When your dog struggles with separation anxiety, the stress isn't just on them - it's on you too. With symptoms like trembling, salivating, destructive behavior, and more, it's hard to leave them alone. Our new Separation Anxiety Crate provides a safe, secure haven for your dog, ensuring their protection and well-being while also safeguarding your home from destructive behaviors, offering peace of mind for both of you.
For dogs with separation anxiety, standard plastic or wire crates are not enough. When overwhelmed, they may resort to destructive behavior or attempt to escape, risking injury. Our ultra-durable, escape-proof, and chew-resistant Separation Anxiety Crates ensure their safety and your peace of mind.
When dogs experience anxiety, they often resort to destructive behaviors, putting your home at risk. From chewing furniture to damaging structures, the consequences can be significant. Our Separation Anxiety Dog Crate provides a safe haven, keeping your furry friend secure and preventing damage to your home.
Effective crate training is key to alleviating separation anxiety in dogs. By tapping into their natural instinct for den-like environments, our crate provides a safe and secure haven where your dog can find comfort and relief from anxious feelings.
This indestructible dog crate, made from aircraft-grade aluminum, features a welded frame, reinforced panels, and an escape-proof door. It's the safest choice for dogs with separation anxiety, and the only lightweight aluminum crate with a 5-star crash test rating from the Center for Pet Safety.

"Crate is not as heavy that I thought it would be . . . But, a good crate for my dog. . She can feel safe and secure in the crate . . . . Smallest size crate . . And the right size for her . . . . And Sturdy. . My dog is happy with it. . . . Was shipped in good time and came right to my door . ."
"Our dog needs to be crated when we leave and when we have guests. The wire crates made his anxiety worse and were dangerous. He is more relaxed in the den like atmosphere of this crate and I am more relaxed knowing he won't escape or injure himself. I was worried about the interior frame being a place for him to chew. But we are over a month in and he hasn't damaged anything on the crate. The first crate we ordered was damaged during shipping. The company had a wonderful small business feel and its customer service was excellent when we called about the damage. We had ordered the XL and realized it was way too big when it arrived. The company changed the size for us and sent a new crate when they reshipped. So easy. So polite. Definitely USA based which makes a difference in customer service. Would highly recommend."
"Excellent crate for my rather hyper working dog. She destroyed 2 Var-kennels previously. Not only is this crate secure, cool and, indestructible, she loves it. If my other PPD was a young fella, I would get him one, too. I highly recommend. I have GSDs. It’s the ultimate solution. Their sales staff is top of the line as well."
"Like it so far. Had a K9 Ballistics padded dog crate bed that fit in old crate and seemed like it would in this one as well but was just a little too big. Little disappointed on that count. My dog is starting to get used to it. Unsure of not being to see out as well. Removed front door panels so he had more visibility."
"I have a German shepherd that has severe separation anxiety. He was moving his cage around my house and chewing furniture up when we left him. This fort Knox cage solved our problem! He is a completely different dog when he gets in his chokey."
"#1 - Customer Service is AWESOME! Before I purchased Roman’s High Anxiety Crate, they answered ALL questions and addressed ALL concerns. #2 - The crate comes fully assembled, which was a big thing to me. I didn’t want to spend 4+ hours putting a crate together and hoping that all the parts were included. #3 - I live in Southern California, the company is located in Utah. Ordered my crate on Monday and received it on Wednesday, 2 days after I placed the order! #4 - This High Anxiety Crate is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The quality is awesome! Just looking at it you can see it’s extremely well made and they didn’t cut corners. It’s SOLID! NO CHEAP GARBAGE HERE! I ordered the 48” in Gray color and I’m 1,000% happy with it. My Cane Corso loves it too, but he doesn’t like the fact that he CANNOT escape out of it A BIG “Thank You” to EVERYONE at Rock Creek Crates! You guys ROCK!!!"
"Best dog kennel I’ve ever purchased — and I’ve had quite a few. If you have an escape artist dog, this is the crate for you. Can’t recommend enough!!"
"I have a 20 lb Scottish Terrier puppy that's 8 month old. All he wants to do is destroy everything. He literally chewed through the metal rung of a regular crate, somehow stripped out the pan even though it was locked, and walked around the room with the crate on his back. With this new crate, I can finally go to work and not have to worry about my puppy destroying my house. This was worth every dollar of the purchase. It is excellent quality and I expect to use it for years. Rock solid build quality. The door latch and 2 additional latches are extremely secure. Highly recommend!"
"My dog with separation anxiety broke through two cages before I found Rock Creek Crates. My dog not only can’t break out of the cage, but he seems overall more calm while he’s in it."
"I recently adopted a dog that struggles with pretty bad separation anxiety. She escaped out of a regular wire cage as soon as we got her, and her foster mom said she also escaped several times at her house before we got her. She scratched, cried, and chewed at the bars and we were afraid she would really hurt herself. We got our dog into training, which I'm sure helped a lot, but they and our vet recommended a separation anxiety crate like this to help her when she came home. We got the separation anxiety crate in blue, it's a beautiful color. It came to our house fully assembled. It's very well made and really worth the price we paid. It's also easy to clean and vacuum out the dog hair. Our dog came back from training and went from out of control, crying, scratching, and frantically trying to escape out of a wire crate to being content in her Rock Creek Crate. She only whines a little bit and then settles back down. I think she really feels safe and content in there. We were also able to mount a mini camera with a window mount lined up with one of the holes to be able to check on her and talk to her if need be when we are gone. I would highly recommend!"
