Gold Zinc Exercise Pen

I am crate training my puppy and he's doing great. However, I wanted him to have a larger space to play in without giving him free range of an entire room. I bought the 3' version of this ex-pen, so he'll always be able to use it. The 2' might be fine for toy breeds, but not my corgi mix! It is very heavy duty and once it is set up (with the joint supports included) it is nearly impossible to knock down. I love the door because I can join my puppy in the pen while we work on his new obedience training, and the other dog and cats can't interrupt to steal treats! I'm glad I made the investment and I'm sure it will be a great asset for years to come.

Pros: heavy duty, comes in varying heights

Cons: a litte expensive

We bought this to attach to our pup's crate. The door between the crate and pen stays open all the time and we use the pen door as the main door. There is no bottom to this pen, so it's a good idea to put something underneath if you're still housetraining. We got a roll of wood floor printed vinyl flooring and it fits perfectly. While you're picking that up, I suggest also getting six or so bricks to place around the perimeter. These help the pen stay in place if the pups jump up on the sides. So far we've had no problems with this item.

Pros: easy to set up and take down

Cons: pups can easily push the sides around
