The comfort zone for both humans and Australian Terriers is approximately 33 percent of their standing height. To figure out how much room the Australian Terrier will need go get a tape measure and measure your Australian Terrier. Measure him standing straight up, sitting on his haunches and most importantly measure the full dimension of the Australian Terrier when he is in the most relaxed, comfortable, and stretched out position he can get into. Your Australian Terrier should be able to look out the front door while both standing up and sitting. So the Australian Terrier will not have to significantly lower his front shoulders or drag his stomach, make sure that entrance is high enough. Stand over the Australian Terrier and measure the breadth of the broadest point of the Australian Terrier’s shoulders.
