Transport Dog Crates – for Transportation and Training
Many people buy a portable dog crate or kennel as a way to transport their four legged friend in comfort and safety. What many of these dog owners don't realize is how well that same kennel can be used as a training tool. This is particularly true if you are starting out with a puppy.
While there is a misconception that crate training is somewhat cruel but nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact there are quite a few benefits to training your dog this way. Probably the most important is just getting your dog used to her new kennel.
If you plan on traveling with your dog a lot the first thing you need to do is make sure she is comfortable with the idea of being in a kennel. The last thing you want is for your dog to spend your travel time whimpering and whining because she is afraid of her crate. For this reason the crate should never be used as a place of punishment.
If your dog is properly crate trained she will come to view it as a home that offers safety and security. It is up to you, her owner to make it her own little refuge where she can go anytime she feels like it.
Selecting the proper sized crate is the first thing you must do. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes not to mention if you are starting with a puppy you need to take into consideration how big she'll be when full grown. There should be enough room for your dog to stand up, turn around, and stretch out when lying down.
Place the crate in the room she spends the most time in to get her used to it. Put a treat, a favorite toy, and some comfy blankets in the kennel and leave the door open. Chances are she'll find it on her own and go in to check it out. If you are casual about the process the easier it will be.
Once she is used to being in the kennel with the door open it is time to get her used to being in with the door closed. Using treats is a good way to do this. Place a few treats in the crate and when she enters shut the door gently. Stay close by while she enjoys her snack and wait a few minutes before opening the door and letting her out. You do not want to leave her in for to long the first few times because you do not want to create a stressful situation that leads to your dog not liking her crate.
Gradually increase the time your dog spends behind the closed door and before long she will be comfortable in her new home. This is doubly important when traveling because strange surroundings can be stressful for many dogs and their transport dog crate can be a place of refuge. If you do your crate training properly you'll have a happy dog that will be fun to travel with.

Crate for a full-grown Collie?
http://www.dog.com/item/select-triple-door-dog-crate/
Which size?
Thank you to anyone who gave a reasonable answer. I've actually found a crate built for mastiffs,Danes,etc.
To those of you who accuse me of cruelty-
Bite me. I'm a HUGE animal lover. This isn't for crating my dog all day long-It's for the car,okay?
So either bugger off and leave me be or answer this-
Which is better- ahving the dog fly through the windsheild or be confined with an uncomfortable seatbelt OR ride in a HUGE crate with a THICK bed and be safe and comfortable???
Hmm?
BITE ME.
By the way-
I'm not getting an adult-I just want one he can grow into. He's already potttytrained.
i would go for the largest or second to largest and to the people who said no to crates, they are a very good training tool and much safer than confining so rooms where there are hazards such as electrical cords and other objects that they could chew and possibly eat, its not like we put them in there all the time its when people are gone. i dont feel comfortable keeping my dog in the kitchen not to mention the one time i did try it he climbed over the gate while i took a shower, i would rather be safe than sorry just my opinion
