About Us
Who We Are
KennelHow is a practical guide to dog crates, kennels and the gear that goes with them. The site grew from a simple observation: most crate problems are not product problems, they are setup problems. A crate that is too large, a pad that bunches up, a latch that rattles loose or a dog that was never introduced slowly can turn a calm space into a nightly struggle. Our guidance is shaped by hands-on dog training experience, so every recommendation begins with how a real dog behaves inside the crate, not with a glossy specification sheet.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help dog owners pick the right crate or kennel the first time and fix the problems that come up afterward. That means clear sizing advice, honest notes on strengths and weak spots, and troubleshooting steps written in plain language. We want readers to leave a page knowing what to buy, how to set it up and what to do when something goes wrong, without guesswork or hype. Dogs are family, and the gear they sleep in, travel in and rest in deserves the same careful thought as any other safety decision in the home. We also try to respect your time and your budget by pointing out when a simple fix, such as moving a crate away from a drafty window or adding a divider, solves a problem without any new purchase at all.
Our Vision
We picture a web where crate advice is calm, safety-minded and genuinely useful. A dog should see its crate as a comfortable den, and an owner should feel confident that the setup is secure, ventilated and sized correctly. By explaining the reasons behind each choice, we hope to make good crate habits easier for first-time puppy owners and experienced handlers alike. Over time we want KennelHow to be the page people open when a crate problem appears at nine at night and they need a clear, trustworthy answer.
What You’ll Find on kennelhow.com
The site is organized around the questions dog owners actually ask. Product groups include Car & Truck Crates, Crate Accessories, Crate Cleaning & Care, Crate Covers, Crate Pads & Beds, Crate Replacement Parts, Dog Gates, Dog Houses, Furniture-Style Crates, and Heavy-Duty & Escape-Proof Crates. Within those groups, content falls into a few types:
- Roundups that compare several options for a specific need, such as a crate for a strong chewer or a travel carrier for a mid-size dog.
- Reviews that look closely at one product, including fit, construction, cleaning and how it holds up over time.
- Informational guides covering sizing, ventilation, placement and safe crate introduction.
- How-to articles with step-by-step fixes for barking, whining, slipping pads, stuck doors and lingering odors.
- Resources such as checklists and quick reference notes that make decisions easier.
Our Content Standards
Every article is written to help readers first. We favor specific, checkable details over vague praise, and we explain why a design may suit one dog but not another. Wording stays cautious, using terms like may, often and generally, because dogs differ and no crate is escape-proof for every animal. Product details such as dimensions, materials and availability can change, so readers should confirm current information before buying. Content is reviewed and updated when we find errors, when products change or when better advice becomes available. Independent opinions are never for sale, and affiliate links do not decide what gets recommended.
Most escape attempts trace back to an oversized crate or a latch that is too weak.
