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.

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!

what do I do if my puppy is smart enough to get out of her cage on her own?
I would recommend getting a different cage or one that requires two fingers to engage a spring. Dogs are unable to open the cages that have the springs in my experience. These are similar to cat carriers that have the spring loaded mechanism on the door. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

I'm having a hard time keeping patty focus when I'm training her. My backyard is spacious and lately I've been considering training her in a pen. Is this a good idea to try out?
If there are a lot of distractions in the yard it may be better to go in some kind of an enclosed pen. You could also work on a command like 'look at me' or something similar where she makes eye contact with you inside and then practice outside. If she is wandering off you may also want to consider simply having her on a long lead when she's out in the yard - that way you can draw her towards you to get her attention and begin training again. Keep in mind that younger dogs do better with more frequent, shorter training sessions since their attention span may not be as long as an older dog.
