| baby gate climbers Both of my little ones have learned to climb the baby gate. I think the obnoxious one taught my shy one. Any suggestions? I can't have them running the household while i am at work. I should have named the Seek and Distroy. |

| Rhett's momma posted this pen: http://cgi.ebay.com/PET-TENT-DOG-PUP...item35ac7b130c I think it would be great for the escape artists! I have the play yard and it has worked well or me. I like the ease of cleaning and portability. But if I had one that insisted on climbing no matter what, I would order this and use the top.

| Sissy was a baby gate climber. I found a gate with vertical slats and that solved the problem

| Lots of them learn that. I remember some years ago one of the ladies on here that was a breeder, too, filmed her babies going over the gate she had up. It was really funny to watch. They were very young, too. Thankfully, none of them got hurt. Some do! She had put up a camera so she could see how they were doing it. Well, she found out!

| Max did the same thing!!!He would jump and put his feet in the holes of the babygate to climb out!I zip tied a piece of clear plastic to the baby gate,so he couldn't put his feet in the holes and climb out.I got the clear plastic at Home Depot,it is actualy a 2x4 lighting lens,they only cost about 6 bucks,here is what I used....23.75 In. x 47.75 In. Prismatic Clear Polystyrene - 1A25001A at The Home DepotYou just need to cut it to the size of the gate.It cut's very easy,with a razor knife,or sharp scissor.I just drilled four holes in it and zip tied it to the baby gate. You can probably use plexi glass too,but I think this works great, and is very inexpensive!!!

| I have my dogs in a corralle. I actually got it for my kittens when they were small but now I use it for the dogs. The good thing about it is that you can add to it so as the dogs get bigger they have more room and the bars are vertical and it has a cover. |
