Crates, Houses & Pens
When it comes to your dog's "home base," it’s all about creating a sense of security and boundaries. At porterscanineshop.com, we don't just sell cages; we sell dens where your dog can actually relax.
Crates & Kennels
A crate shouldn't be a punishment; it’s a bedroom. We focus on designs that prioritize airflow and visibility so your dog feels included, not isolated.
Collapsible Metal Crates: The gold standard for housebreaking. They are durable, easy to clean, and usually come with a divider panel so the crate can grow along with your puppy.
Heavy-Duty Travel Kennels: For the "escape artists" who can wiggle out of standard wires. these feature reinforced latches and thicker frames for maximum security.
Furniture-Style Crates: If you don't want a wire box in your living room, these double as end tables. They blend into your decor while giving your dog a cozy, wooden den.
Outdoor Houses
For dogs that spend time in the yard, a house is a weather-shield.
Insulated Plastic Houses: These are snap-together easy and won't rot or attract pests. Look for models with offset entries to protect your dog from direct wind and rain.
Classic Wooden Cottages: Naturally insulating and breathable. We recommend these for moderate climates where a bit of "porch space" lets your dog keep an eye on the yard while staying shaded.
Exercise Pens & Playpens
When you can’t watch them 1:1, a pen provides a safe "yes" space.
Modular Metal Pens: These can be configured into squares, rectangles, or octagons. They are the best tool for keeping a curious puppy away from your power cords and shoes.
Soft-Sided Pop-Up Pens: Lightweight and portable. These are a lifesaver for traveling or park days, giving your dog a contained space on the grass without the weight of a metal gate.
