Crate training is highly recommended. It is both for the health and safety of the puppy to have a place of its' own to go to when not being directly supervised. As a member of the canine family such as foxes and wolves, it is natural for a dog to want a "den" to feel safe and secure in. Bull terriers love to have a blanket of their own in their crate.
Crate size is based upon the requirements of a full size dog being able to comfortably stand, turn around and lie down. Preferably made of heavy gauge wire with two sliding action security bolts. The wire crate allows the dog to see out in all directions, and for the owner to see in. With a hinged top, it is easy to clean out if the puppy makes a mess. I happen to have an extra large one that's probably for Great Danes but I love it cos it's big enough for my blanket, bowls and all my toys!! Thanks Dad!
