Donating YT 10K Club Member | Reese and his littermates were placed in a pac n play for bedtime. I purchase a play pen since he's used to this. Bring him home....and within 4 days he learned how to climb out of it. Don't ask me how...I never saw him do it...only the wiggly puppy meeting me at the door.

| UMM yeah my Bandit is only 2.4 lbs and 4 months old and can clear the rails....he used to scale the netting and climb out but about 2 weeks ago he just started jumping straight out of it....just so nobody freaks out....its at the end of our bed so when he jumps out he's jumping onto the bed, not onto the floor. Anyways....every yorkie i've met can jump with the best of them. Oh we nicknamed Bandit: Monkey. lol fits him perfect. And that playpen is the exact same one that I have for Bandit.

| Jamie was in a baby playpen when he was a puppy and never got out. But when he started jumping high enough that I thought he could clear it, we moved on to a crate.

| WOW I almost bought a playpen for Scooter for during the day when I go back to school... good thing I read this! This doesn't happen with the ex-pens from pet stores does it? Maybe I can get one of them instead...

| I'm thinking your Lil Spaz ( to cute) will get out of there.. I tryed a playpen at first with my guys and they climbed the walls like a ladder. I would recommend a x-pen made for dogs....works well for mine.. |

| Some peoples monkeys can get out of anything that doesn't have a top on it. So just because you get the pet playpen doesn't mean your baby can't get out.

| Fortunately Hot Rod is too short to jump out of his expen and where his crate is, he can't climb on top to get out either. I've heard other yorkies have figure out how to get out.

| I think it depends if your dog seems to be really wanting out and figures out how to climb or jump out. The x pen is the same thing. I have 1 that can climb out of anything.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I'm pretty certain mine climbed...and didn't jump out. The play pen was as tall as a babygate. No one has ever gone over the babygate. It has slots...no where for any paws. Someone posted a video of hers escaping...it was hilarous.

My little Shadow Donating YT Member | Well, I must be lucky with Bella. I had the exact playpen.....& loved it. She never climbed/jumped out. She even @times wanted to get in....would go to the side & look up @me! I will tell ya that I started when she was just a puppy....so she got use to it. The only downside to this one: I wanted to be able to move from room to room easily & it is wider than my doorways....so I had to collapse it before moving which was a nuisance. So I ended up buying this: Pet Gear™ Home 'N Go Pet Pen - New Puppy Center - PetSmart I can't tell you how much I love this one! It's just as long, but not as wide, so it fits perfectly through the doorways. I also attached smooth casters to the bottom so that it would slide from room to room. It collapses to a very small diameter too. We took it recently on a trip, takes very little space......Love it! Bella loves it too!! You can find coupons online too for Petsmart! Good Luck!

| We have a playpen for Rowdy. He came home Friday...on Sat. left him in there while I was getting ready for his first vet appt. and I walked back in to find these big eyes looking at me like "help me, i'm stuck!" He had climb up on top of the kennel that's in the playpen and tried to jump out...luckily he didn't quite make it and he feel in between the side of the playpen and the kennel! He wasn't hurt, he just couldn't move! It was kinda of funny...I ran to get my hubby for him to see how smart the little guy is before i picked him up! I took the top off the kennel cab, and that fixed the problem for now! |

| Forgot to mention...if you do decide to go with a playpen, try local children's resale shops first. I bought mine for $22 in perfect condition. That way you won't be out 50-60 buck if it doesn't work! |

| Hmmmm.....in my opinion you would be better off getting a crate or something with full enclosure. It doesn't take them long to figure out how to climb out. It would be a waste of your money.......and dangerous for the pup.
