I agree - We also have a soft-sided pen like the picture - Gracie didnt' flip it but she tried so hard to get out that she caved one side in - fortunately she wasn't hurt but she could have been. Freaked me out. She's only 5 pounds at 1 year of age and this happened when she was about 6 months old. I'd go with something sturdy or a gate at the bathroom door. That's probably the safest method - and it's not cruel. The only other alternative would be a large crate - you know, not just a cozy one for sleeping but like one of those doggy apartments that have a sleeping side and a peeing side. Good luck
