Have a blessed day.

Hi Helga,
It will work for your Karate
class for sure.  I personally
have a regular wire or airline
crate for home use.  This is
for two reasons. 
1. I don't want to have to
haul the folding crate around,
like from work back home
again. 
2. The portable crate is made
of tent-like material and if
used daily would probably not
last over a year.  
The crate will move with your
dog, there's a funny story we
still tell at work about this.

I'm Deafblind and my dog is a
hearing dog as well as a
guide.  Several years ago, I
was working Gracy, a female
Border collie.  I put her in
the crate for a minute while I
helped a coworker move some
shelves.  And that's when the
fire alarm went off.  So here
comes Gracy, in the crate,
somehow walking along, inside
the crate and getting it to
move.  And the only thing my
coworkers could see was this
bright red box, moving itself
down the hall rocking back and
forth, and moving forward.
Nobody was sure what it was,
and they were trying to catch
the crate but she was speeding
right along.  Eventually, she
found me to alert me to the
fire alarm, and there were
about 4 people behind her,
trying to figure out what it
was in the red box. 
All this to say that if your
dog is really determined, it
will be able to move the
crate, lol.

great idea! Does this portable
crate, will also work at home?
I'm just wondering since I
don't have a guide dog yet,
but I'l be having one soon,
and since  I have my Karate
class, I was thinking in
putting my guide dog inside
the crate, but only for one
hour or so, or at least two
hours long. And the reason I'm
asking if it works at home as
well is because if some reason
I need to leave my guide dog
at home, I was thinking in
using the portable crate. Or
do  I have to buy two crates,
one portable and for home
only? Just wondering since I
want to plan this before I get
my first guide dog guys! I
will really apppreciate it  a
lot if you could give me some
feedback regarding this
matter. I look forward in
hearing from you soon. Thanks
so much and God bless!

laband this works well for
her.  A dog who is not crate
trained could quickly and
easily claw or chew their way
out of the crate, but since
your girl is already familiar
with one, it should work for
her!
