The play pen I have, I have set up as u see in the picture which turns out to be 5 feet by 2 1/2 feet. Northgate makes it, heres a link to see a piture of it http://www.petco.com/product/5992/No...t-Yard-XT.aspx
U can set it up as a circle too. If she shreds the plastic ones they sell a frame that holds the pad down and she wont be able to pick at it or drag it. Whats great about this is u can put it in the kitchen, living room,wherever. You can set it up in the LR and leave the TV on for her too.That way she doesnt feel alone!
About her hyperness, it is because she is a puppy and because she is probably not getting enough exercise in the morning. If you can take her for a brisk walk for about 20 minutes everyday so she can let off some energy. Lulu goes nuts the first two hours out of her play pen but after all the exercise and running around she gets tired and only wants to relax and be right by me. Your puppy can be the puppy u want but u really need to put in time. It is exhausting the first four or fuive months but it is worth it cuz u will be both very happy. REMEMBER to use one of those cleaning agents like natures Miracle to clean the spots she goes on. U can mop the whole house with it just incase u think u missed a spot. Better to be ALL clean so she doesnt even smell a little bit of her urine and get tempted to go on that spot again! |
I got the exact same pen for my little bella and it worked great. She is now trained indoor and outdoor. I placed the pads on a boot tray that has a lip on it this way the pads do not soak through to the floor. It works great. Bella is now 4 1/2 and will usually hold it till I get home but if she cannot she has the option of her tray. I know with Bella I had to keep her in the pen till she was almost a year old as I tried to give her free reign of the house a couple of times and she started chewing my furniture so we nipped that in the bud. I also leave the radio or tv on for her while I am gone. She has access to the whole house now and we have not had any accidents since she was a baby.
As far as your dogs activity that is normal puppy activity, the first year of Bella's life she just about wore me out. But she is a little blessing. As far as the jumping on people you might want to work on that as it will continue if not corrected, trust me I know. Anyway good luck with your little one.
