I have 1 of those downstairs in the living area for my girls to play and nap in and 1 in our bedroom where they sleep at night, i NEVER put any collars or harnasses on them while they in there, it gives me peace of mind while they in there SPECIALLY when Chanel is on duty and charging around :eek:

Since today she has found a way to PULL herself up on the couch!! :eek:

I use the same playpen - only bought mine at Target. Stormy & Kodah sleep in it at night. Stormy tends to roam & does not settle down at night until she is put into the playpen. They are never put in it during the day, only at night & I am right beside them. (Mine do not wear collars either.)

This is the one I have decided on. For those of you still looking for pens, check out PETEDGE because their prices are unbelievable. This pen is double the price at PETCO

I bought the same one, but Sachi dug the bottom up and kept eating the stuffing out of it; I had to put it away.

Alli- I think you need to get a ex-pen instead of a playpen because Belle is so hyper that she would topple that thing easily. She also is a chewer and I can see her annihilating the mesh sides. The ex-pen is cheaper and will fit in your room easier too! Make sure to take off Belle's collar!!!!!

I also got a baby playpen that folds up and has wheels. We took it camping this past weekend even and it was great.

Thank you!!!!

I'm still having a hard time training Mimi . She will pee most of the time on the pad if she's in the pen that I made smaller now about 2ftX4ft. But she poops near the pad and if I dont see the poop right away she will jump all over it since she's running around in that little space. Well I'm trying to train her by this book. I put the pen very big and she now has about a 6X8 ft space. I bought the xlarge pee pads 30"X36" she only pees on one corner so tomorrow I will remove one pad and let her go on that same spot. She didnt make a mess today since she kept away from the pee and poop. I will slowly drag the pen and open it like a fence and give her half of the family room to roam around. The whole idea is to get her to remember to go back to the pee pad. She knows where to pee when she's near that corner. But if she's on one end of the room she forgets and pees right in the middle of the room! Ive tried to add another pad at the other end but she wont use it ! Even with the housetraining drops :( Sorry this thread was about playpens and I ended up venting! I guess my answer is that I use the pens they sell in PetSmart. Ithink it cost me about $80+ The thing I like about it is that I can make it as small or as big as I want and it's tallest Ive seen.

Hi,
I got Bear's playpen from PetSmart. It's great..it's big enough for his bed..pee pad..food bowl..water bowl and toys...I have it set up in the dining room where we have hard wood floors, because its easier to clean up the "accidents". I keep him in it when I have to go run errands and also all night..He used to sleep with me until he starting peeing in the bed! When we first got it..he hated it, and cried every time we put him in it..Now I'll put him in about 10p.m..and he sleeps until about 7a.m..without making a sound! It's great!

I always let my babies run around my house. But when I go to my parents house with them I use a playpen my mom got just for them. My brother has 2 pitbulls they're really sweet dogs, I'm just scared when they're around my dogs, so I use that whenever they're around. It works really good. Oh by the way it's a playpen for babies not dogs.

I have the hard plastic one from Petsmart. It looks like hard plastic mesh. The reason I like it, is because the panels can be adjusted to fit the area that you want to put it in.

Laura I can't help you with a pen, but just wanted to say your babies are so cute.

Belleysmommy, I don't have any pitcures (I need a digital camera) But I did get the expen at Petsmart. The wading pool is from Walmart.
