BenjisMom 681 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Im SO sorry that I post so much!! I'm sure you are all sick of me! I'm looking into getting an exercise pen for Milo and Benji to share while I am at work during the day. They have been staying in their crates, but it just has been making me too sad and I want to look into an exercise pen that is tall enough to not be climbed out of (Milo is a climber). This will be going in my air conditioned garage. What ex-pens do you guys use while at work, school, ect.? Links please! Thanks so much! Im not sure if I should be looking into something like this: http://www.amazon.com/MidWest-Exercise-Pen-30-Inch-Black/dp/B000H8YTJI/ref=sr_1_3?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1450290177&sr=1-3&keywords=dog+exercise+pen Or this: http://www.amazon.com/ESK-COLLECTION-Playpen-Exercise-Kennel/dp/B00SFA8KBS/ref=sr_1_9?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1450290177&sr=1-9&keywords=dog+exercise+pen 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Luna 8,676 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I've always used the metal Midwest pens and they last forever. The soft-sided ones are nice but a determined dog WILL chew through them. I also have an Iris Exercise Pen that's handy for travel, but it's very lightweight and if you have a dog that jumps on the sides of the pen it WILL move around. For a calm dog, they would be fine. There are several different types of Iris pens - this one is 3' square. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling one of my boys would climb.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think it would be big enough for two small dogs? Milo is the same size as Benji. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scout's Mom 730 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I have two of the Midwest pens (one is an extra for travel and such)! They are both 24" but my dog is not a jumper or climber. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenjisMom 681 Posted December 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Thanks all. Ended up going with the Midwest and today will be our first time using it. Hears hoping. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
