How to Fold & Collapse a Nylon Dog Crate

Dog crates are a useful resource to keep your dog safe and sound when you cannot attend to them, both at home and on the road. The crate keeps your dog safe in the car and away from your possessions when you need to leave the house for a few hours. Nylon crates are easy to store and transport because they fold into themselves.
