I have one girl, Gracie, that was a climber as a puppy. She would climb up the x-pen like it was a ladder, even the tall ones. Finally I figured out that if I hung a sheet along the top half of the x-pen she could not climb out. That worked great when she was a puppy. Now that she is grown she just leaps over gates. On occasions now, when I need to confine her to a certain area, I have to put up two gates, one on top of another.
A word of warning for those that have climbers, it can be dangerous. They can get a leg hung up in the wire when they are going over the top.
