| HELP ~ he jumped out! My 14 week old baby jumped out of his expen today! We were out for several hours and were greeted by our baby when we arrived home. He has been jumping when confined to the pen and we tell him down. He has been doing well ~~~ when we are home. Any suggestions??

| You must just have a 24 inch pen. get a taller one. And they do have lids for them. |

| This has happened with each of our dogs as well After they learn to get out we either crate them or confine them to a single room.

| We had a Graco baby playpen we used when Wrigley was a puppy and it worked fine. When we got Camden, she was able to climb up the side and scale down the other! She also greeted us when we came home! I would say an enclosed expen with a top as well!

| Sorry, but I don't have advice for you... my guy has greeted me at the door after he escaped from his CRATE 3 times, LOL! I guess we both need help with our little Houdini's

| I worry that mine will do that too. I pray that they never do, because I'm afraid they'll chew a cord or something. I started zig zaging the fence...I don't think they even try to jump out that way. Maybe you could put a couple of taller chairs in front of the pen. It might make it appear taller than it is and discourage them climbing out.

| We went to home depot & bought a sheet of press wood and laid it in top. Its too heavy for them to push on. You can measure and have them cut it if its too big. One sheet costs about 7.00 lots cheaper than buying something else , just an idea |

| Not sure what kind of ex-pen you have, but pet edge has these tops. I think petsmart might have one type too, and you might want to check amazon. PetEdge: MidWest Wire Mesh Top for Exercise Pens PetEdge: General Cage It'z A Breeze X-Pen Mesh Square Top
