Thanks for the advice, gang. Now I'm wishing I had bought a pen with a gate. Mine is jury rigged so that I can only get him out by LIFTING him out of it!

I did figure out how he climbed out and have since created a barrier. So far, so good...

We tried the plastic mesh with Laddy when he was only 12 weeks old. He can jump so high that by the time we got home he had bloodied the top of his little head on the top

so we do what Judy suggested with the sheet.

It takes a little bit of ingenuity to out fox climbers, but it can be done! There are also canvas type tops that you can buy that are specifically made to cover the tops of x-pens....$$$$ and a sheet that is well [inned works just as well!

Do you have a pic so I can have a visual?

Been thru this!! Our most recent pup Chewy was a climber, he got out of everything I put him in. I finally invested in a taller pen with vertical panels only. So now he cannot climb out at all! I even tried a liner on top of his pen and he STILL got out
