lol Like that short plastic wall will stop a sheepie puppy.  Ryleigh would have it down or be over it in seconds.  |
| I saw that at Petco the other day. My girls took one look at it, and then pointed to a different, much larger one and said "Mom, I think this one here might be more what we need." Speaking of Pet Yards, anyone care to talk to me a bit about them? I'm assuming as a puppy my girl will be better off in her crate - is a pet yard something I could consider once she's a bit older, and potty trained? |
| LOL - that's Bebe, Chewie's aunt! She's the one looking at the toy vendor booth in my Pet Expo photos. Her human mom Gale is a commercial photographer (does ads, etc) and Bebe has been a dog model for years. She is retired now, as she is tired of it. And that would actually keep my dogs (the OES anyway, and basset of course...) in. While Chewie can jump like crazy in agility and other sports, he is totally respectful of gates and barriers. Bond seems to be the same too - as I have a short ex-pen barricading our porch shelves and he stays out of it.  |
| Crate training is the way to go. You might want to invest in a gate or two so you can keep them out of certain rooms/areas. We have two Sheepies crate trained and have two gates; one so the dogs don't go down to the basement and the other to keep them out of the hallway that leads to the bedrooms. That gate is really nice too. It's got a latch that locks and a smaller door at the bottom that is always open for the cats. Caitlyn was able to get through it for about the first three months we had her. Vance |
| Ooooh, any idea what brand that gate is Vance? I have three cats who are NOT going to be amused when I gate off half their domain. Not that they COULDN'T jump the gates - they're just too LAZY to. |
| This is the model we have and may be getting a second soon... http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10957722&lmdn=Dog+Auto+Travel+Gates+and+Door Vance |
| Excellent! Thank you! I need to pick up at least two of them. I'll run by PetSmart and see if they've got them in stock! |
| Yes the gates are very useful here. As Dawn said they are very respectful of the barrier--I rarely even secure the gates, I just lean them against the door frame. Even Murphy my little 14 week old pup never even tries to get through when they are up- |
| A lot of people in Small Animal Rescue buy those for their guinea pigs. |
We have this pen for Oscar, but we don't set it up quite the way they do in the photo.  The sections come apart, so we have it broken into two different gates. I like this one because it allows for flexibility. We take it when we travel with Oscar, so we can gate him appropriately wherever we stay. Even though Oscar is perfectly housebroken, and hasn't chewed a thing since he was a puppy, we still gate him in the kitchen area at home when we leave. Deaf dogs can become anxious when on their own, wandering the house incessantly, looking for their humans. Some dogs will literally roam for hours.  Oscar knows that when the gates are up, we are not home, and he just falls asleep. He might be fine without them, but it's part of our routine, and it works, so why chance it? We, too, just lean them against the wall. Oscar could breathe on them and knock them over, but he views them as a barrier not to be crossed - lucky for us!  Also, it allows us to set our house alarm, with motion detectors activated, and not worry that he will set it off. Laurie and Oscar |
