After eight weeks of crate-training trials with 10 dogs from puppies to giants, our best overall is the DenWell Double-Door Crate — sturdy, quiet, and sized right with a divider that grows with a puppy. The best crate is the one that matches your dog’s adult size, feels den-like (cover it), and is introduced positively. A crate should never be used for punishment or all-day confinement.
