Good, better, best: Dog crates that are also great side tables

Gabrielle LaFrank
By

There’s no denying that pet parenthood comes with a lot, and we mean a lot, of changes in your home. Especially if you’re crate training your dog, you’ll need a dedicated space to belong to your pet — toys, food, bed, and all. But now, decorating for your dog is a whole lot cuter. Dog crate side tables are here to change the game.

With a dog crate table that has multiple functions, you’ll use (and save) space like never before. Even if you use the tabletop for decoration rather than storage, it’ll add a stylish flair to your bedroom or living room. Here are a few of our favorites:

This space-saving crate is fashioned with a rubberwood base and sturdy, antique-style mesh doors, so you know you’re getting both style and quality with your purchase.

All pet parents worry about their fur baby’s well-being -- that's normal! Knowing your pup is safe and content is a gift that keeps on giving, but finding ways to achieve this is a different story. Luckily, many families have found dog crate training to be a wonderful way to make this peace of mind a reality. Whether you’d like to give your dog a reassuring retreat from loud sounds and stress, or you want to leave him unsupervised for a while, trying crate training couldn’t hurt! But first things first: Is crate training right for you and your dog?

What is crate training? What purpose does it serve for a dog and their family?
When you crate train a dog, you teach him to associate his crate with safety and security. The hope is that the crate becomes the place to go when your pup feels overwhelmed or sleepy. A lot of owners who crate-train want their dog to sleep there at night, while others do so to reinforce potty training — or just for safety reasons. Sometimes you may need to take your dog with you in the car, and a crate will keep him confined and comfortable, which benefits you both.
Whatever the reason you’re considering crate training, it’s important to look at the whole picture before jumping into a big change like this. Crate training requires dedication and patience from you as well, so make sure you’re committed to the practice — and the upkeep — of this new behavior.
