| HELP!!! My yorkie AKA spider dog can crawl out of his pen! When my husband and I leave for work we leave little bruizer in his x pen. He is 10 weeks old and weighs 2 lbs! He can CRAWL UP THE PEN AND JUMP OUT! Now, I'm concerned for two reasons. One, I'm afraid he will hurt himself by jumping and climping! Two, I'm afraid he will get into something and hurt himself! He got into the trash today! Does anyone have any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else?? Thanks, Michelle |

| From the time lacy was a young puppy she could climb out of xpens and scale baby gates too. The only thing that would keep her contained was a wire crate since it was fully enclosed. They do make xpen covers too so maybe you can get one of those. The only other suggestion is an encousure or gate that only has vertical bars so they can't climb out

| Thank you for your suggestions! I'm going to look for a gate with vertical bars. I might just have to put him in our bathroom with the door shut tomorrow until we can get something else worked out for next week! He is just so darn smart! |

| My roommate is having the same problem with her pup. She uses every part of her body to get out. I have an xpen that is double the height of a regular xpen and she is going to try that because the horizontal bars are spaced further apart. So hopefully this will work.
