Here's picture of the spot I made, and his clothing is hanging from a double towel rod, with folded clothing in a plastic storage bin. He's a boy, he doesn't need much space!

That is great! I never thought of using a towel rod. Great idea!

It looks like it would hold more clothes than the doggie wardrobes and is a reasonable price.

That is great! I'll have to look into those closetmaid components - it looks huge!

Nancy,
I am glad you reposted this! I wanted to ask you if you used a grooming arm? If not then how do you keep your Joey from not jumping off the table? And is it hard not to hve both hands free when you groom?

Actually my grooming arm is a little dryer stand that I didn't like that much. I've been using it to train him to stand while I'm brushing him, otherwise he lies down, and it's harder to brush. It' s working, he will stand now, while being brushed, even with out using it.

I'm right there in front of him, there is no way he could jump. He's trained pretty well to not jump, even from the couch or bed; if there are no steps; he knows to stay. This grooming area is for just daily grooming – topknots and brushing, things of that nature. For his weekly grooming and hair trims, I still take him to the kitchen, and he gets his bath in the kitchen sink. I'm usually holding him with one hand, while I'm trimming him with the other. I never leave him on the counter unsupervised.

I was just curious how it works out . Because I really liked your setup! And it is so much more cost effective . I know you would never leave Joey unsupervised. I was just wondering how hard it would be to groom without the grooming arm.
Joey must be a super great Yorkie, and very patient. I'd be scared to death that Suzi would try to get away from me on a table, then hurt herself. She does this when I sit on the couch just to for brushing.

I have a regular full size armoir that has drawers on one side and hanging on the other. It works great- I don't have to bend over and everything is right in front of you. You can usually pick these up at used furniture stores that are easy to paint and just the right size

Koda & Kacy share another one but I have the winter clothes there...

I have this one: PetEdge: Pet Studio Soho Wardrobes I have to put it together tho...been sitting in the box for awhile. Mimi & Momo's clothes are in clear storage bags (like the ones that come w/blankets) in my closet.

I bought this a little while back. We have a his and her side and in the middle we have 4 pull out cubbies that have all their toys inside. It works great. They sell them at Target and you can design it how you want because they are each designed separately. Then I added the closet pole to hang clothes. They come in two colors the dark and a lighter color.

Also it has enough room to have two poles inside I just have yet to do it.

NICE! Where do you get the closet pole? Do you cut it yourself?

i like this closet Sleep 'N Store Dog Wardrobe
but the price is a little to much .

[mimimomo]

They have the same one here for $99.99: PetEdge: Pet Studio Sleep 'N Store

I bought it at Home Depot and the sales person cut it to exact measurements. It was only a few bucks with the pole and the things you hang it off of.

I love it cause it matches your house and doesn't look so much like a doggie closet.

Thanks for the info! I really like your idea...going to Target later to check it out...
