Is this going to be her area to be kept in her entire life while you are away from the house, or just a training tool and once she is trained, she will not be needing it anymore?
I ask, because while training, you will need to get a smaller crate. Because she must still only be a couple pounds right now and even the smallest crate will be to big and you will need to block it off to make it smaller. As she grows you can start removing the blocks to make for a bigger space, but you never want it bigger than her to lay down and turn around.
However, if you are going to use the crate to confine her while you are away from the home and you expect to practice this for her/your lifetime, then a 22" will be big enough for a 7 lbs dog and to put a pillow, toys and blankets to make this her nice safe haven. |
