I bought an exercise pen for my puppies to be in when I couldn't be watching them closely.

One of them (my daughter's monkey girl) climbed over it the very next morning after we brought them home. I switched it out with a baby gate. She climbed that the next day. I borrowed a baby playpen and she climbs out of that.

She is in a crate for a reason. The crate is big enough for a 50 lb dog and I keep the 2 puppies (4 lb each) in it. She will climb to the top of the crate and stick her nose out the corner of it and just hang out.

Some dogs need a crate. The boy puppy would be okay with an exercise pen and in the playpen.
