| x pen Which x pen do you like the best and where did you get it? I badly need to get one, but I don't want one that will fall over if they jump on the side of it, when they are in it. It will only be for in the house, so I can't anchor it down. |

| I have the Therapet X-pen from dog.com. They are on sale right now and shipping is only $5.99 until the end of the month. It works great and gets very good reviews. They also have a selection of plastic and soft pens to choose from.

| I have the super yard XT be careful where you get then from. I suggest going to Babies are us to look as they are twice as expensive in the dog stores, than in the baby store. |

| I have the IRIS Plastic Exercise / Containment Pet Pen for Dogs. I got it from Amazon and it works great. I purchased the 8 panel set since I have 3 little babies. They have plenty of room. Assembly is super easy. |

| I have a baby play pen also. I don't remember which one it is, but I got it with my AMEX points so it was free! I got it from Target so it was way cheaper than the doggy ones. It's really sturdy, Kaji would jump on the sides and it never fell over.

| Hubby got ours off the internet, it is a gold metal one that has 2 extension pieces if wanted. The panels on ours are 24" x 24". It came with 8 panels. We never had any problems with them jumping or climbing out but other members have said their littles managed to get out. The also have a 36" tall one.

| That seems pretty small. 8 of the panel's would only make a 4' square. Can you attach it to the front of a wire crate so there would be a little more room?

| I'm sure enjoying all the responses! I went and looked at baby play pens on ebay, and thought I found a couple of them to keep an eye on. But, now I'm wondering if'n they will be big enough for maybe 4 pups? or an adult that I don't want to get pregnant? or a male so he doesn't breed a female???? Would I be better off getting an x pen? I would need to get at least the 30" tall kind, because if it's on the floor, he would jump a 24" one easily. I just wish someone would say, "Barb, get the ____, and be done with it!" I'm just really getting confused with all the choices! |

| This is the exact one I have that I used with my 1 yr old yorkie boy. (12 in long, almost 14 in tall) Summer Infant Surround Sound Play Yard : Target For a while I was just using 4 panels because of the limited space and I mostly used to keep him safe from my roomie's super mean dog. I had his food, water, and reasonably sized bed in there and a few of his toys; that was his safe place when I wasn't home. I eventually used all 6 panels, and made a rectangle with it so I included a doggie tent instead of the bed so he could cuddle up and hide with his chew in there, a piddle pad, food, water and some toys. He still had plenty of room to walk and I knew he and his chews were safe. He never tried to jump, so that was never an issue for us. The only reason I stopped using it was because we moved in with my parents and he's the only dog here. No more needing to keep him safe away from a mean dog. Edited to add that this one is 30 inches tall.
