Would large dogs be able to get over this and does this attach to the walls with an easy open latch for an elder lady to work effectively?

yes, a large dog would easily be able to jump the gate, Amazon has a large selection to chose from.

Yes large dogs could get over, and it uses tension on either side. We returned ours however based on the poor quality.

Large dogs can easily jump this gate and there is no easy open latch. If this is what you need this gate is not a good choice for you.

A large dog will probably step right over it.It does attach to the wall with friction type turnscrews so a large dog would probably dislodge it by leaning against it.The gate in the barrier is operated by a simple spring loaded plunger which sometimes has to be fiddled with to get it to align.Please do not misunderstand my following advise: Based on your description of yourself I do NOT think that this would be an ideal gate for you or the dog.Sorry

It was a total waste. The screws that held it to the door were into the original wood and useless. It is totally useless for a baby/puppy gate and my little puppy got over it immediately by just pushing it over. Don't waste your money on this. I wasted mine and am sorry. It became fire wood. Totally useless and a bad buy.

A large dog would have no problem stepping over this. My gate lasted a week it was not made very well.

I think that a medium or large dog could jump this gate, since it is only 18" tall. This gives it the 'walk-over " feature. Our dog is a 13-pound Bichon and it works well for him. But for a larger dog , you would probably do better with an open and close gate. It is easy to install, however. You just put the four large plastic knobs into pre-drilled holes on the sides and turn them until the desired fit us achieved. This gate is well made so if you can find an open and shut gate in the same brand, I would get that. Hope that helps.

If the dog doesn't jump on the gate it should work. Definitely mount to the door frame, it comes with the supplies. If you don't put the screws in the wall then anything that pushes up against it will knock it down.

Christine,Would not recommend it for a large dog that might be jumping onto the top of the gate if you are planning to open and close it on a regular basis. Have my gate at the base of the stairs to keep two older Labs downstairs with a 38 inch opening. Had to keep adjusting the level of the gate till I trained the children not to push down on the gate. Can provide photos of the gate if requested.Still would give it 5 stars for a temporary gate. With 8 and 4 year old children their weight pulling down on the top end by the latch during opening and closing the gate would cause it to not latch.

Mine is at the top of our main staircase and the dogs don't attempt to pass it, they won't even touch it. So to answer your question; I don't know what it would do under the weight of a large dog. My 70lb guy won't jump up it, but if he did, it would not easily topple over as it is quite sturdy. At first, I thought that I might have to zip tie the gate in place to to the stair rail, but it is heavy enough to stay in place as we open and close the gate. I'd buy another one if I needed it.

Yes, it is a very simple latch which prevents the dog from pushing the door up. When you open the door you have to lift the latch so that the door slides up.

I think so, but to be honest my dog is only twenty pounds. It's certainly easier on them than conventional stairs. Also, it does state that it will support dogs up to 100 pounds so I believe it would be fine. The one thing I recommend is that you either put it between a wall and the bed or something like that to stabilize it and make it more secure for the dog. My dog loves it but refused to use it at first. I put her on a leash and led her up it and then (after a cookie) led her down on the leash.

Yes, it's easy, but we used the wall anchors for more stability (our dogs are large and enthusiastic) and we find it's easier to just leave them up all the time. They're reasonably attractive and the gates are easy to operate, plus this allows us to quickly and easily kick the dogs out of the kitchen if they're being pests!

Im sure it would bend if she tried to get out.. We have a 56 pound American Pit Bull Terrier, and I accidentally only latched one of the two latches on the door (she noticed) and beat at the door. Although it did bend, it still latches and works just fine. Totally my fault though. I have bought two of these kennels though, and would reccommend it!

My dog is 65 lbs. and freaks out during thunderstorms and fireworks (if in the area). I have the 61 inch gate enclosure separating a sun room from the kitchen (all windows and no place to hide his head). I saw one attempt to climb over but made him stop, I don't know what he does when I am not home but so far I see no damage to the gate. I am really pleased with it (didn't think it would work, but stronger than I thought). Hope this helps PS: I have always had trouble with tension shower curtain rods. Screw it to your wall it works better!

You can, but you would have to attach it with something or the puppy could push it out from the wall and escape!

If you mean not square to the wall? No, the pads will slip off the wall. If you mean leaning in or out sure that is not a problem as long as you can open the gate up.
1869573
Yes, dogs with a mind to do it can knock it over. It is free standing so does not come with hardware to attach it to doorways.

this is not a pressure mounted gate. It screws into the wall and is very secure, the gate latches and locks. The only issue that you may have is the bar across the bottom people might trip over it when the gate is open if they dont step over it.

Definitely not. My dog was only 12 lbs and managed to bend the wall with very little effort. If he had gotten his head stuck under it, it would have killed him. It is an attractive crate, but terribly flawed design.
584568
Yes it would. It is very flexible and does provide the ability to allow your dog to be fairly normal when moving in and out of doors. It is a 5 star.

This is a hard one to answer. It could be pulled off of a door by a determined dog. It does hold pretty well.

Mine won't secure against the wall but the gate is pretty heavy that it doesn't move easily or fall over when pulled on.All corners latch secure and unlatch easily
