It took him about 2-3 weeks to get MY message...a gate means "stay". ha He and his sister will be 6 months old tomorrow...he doesn't even attempt to climb the gate even though he stands up against it wagging his tail! Hope this gives you an idea and hope.
Good luck

Thank you for the suggestion. For 1 day my son placed his crate in front of the gate & I was so happy thinking that was the solution. Well the 2nd day I came home and was in awww when the little boo, came charging at me! I was so in shock. Originally i thought that maybe one of my adult kids came over to visit and didnt put him back or didnt close it the right way. Until I put him back in the following morning & when my son went over to walk him he was out! Someone suggested that we get a gate with the straight up & down bars. So my son went and did that, and before he even stood up straight to look at it. Davinci had jumped it like he was a pony! lol Yesterday after my original post we got another gate that is much taller & my little fur baby stepped right thru one set of bars! Once he gets a little bigger he wont be able to fit, but I will say as a mother of 4 sons. Never have I felt more defeated. All i could do was smile & shake my head. lol
