Puppy jumping the gate!! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

omg, this is a tough one.... My Suzi has stood up before looking up at the gate, however, never has tried to jump over it.

She can jump on beds and couches no problem. Suzi is about 6lbs.

My thoughts exactly...I bought the highest gate they had at petsmart and she jumped it!! She could really get hurt. I am taking that one back. Today we used our old one (leaving out the garage door) and she did not jump! Yay!

LOL Sounds like Zoe

- she is the same weight and has climbed out of her expen, managed to crawl under the couch fromthe living to the dining rooms and now tries to climb the baby gate- I have to keep an eye on her she is soo fast- they are tiny but very persistent and smart!

I have jumpers as well, real moutain goats

, so when we leave they go inside their crates and this way I'm sure nothing happens to them while we are away. They don't always like that but what can I say, it's a dog's life

I had to double the gate...meaning one on top of the other so it is about 4 ft tall.....worse thing about this jumping is.....it could wreck her patellas......they luxate by injury I have been told.

Be careful

I know what you mean!! For her size, 8" at the shoulder, Kasey can jump higher than any puppy I've ever seen. We put up a 16" board across the doorway when we first got her home. Took her about 5 minutes for her to hook her front feet on the top and pull herself on over. She has now mastered stairs, the camper, lawn chairs, even the picnic table. The picnic table was a trip to the vet to get checked out. She climbs well, her dismount and landings need work.
We have the child gates now, but I believe it is just a matter of time before she clears them.

I always double gate and none of mine have been able to "scale the wall" lol since

I have a six months old morkie and Boy is he a jumper...? I have try so many gates and he is still able to jump over it. He can either walk thru, climb thru or jump over. The best solution is to put two gate one after another and double it. Hopefully that works.
