Troubleshooting

The crate does not fit in my car.

Double-check the measurements of your car's trunk and compare them with the crate's dimensions. Ensure that you have adjusted the crate's depth correctly. If your threshold exceeds the maximum height, this crate might not be suitable for your car.

The door is difficult to open or close.

Make sure the crate is placed on a flat surface. Check the hinges and gas damping mechanism for any obstructions. Lubricate the hinges if needed. The crate's design focuses on a smooth opening and closing of the door.

The crate is noisy during travel.

Ensure all parts are securely fastened. Check if the crate is properly installed and that the tension bands are correctly used. Make sure the crate is not rattling against the car's interior.

My dog does not want to enter the crate.

Make the crate more inviting. Place familiar items like blankets, toys, and treats inside. Encourage your dog to explore the crate on their own. Practice positive reinforcement by rewarding them for entering the crate. Make sure the crate is the right size for your dog.
