I have this
Ultimate Crate with Side Door-Elite K-9

No dog has escaped it. It also survived my truck being totaled while it was in the back (no dog inside)

Build your own. It's easy and will only set you back about $80. Plus it should be a temporary solution to a fixable problem.

I am thinking to purchase this crate after seeing many Shutzhund members using it

I am pretty handy, but I also am unsure how to do this myself without plans.... might you have some plans/diagrams/material list so I could copy? Would be awesome so I would KNOW I can fit two in my van!!!!

I don't have any plans- it's just a plywood box. I made it the same size as a standard large crate (42 x 28 x 31). There's really nothing special about it; you should easily be able to knock something out with just a bit of skill.

As to using it in your van- personally I wouldn't use a wood crate for such a purpose. It's NOT going to hold up in a crash and will offer your dog little protection. I mentioned it to the OP who was struggling with containment issues, just the same as I was with my foster. Instead of spending many hundreds of dollars on an aluminum crate, they could spend just a few dollars comparatively and correct the problem. Then move to a wire crate.
