German Shepherd Kennels - Concerns

   See that the kennels are big enough for the dog and that there are no sharp edges that might hurt the dog when he is entering the kennels. Also keep the kennels securely locked when traveling by air or rail; you don't want your dog to wander out.

2. Behavioral Issues:

   Some dogs do not like to be confined in travel kennels and might resist your persuasion. See if you could transport him by any other means.
