If you have an impossible dog, please take the time to read this review. We were at the point of this crate or euthanasia as our sweet pup's one flaw is her extreme separation anxiety. We have tried everything from trazadone, CBD, muzzles, pad locks, and other metal crates. Our dog has fought through all of that, eaten through 2x6, dry wall, and tore carpet off of the floor trying to escape. She has broken teeth and claws in the process. We spent the money and purchased this kennel. It did take a long time to arrive (ordered it April 4th and it arrived May 22nd), but it literally saved our dog's life. She tried to break out the first time as hard as she could, but made zero progress. We have used it several times, and it works perfectly. We can finally leave our dog and go to the store in peace, knowing our home will not be destroyed and our dog has absolutely no way of hurting herself. The high-anxiety crate with the anxiety door additions is well worth your money and time if you have a dog that can break out of anything.

My 80 pound, 3 year old, German Shepherd has severe separation anxiety. He has destroyed garage doors, fences, kennels, drywall, doors, doorknobs, etc when I leave him. I got this crate as a last resort. He goes in it fairly willingly and cannot escape! I put pee pads under the edges in case he urinates while in it (which he did). He has plenty of room and it has great air flow, I have it in the air conditioned house and it stays cool inside the crate. I had two issues with assembly: one of the threaded holes at the handle will not catch the bolt and you have to climb inside the crate to put it together, luckily I had help to do that! Other than that it has been a great purchase so far and as you can see by the photos he has tried to escape! I purchased the 40 x 40 crate.
