I have changed Buddy's play pen twice because he jumps out if them. I step out for approximately an hour leaving him in his playpen with his pee pad, his bed, a blanket, his favorite toy, and he still jumps out. I make sure all doors are closed, and
It sounds like Buddy needs a kennel or a playpen with a top on it unfortunately. Now that he has figured out he can jump out he is likely to continue this behavior because it is rewarding to him. My own puppy discovered he could climb his play pen at a young age! I purchased some thick plastic garden fencing and used it to put a "roof" on his playpen to prevent this. Another option would be a large crate if you want a bigger area for him to play in. They also make very tall playpens for larger dogs, but be sure that Buddy isn't actually climbing the side of the pen before you get one of these!

I keep my dog locked in her play pen for most of the time. The reason for this is because she eats EVERYTHING. Anything she can get her paws on she will eat unless it’s too large for her to swallow and it scares me for a # of reasons. Her “crate” is
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! On the contrary, I actually think that what you are doing is the healthiest choice for Snowball. There are some dogs that, for no reason, eat EVERYTHING. (This has nothing to do with you as an owner by the way.) As an emergency room vet, I see "repeat offenders" all the time and unfortunately, it takes two or three emergency surgeries for the owners to figure out that they need to keep their pet in a "dog-proofed" area. But you are being VERY smart in my opinion in keeping her in a safe place when you cannot directly supervise her. This is exactly what I would recommend. As long as Snowball is a healthy weight, has play sessions with you once or twice a day, and gets walks or supervised time outside every day, I have absolutely no problem with this scenario.

We are getting a 6 week old male shih tzu. Is it ok to plane his potty pad and bed in his playpen? He will be kept in his playpen when we are not home and he will sleep in it over night. When we are home do we keep his potty pad in the play pen so he
There are many different options and opinions on the best way to house train - I personally think using a crate is best and quickest. Basically you have pup in the crate (no pee pad) whenever you aren't actively watching him AND take him out to go to the bathroom every hour, after eating, after drinking, after waking, after playing, or any other times he pauses for a second. The rest of the time, you're either 100% focused on him, or he's in the crate. As long as the crate is the right size (easy for him to turn around, but not a whole lot bigger), he won't eliminate in his resting place. if you go with the play pen method, it relies on him just figuring it out a bit more and may or may not work as well or quickly. Instead of having a clear resting place it's also a potty and meal place - some dogs do great with this and others not so much.

Hi! I have a question, i go to school every weekday so our house helper will be the one supervising our puppy. She keeps him outside in a pen while i'm at school, is that okay? This means that he will potty in the pen that is in the garden. I will ex
It's probably fine. If he starts having potty accidents in the house, then you may have to see if the helper can take him on walks while you are away. Also make sure there is plenty of shade and water for Adi.
