How to set up a dog crate for your puppy

With a new puppy about to enter our lives and after reading a A LOT about training, we decided to invest in a crate.

We went for the Ellie-Bo 30in Dog Crate from Amazon for £45 as reviewers lauded it for being lightweight, easy to construct and big enough for when our baby boy Bryn grows into a bigger bundle of Cockapoo curls.

It comes flat-packed in a giant box and - best news of all! - the instructions also come as pictures. Phew!

It took about ten minutes to do without any assistance. Selling points are the two folding doors which open on the front and the side and the fact it collapses for easy storage.

The only snag? Look out for the safety latch at the very bottom of the crate. It's there to secure it in transit and confused me for a few seconds. But after I found it and unclipped it, the crate unfolded without any hassle at all.

You can watch a video of how we assembled the crate above. Find the crate here.
