Does anyone use baby PlayYard for their Yorkie?? I thought about using one some of the time to help with the house training. Is that being to confined?

I have one I used when pixie had her lp surgery. My 3 girls thought it was fun to sleep in for awhile. I took it out in the front yard and put them in it while I cleaned out my car. I think it is good for short periods of confinement.

I got a baby playpen at a yardsale when I got Abby. She chewed thru it in two days- so I got an xpen figuring she was going to be hard to contain- very glad I did!(I got the 36' high white plastic one by isis)

I had a baby playpen I used when I first got Josie to keep Jack from her cause she was so small and to use to get them use to each other. Little did I know dynamite comes in small packages. She held her own to Jack! Lol

Have used the xpen also, still do. I bought the first one 6 pcs I think come to one. And then bought 4 more pcs to expand it. I used that sometimes around the pool to keep them away from the pool but to still be outside with us.

My pen isn't for babies but is a soft sided, zipper top ex-pen. I've used it numerous times when we're traveling, in hotel rooms, spending a day at our favorite swimming place on spring creek, and here at home to confine one that is sick, a foster that has had surgery, etc. It's great to have!

No, it is not too confining. Just don't depend on it to replace the housetraining that you need to do. They are a great place to keep them safe and confined when you are too busy to keep an eye on them. It's also much better than potty accidents all over the house.

I found some playpens online from Walmart for about $45. However, he loves to chew on things and I disnt even think about him chewing threw it! Where can I get an xpen and how much are they?

I found this one. It is better to have vertical bars rather than horizontal bars so they can't climb out and perhaps hurt or break a leg jumping down. Many do that!

I was thinking the same thing. I have two playpens from my kids. I was going to try having one upstairs in my bedroom.

Yeah, that's a good idea and put it by the bed.

My Ryder's bed is right next to mine!

I got a baby play yard for my little blind maltese. That is where she sleeps every night and stays if I have to leave during the day. I don't leave her out when we're not there because I'm afraid she willl get hurt. She seems to love it.

I got the plastic baby play yard for my little blind maltese. She sleeps in it every night and stays in it if I have to go somewhere. She is 2 yrs old now and seems to love it and has never chewed on it but she is not a chewer anyway. I don't leave her out when we are not right there because I'm afraid she will get hurt. Although she went missing the other day and I found her in my computer home up on the bed I put in there. I've got steps up to it but they are too short (the bed is pretty tall) but there McKenzie was all sacked out.
