The Crate Outdoors


By Kristen Lainsbury

You're out there on your deck, soaking up the sun, when suddenly, you look up to see puppy-dog eyes staring at you from behind the confines of a sliding-glass door. Then the whimpering starts. Soon, there will be paws on the glass, beckoning you to open the door and release your dog from the confines of the house.

It's a heart-wrenching scene, to be sure. But your dog was born to run. And your back yard isn't fenced-in. What's a puppy parent to do?

Get a great crate.

Hot dogs dig the Canine Corral Pet Pen, which is like a playpen for the canine set. Simply set it up on the lawn and let playtime begin. The mesh sides will make your dog will feel like she's part of the action, but the sturdy construction will ensure that there's no chance of escape (note: because there are gaps below some of the panels, this corral isn't suitable for small dogs).

The Courtyard Modular Steel Dog Kennel is portable, sturdy and rust-resistant, making it perfect for outdoor use. Its six-panel construction allows maximum visibility for your dog, and it also allows you to tailor the kennel to your space.

For traveling or short-term confinement, nothing beats the lightweight Portable Dog Crate, a soft-sided carrier with vented windows for great visibility and air circulation. The crate folds flat for storage, and the cover is machine-washable - talk about versatile.

No matter which crate you choose, they'll all solve the most pressing problem of all: those puppy-dog eyes.
