I thought I found the perfect escape proof ex-pen. Freakin Houdini has manage to do it again. I've had this soft-sided mesh ex-pen now for about 8 months. I finally thought that I have found something that Brandi could not escape. I bragged about this ex-pen and how escape proof it was. I even recommended it to other YT members

I got home from work today and guess who was waiting for me? She was standing there with her little tail wagging a mile a minute, she was so proud of herself. And of course she left me a present.
Is there anything out there that my little Houdini can't escape? I've already tried a crate, she knows how to open it. Baby Gates....forget it, she will just climb over them. Don't want to stack them because then I would be to scare she would hurt herself. Once she knows how to escape, it takes her less than a minute to get out. I timed her. She's good

I am seriously thinking about letting her free roam or at least confining her to one room. She doesn't have separation anxiety all she does is sleep most of the day. The only reason I keep her in the expen is because it has been a struggle to train her to go on her potty pads. She just won't do it. She will only use them if she is confined to her ex-pen and she won't go anywhere near her ex-pen on her own to use the potty pads because she is afraid she will be confined. For the most part, she pottys outside. We have a potty schedule that we follow everyday around the same time. It's those hours I am at work is where the problem is. I live alone so there is no one there to take her out to potty during the day and my little one won't hold it until I get home. I don't free feed her so there is no food in her ex-pen but there is water. I know that having water in her ex-pen will cause her to go potty during the day but I am one of those pet owners that believes water should be available to them at all times.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
