I dare her to climb out of this! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Here is a link to the ex pen I ordered for my little Holly, who seems to think she is a cat and can climb her way out of, or into, anything! I'll let you know how it works out. I should have it by Friday.

How high is that?
If it's under 34" I bet she can. Buddy would have no problem getting over
that!

It seems awfully small. No room for water dish, bed and pee pad and much more expensive than the metal ex pens. Couldnt you just put a sheet over the top of the metal one? I did that when Zada was a baby and it stopped her from trying to climb out.

Simon's a climber too

I wish you luck~

SANDYSAND · 12-19-2007, 05:06 PM

Good Luck

I think she might be able to, Koda is a jumper and she had no problem with that height

I wish you the best of luck....Barney is not a climber....He is a jumper..

He has cleared the playpen...The baby gate....The ottoman...Never touches them...Just clears it....

It is about 3 foot square, should be just big enough for the amount of time she spends in there. The ones we have now are either 3 or 4 foot square. I set them up to be about 2 x 6'. I have watched her. She climbs the metal ex pens. She cannot jump that far, at least not yet. With the plastic, there is no place to get a foot hold to climb out.

I used to board Yorkies..a serious climber can jump up in the corner, hook their two front legs over the edge and pull themselves out...if she is not a jumper you will be okay...make sure the bedding is very flat..a bed with sides will be used to stand on and a jumper can get out...

Thank you! I will remove the crate from her pen and just keep her bed in there. It is a flat pillow bed.

my chorkie has been able to jump out of anything that lower then my kitchen counters since she was 4 months old. we call her leapin lola

littlewhip · 12-20-2007, 03:49 PM

It look very nice

good luck with it

Gracie2006 · 12-20-2007, 03:59 PM

The new pen is not yet here. I put the soji screen on top of her ex pen and blocked off any potential gaps. I left for a few hours, came back and darn it. She still got out! I can't figure out where! or how! She must have a star trek transporter "Beam me out, Scotty".

From now on, it is locked up in the crate, at least until the new expen arrives.

Gracie2006 · 12-20-2007, 08:39 PM

The pen arrived. Super easy to assemble. It is just big enough. Poor little Holly is very mad because she can no longer climb out, at least not yet. I'm crossing my fingers, toes, paws and anything else I can find to cross!

T Doll · 12-20-2007, 08:44 PM

I totally need one of these!! Mocha is quite the little escape artist, too
