I have the same play yard as AllDogBoots...I love it and so do my pups, its there safe place (den)...even tho all are potty trained now I still have it up with their beds in it and thats where they take their naps in the day time...and I still confine my pups Harley & Ivy in it when I have to leave the house, they are puppies still at 10 mos, I don't trust them yet as far as chewing goes LOL...Bella is the only one that gets full run of the house when we are not home, she is almost 3 yrs old so she has grown out of the chewing machine she use to be LOL.
But they are excellent for confining new pups and potty training, they have enough room for food/water/bed on one side and potty pad on the other. Cause a 12 week old puppy can't hold their potty any longer than 1-2 hours and at night you don't have to set your alarm every 2 hours to take them to potty, like you would have to if you had them in a crate...you get a full night sleep and they can potty when they need to. Traveling, they fold up flat, take up no storage space in the car or closet.
They come in a all sizes and color...I have 2 cause I have a 2 story home...a small 24x44 that I kept upstairs by my bed to confine them in before they graduated potty training to sleeping in the bed with us LOL. I now have that one put up and only use when we travel and go visiting...I also have a large 36x57, its huge...that I keep down stairs, to confine Harley & Ivy to when I have to go out.
I like the play yards better than the xpens cause the play yards have floors in them so if they do miss the potty pad its not on your floor or carpet, xpens don't have floors in them....play yards also have a top that you can zip up to keep those little climbers in...xpens don't...play yards give them that den feeling of a crate that dogs like but its large just like an xpen.
I have never seen them in any stores..you have to order them online I got mine off Ebay...I just went to the ebay site, typed in the search field...doggie xpen/play yards. |
