It looks ridiculous, but it keeps her from escaping. If you live in an apartment you also have to think about barking. Some yorkies get separation anxiety and will bark a lot when you leave. So you want to get her used to you leaving early on.

I never thought about the climbing issue....lol....(Prison Break). I'll have to run out to go to the gym or run errands or even work a part-time summer job, so the puppy will get used to me not being home ALL day. But I will place an old t-shirt with my scent in the playpen, so they won't be too sad when I'm gone. Great advice though, thank you.
