Crate Training Two Dogs...

[BlamoHammer]

I have read more than I ever wanted to know about crate training a new puppy but I do have one question. I have two new puppies, should I get them separate crates or put them into one?

Also, if I do put them into one crate...how big should I get it? They are both Jack Russell Terriers

Separate crates. 100s should work, but my sister (who raises Fox Terriers) prefers 200s.

Yeah, separate crates. Though sometimes my two dogs will get in the same crate and just sort of keep each other company for a while.

Crates only have to be big enough for the dog/puppy to be able to turn aroudn and lay down. They don't need to be large. However, Why not give them extra room by buying a big one. Then if you ever need to use it once they are older and larger, ou won't have to go buy a bigger crate. I prefer the collapsing kind that can basically fold up when you are done. We have one for our Golden Retriever and it's really huge. But the front and back flip down into the crate and then rest collapse on top of it and we just stick i in the garage when not using it.
