxiety Trauma

Rescues don't need a crate. They need a room that feels safe.

For a dog with a history — shelter time, past neglect, a bad crate experience — panic looks like destruction. The High Anxiety Crate's enclosed panel design and sound dampening are built to lower stimulation, not just contain the dog.

My pittie is super anxious and has serve separation anxiety. It's definitely worth the price and gives you peace of mind. She has chewed thru every crate we had.

The crate that fails costs more than the one that doesn't.
Expectation vs. Reality

The crate that fails costs more than the one that doesn't.

Cut paws, broken teeth from bar-biting, and repeat replacements are the actual cost of a crate that can't hold a determined dog. The High Anxiety Crate is the only model covered by our Lifetime Dog Damage Guarantee — if your dog damages it, we replace it.

Real owners, real dogs

Not polished. Just true.

Before you decide

The honest questions

This costs more than a wire crate. Why?

Because it's the last crate you'll buy for this dog. Aircraft-grade aluminum doesn't bend, rust, or need replacing every time he has a bad night.

Will it actually hold my dog?

It's built and tested against dogs who've already broken out of wire and plastic crates — German Shepherds, Malinois, Cane Corsos, XL Bullies. Backed by our 30-day escape-proof guarantee.

Is it too small / too big for my dog?

Sized for large and working breeds specifically — not a scaled-down version of a small-dog crate. Check the size guide before you order.

What if it doesn't work for us?

30-day return window, no restocking fee. We'd rather you tell us it didn't help than force a keep.

Still deciding?

How is this different from the Collapsible Crate?

The Collapsible Crate is built for portability and everyday use. The High Anxiety Crate trades some portability for maximum containment strength and sound dampening — it's the pick for dogs actively trying to escape or showing destructive anxiety behavior.

How long does shipping take?

Orders ship within 5-10 business days. You'll get tracking as soon as it leaves the warehouse.

Can I use my own bedding/pad inside?

Yes — any standard crate pad fits. We also offer a matching Orthopedic Crate Pad sized for this model.
