what sort of travelling? Carrying? Car? Train? Plane?

By car, we have an estate car but they are unhappy travellers, not sick but whine and bark continuously, they have their harnesses fastened security, A dog trainer we used suggested a crate might help them to settle.

where in the car will they travel? do you want crates that will be able to be fixed in place?

If they are unsettled travelling I wonder if a material crate would not be strong enough if they chew or scratch as the mesh and zip areas are not particularly strong. I think I would choose a lightweight metal crate and cover it while travelling. If you think they would be fine then there are several makes, some are easier to put up than others but if it is going to be left up in the car its not such a problem. I would recommend Splendid Pets, but if you google Soft Dog Crates you will find a large range of sizes and prices.
