I'm a new business owner who is attempting to develop a sound reducing dog crate. My girlfriend and I recently adopted a beautiful Boxer from a rescue organization and the "pet friendly" condo where we stay at became much less friendly on a few occasions when a neighbor complained of dog barking. We've done the training classes, exercise a lot, and she almost never barks. However, I learned that a few lapses during the day can cost us noise fines starting at $250 to upwards of $1000. I was willing to pay whatever I could for a crate that would provide a bit of a safety net for our Boxer's off-days. When I realized that there was no such product available, my business partner and I decided to develop a semi-soundproof dog crate for myself and other pet owners in similar situations. We'd love any ideas that you have or tips for proceeding with this idea. If you'd like, please visit our launching website at Serenity Dog Crate
