| Ex Pen Height? I went shopping today and bought Tucker an Ex Pen. I bought the 30" hoping that he'll not learn to climb/jump out of it. I wish I could have gotten the 24" so that my human kids (esp. the youngest) would be able to easily reach in and grab his litter box when he goes poop since he thinks it is a toy/snack (I think toy mostly, since he doesn't really seem to be eating it now that I've started him on Deter - but still gross!!). Anyone have any luck keeping a Yorkie in a 24" Ex Pen or did I do the right thing by getting the 30"? I also bought him another bed, a couple of toys and a Lixit bottle (per recommendation here). I love shopping!!! Julie and Tucker |

| The 24" is working fine for us. The only caveat I would give is to not put anything near the sides that he can climb on because they are little mountain goats. |

| I have the 30" one right now. But within the last week, Bernie figured out how to jump out of it. I was going to order the 36" one but I changed my mind and figured I'd spend some extra money to get the 42". I hope that keeps him in!

| Venus climbed out of the small one! I don't think I could have kept her in a 6 foot one! |

| 24" works great for us... ...as do the litter box and lixit, by the way. My theory on fence height. If your Yorkie can climb 24 in. up a fence, what will keep it from going 30, 36, 42... If my dog were to climb out of her "x" I would prefer her to fall 24 " instead of more. Also, if they climb I would be hesitant to leave them in it unattended. If there leg got hung in the top as they came over I think it would be a pretty traumatic situation. |

| Yep, Princess learned how to climb out of the 24 inch one when she was like 6 months or something.. so now it just sits in the house.. no use for it now.. wish I hadn't spend the money, or spent more so she wouldn't be able to jump out.. man yorkies are such lil kangaroos!! |
