| Seriously, my yorkie could escape from Alcatraz!!! OMG, i covered the ex-pen with heavy grade cardboard before i left. i come back a few hours later and she's out again!!! she's not opening the door, it's still closed (not to mention it would be impossible), but i cannot for the life of me figure out how she's getting out!!! the metal bars are too close together for her to slide through, WTHeezy?!? HOW is she accomplishing this?!? we need to get her a paying gig.... |

| You need to set up a camera to see how she is doing it!! My dad was watching Teddi when she was little and had her in his room with the door closed. When I went to pick her up at their house she greeted me at the door. I went down to his room and asked him if he was watching her and he said "yes, she is right here" and looked around and realized she wasn't there. I said she greeted me at the front door and he said "how, my room door was shut". We realized she would flatten out and squeeze under his bedroom door!! The space is bigger than most because they had carpet and pulled it up so it's just hardwood floors now so there is a little more space but we couldn't believe she could do that!!

| My little Rucker is a climber. He will climb xpens and gates. We bought him a "tent" with a covered top, and I came home today and he greeted me at the door. He had chewed through it! Nothing has kept him confined.

| OMG, these stories are so funny!! though i am sure it's just as unfunny to you as it is to me when i open the door and she's jumping around to greet me, like "mommy, mommy!!!! see!! i met you at the door!!!" ... maybe she's squeezing thru the bars like a little mouse.... i think i'm going to set up my webcam to film her.... |

| Dexter was a houdini as a pup he would use his xpen as a ladder then get to top and jump - I could not figure out how this 2lb dog was getting out of a big xpen until one day i came into the room and saw him jump off the top. Oh and we had to put up rabbit fencing on our gates as dex would run over to hang out with the rottweiller across the street and we could not get him to come out and they had a lock on their gate. Good thing she was nice and still a puppy Now that they are older the press their noses on the baby gate over and over until the magnet let's loose and then run up stairs - thank goodness it does not happen too much but one time we came back from our walk to see them running down the stairs to greet us and went wth how did they get out lolllll and saw the gate open these guys are good and very smart Last edited by dwerten; 05-10-2010 at 03:21 PM. |

| We had a poodle that could get out of anything we could rig up. I had babygates up at one point that had the vertical bars and I was 100% sure Armani could not fit through them until the day I watched him do it... I had taken him over and put him near a bar and his head was definitely too big to go through, so i was confident he would be confined... but I stood by with my jaw on the ground while he just twisted his body and shoved his head right through the bars like it was bendable. I really have no clue how he managed but he did... they say where there is a will, theres a way and Yorkies are not short in the will department.

| Just to prove Dora was born a crazy climber. Here's a pic of her at the breeders, before she even came home to me.

| She's such a little brat! I was watching the video you posted, and that's nothing like Dora. She doesn't hesitate at all. The very second I turn my back, she is up and out. My husband was standing in the same room the other night when she escaped (with the babygate on top of the xpen. She was up and out before he could even stop her. Determined is an understatement!!! Didn't you almost have a heartattack the first time you saw Dexter make that leap out of the xpen? That's why I've just given up. I'd rather she roam the house (it's puppy proof) than break a leg!

thankfully, i bought a crate that doesn't have a teeny front door, it has metal bars and hopefully a lock that works!!! i looked for one with a divider in walmart, but all i found was a small crate, so i guess i'll find something to shove in the back so she doesn't want to urinate in it.... | |

| typsy won't do it in front of me (she sleeps like a good girl in there at night), but when i go she destroys her pen first and then jumps out!!! i am totally concerned about her breaking a leg, they are like the size of my finger!!! i am just concerned about having her roam b/c she is not completely potty trained....
