Crates
A crate provides a safe den for your Lab in his new home and time-out location away from other pets and children.
A Lab should not be left in a crate all day. If you need to be away all day, arrange for someone to come and play with and exercise your Lab for at least 30 minutes per visit.
Children must be taught to respect the crate. It is the dog's private area, not a playhouse.
Crates are a must with a puppy.
A Lab requires a crate size of 24" wide x 36" long x 27" high or larger.
