 i use one i got from wal mart it folds FLAT and  folds like a car sunshade ....it works well for me but Denver is totally crate trained with no seperation anxiety etc ..... i would reccomend it highly if you have a dog who is not a digger of crate doors etc.  it is made of nylon has no poles etc to assemble it you simply take the elsastic band off and  pull it apart  it is assembled in about 10 seconds I love mine  it is called  sporty pet pop open kennel and can be ordered online shippd to  wal mart for free or to you  . I paid  about 20 dollars when i discovered this  jewl about 5 years ago but they are a but more now  again if your dog behaves in a crate and you just need something to house them in  this is the ticket  it weighs about 1 pound and folds flat and circular about 12 x 12  i love mine ! you can e mail me off list with  questions at   carishields @yahoo.com

Subject: [nagdu] soft sided dog crates

Hi List, 
My parents and I do a fair amount of traveling, especially to Indiana to visit family.  Gilbert enjoys traveling, but my parents and I haven't enjoyed having to disassemble and reassemble his crate every time.  Occupaws said that Gilbert had been crate trained, and wanted him to sleep in the crate at night, and they provided me with two of the traditional metal crates with the plastic tray for the floor.  One was a big crate for home, and the other was smaller, and the smaller crate has been the one I use for traveling.  But even the small crate is difficult to assemble, and takes up a lot of room in the car.  The trainer did mention during training that there are soft crates we could get if we wanted to, and that they were very easy to travel with, but we just haven't gotten around to shopping for one.  But since I just returned from another trip with this crate, I really think it is time to invest in a soft crate to make the next trip easier. 
But before my parents and I go shopping for a crate, I was wondering if anyone on this list has any personal experience using soft sided crates and has any feedback as far as what brands of crates have worked well for you or brands to avoid, as well as how much these crates cost.  I have no idea what is out there as far as types of soft crates because we have always used metal ones, so any advice would be much appreciated.  Thank you.
