### Get Your Dog's Space Set Up Properly
Bought a dog crate that's still in the box? **Those instructions are always terrible**. Panels everywhere, mysterious clips, and you're never quite sure if you've done it right. Let me sort it out.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** A properly assembled crate is crucial for safety. Loose panels or dodgy latches mean escapes or injuries. Worth getting it done right first time.

### Why Professional Assembly Matters
Dog crates look simple until you're surrounded by metal panels wondering which bit goes where. And if it's not secure, **your dog will find the weak spot**.

Latches get checked - they need to work smoothly but not be so loose your dog opens them. ### Step 3: Position & Prepare Crate goes in a sensible spot - not in direct sun, not blocking routes, somewhere your dog feels safe.

Good to Know
> 🐕 **Crate training tip:** Never use the crate as punishment. It should be your dog's safe space, not doggy jail. Make it comfortable with soft bedding and maybe a blanket over the top for den-like cosiness. **Size matters:** Your dog should be able to stand up, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Too big and they might toilet in one corner. Too small is just cruel. **Position guidelines:** - Away from draughts and radiators - Not in full sun (dogs overheat) - Somewhere they can see the family (not isolated) - Not blocking doorways or fire exits - Quiet corner is better than high-traffic area **Travel crates:** If it's for the car, it needs securing with straps or wedged in place. A loose crate in an accident becomes a dangerous projectile. **Multiple dogs?** Each dog needs their own crate if you're crate training. They're not designed for sharing - causes stress and fights.
Frequently Asked Questions about Dog crate setup in Exmouth
Why not just assemble it myself?
You absolutely can - most people do. But if you've bought a large crate or one of those tricky folding designs with about 47 different panels, it's genuinely annoying to assemble. Plus if it's not put together right, dogs can escape or injure themselves on loose parts.
Can you position it in the best spot in my room?
Yes - part of the setup is putting it somewhere sensible. Not in direct sunlight, not blocking doorways, not where everyone trips over it. I'll work with your space and advise on the best location for your dog's comfort.
Do I need to have already bought the crate?
Yes - I assemble crates you've purchased. If you haven't bought one yet and want advice on what size or type, happy to help, but this service is for assembly of crates you already have.
Can you set up the bedding and water bowl too?
Absolutely. I'll position bedding, attach water bowls if they clip to the side, and generally get it ready for your dog to use. Just have everything you want inside the crate ready when I arrive.
What about travel crates for cars?
Same service - I can assemble and fit travel crates into your car boot. Making sure they're secured properly so they don't slide around. Bring the car round and we'll get it sorted.
