IMHO - not knowing what you are actually using - as long as your puppy has enough room to circle (
without bumping the sides) it should be enough. I got a metal crate because of the lower price. Now, we bought a
AmazonBasics Double-Door Folding Metal Dog Crate for $24.85 (on Amazon) and use it when we visit the kids or stay in hotels. When we used the Amazon crate - we set it up - put Charlie near it and the wife and I say Good Boy and give him a treat as though he just used it! Yea, he didn't go but he used it within minutes afterwards.
