If you want to make it bigger, you can buy 2 of them and hook them together.


Thus far, Ricky has never scaled it....and he's scaled both of the babygates I have. Ironically, he won't go over the baby gates if I am not here. He will only jump over them when I am trying to keep away from me when I am doing something he shouldn't get into!! LOL!!

That's the kind of thing I have been looking for! They have never been crated and I definitely don't want to start doing that now. What kind is yours?

I am not sure what the brand is. My mom gave it to me. Its just the normal exercise pens like you see people use at dog shows for their puppies and/or their pets to use the bathroom. It seems like you'll always see them outside of RV's.

I've seen the exercise pens at both Petco and Petsmart. I believe they have the taller ones in their store, but i am not 100% sure. They may have them at walmart or target as well.



Here is the basic style of exercise pen that i am talking about....

Anyways...here is place that's selling a cover and/or mat underneath. If your pup could posibly get out, this would keep them in and they still have lots of room to roam.

Here's a big crate....

If you get a big crate, you can't add on...and on top of that, you'll have to clean out the potty out of the bottom tray. I would think the other one is easier when it comes to cleaning poo and pee.


I know the one store is in Australia so it wouldn't be economical to ship from there, but there's got to be similar stuff in the US. I like that you can buy panels and add onto the pen and I love the roof and floor idea!!

Thanks! yes I love the ones that you can add on to. I have never enclosed them in a crate because i just personally don't like them and neither do my girls. Hopefully I will be able to find one tall enough like the ones you put links too.

My little one doesn't like to be crated either. This ones a lot bigger so it's more like them being confined to a room, which he still doesn't like but he does do better there than in a crate.

the richell pen can go up to 5ft long and that's the medium! I think the large is over 6 feet long. It also has a wire top, a separate pee area (they walk through a door way)and plenty of room. It isn't cheap but really worth it.
you can get it on wayfair.com (that's where I got it) its reall nice looking too!
that pic is when it is made small. It has a bottom too so no mess on the carpet! I LLOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PEN!
we were at our wits end with Jess but this was a lifesaver. she now only goes in the potty side to go potty.
