I'm just trying to get everything ready for when my little Riot comes home in a few weeks and had a question about crate sizes.

I was looking at these two sizes:

22"L x 13"W x 16"H
Life Stages Double Door Dog Crate 22 L x 13W x 16H

24"L x 18"W x 21"H
Life Stages Small Double Door Crate 24"L x 18"W x 21"H

I know for training purposes it needs to be fairly small until he learns to potty elsewhere, but the extra small just seems so tiny. They both come with dividers that can be used to make it smaller in the beginning...I'm just wondering what would be best---when they get older and fully house trained do they still prefer the smaller space or would there be any setbacks or backtracking if the divider was to be taken out making the crate bigger??
