Crates for dogs
Crates can be great to treat some behaviour issues and also as a nice place for your dog to retreat to.

Helen
Sweet little Helen is a shy but affectionate girl who’s discovering the world for the very first time. Her world has been very small until now, but she’s learning that kind people, and cuddles are all pretty wonderful things.
Once she trusts you, Helen’s loving side shines through, she adores snuggling on laps, rolling over for tummy rubs, and giving the occasional nose kiss! She’s still easily spooked by new sights and sounds, so she’ll need a calm, patient home that can provide her with a quiet safe space to retreat to when she feels unsure.
Helen may be nervous, but with patience and love, you’ll see her blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion.
