Good, better, best: Dog crates that are also great side tables

There’s no denying that pet parenthood comes with a lot, and we mean a lot, of changes in your home. Especially if you’re crate training your dog, you’ll need a dedicated space to belong to your pet — toys, food, bed, and all. But now, decorating for your dog is a whole lot cuter. Dog crate side tables are here to change the game.

With a dog crate table that has multiple functions, you’ll use (and save) space like never before. Even if you use the tabletop for decoration rather than storage, it’ll add a stylish flair to your bedroom or living room. Here are a few of our favorites:

As pet parents, we’d like to think that we have every solution for behavior issues, like how to stop a dog from peeing in his crate. Your buddy can’t exactly tell you why he pees in the crate when you’re not home, though, and you can't always catch him in the act — so it can be tricky.
Luckily, with a keen eye and a few trial runs, you’ll figure out the problem in no time. You can always enlist your family, vet, or local doggie daycare to keep an eye out, too, but it’s up to you to make the necessary changes to change the behavior.
