We had Tessie in the laundry room with a baby gate when we first got her, she chewed on the plastic, then climb over it by using the bar that locks the gate. My husband broke the gate trying to make it fit tighter so he propped it up with 2-40lb containers. Tessie learned to move them to escape. We let her start living in the kitchen/sunroom so we could be with her and she would be safe. We used large suitcases to keep her confined. When we got Hobbes 6 weeks later, his breeder had metal gates with a walk thru opening (for us), they are tall enough and sections close enough so none of the dogs can get out or jump over. They can be adjusted to fit all size doors. It has been fantastic. Our cat can jump over it to get away from the dogs. You can buy them at Petsmart. |
