In this video, I’m comparing two of the most popular dog crates you can get: the Diggs Revol crate and a standard metal wire crate. I walk you through the key differences, but I also show you the real-life stuff that matters—how fast they set up, how annoying they are to break down, and what features actually make crate training easier (or harder). I’m also honest about the trade-offs: the Diggs Revol is more expensive and heavier, but it’s way more user-friendly and, yes, it looks a lot better in your home. What I love about the Revol is the diamond wire mesh (dogs are less likely to get their paws stuck), the garage-style door that makes it feel like a little den, and the latch design where there’s nothing on the inside for your dog to mess with. The standard wire crate is affordable and easy to find, but I’ll be real—it’s clunky, loud, and a pain to set up, and it’s easy to jam your fingers. I also share how I personally use crates (puppy sleep, car travel, and short management breaks) and why I’m not comfortable crating dogs for 6–8 hours every single day.
