I need a non-wired one. My dog is an escape artist. Where can I find this locally? I need heavy duty. TIA

If it's like our dog we had to zip tie the hinged parts and purchased one with a better latch.

Tractor Supply Company, PetSmart. Probably Petco as well.

Laundry basket and 25lb dumbbell on top.

You are welcome.

I looked around town also, no luck. Found one on Amazon that fit my needs.

I also have an escape artist.

I use the wire crate but add 3 metal binder clips to hold the door shut. Fortunately, thumbs are pretty much required to removed them.

How big of a dog? My sister might have one that fits your needs.

I had to do this also.

He's a 50lb tall dog.

Mine is a big dog also. She doesn't try to escape anymore but when she was younger (and still a big dog), the brat could bust out of a crate like nobody's business. I had a large wire crate. Once I started using zip ties in strategic locations on the crate, she couldn't escape. We rarely have to crate her now that she is older and I don't have to use zip ties anymore.

These guys are local but aren't cheap. Those are removable sheet sides on an all rod crate.

Do you have contact info?

Birddogbox dot com is where I got that.
