Can the dog push over the pen when it is all set up?

Depends. My maltese cannot but my lab could. Also depends an the shape used whrn you set it ip.up. You could put something heavy on or over it to help with tissue.the issue.

No. There is a spot in his front paw that you push. No matter, that's trivial compared to what he offers. This dog is not just for children. He can even help adults in life's tough times. Once he begins to laugh.. his tail turns him... you watch and listen and you can't HELP but be happy. The laughter is contagious. EVERYONE SHOULD OWN ONE!

No that is not true. The door to the pen can be opened with the top on. At least the model that I have. The panel that contains the door is larger than the door itself so it can be opened. I don't recall if my actual kennel is a precision pet kennel or a brand of similar size. I did not but the kennel and the top at the same time. I realized I needed the top when my min pin figured out how to climb out!Good luck. I hope that helps.

Depending on the breed of small dog... the 30" exer-pen should be fine for you. We have a Border Terrier (puppy), a Dachshund/terrier mix (we think... she is our rescue doggie), and currently... a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix (foster-doggie) We have two 36" pens that we used together to make a good "play area" for the young "boys"... They are quite capable of jumping over a 30"... but stayed just fine inside the 36'...

yes, you could configure it by attaching 2 of them together. It comes folded, then opens to a "straight" wall that you bend into whatever shape you want. So, it would work to attach 2 of them to make a really large pen. I think this is for a small animal though. It's not very tall and my 30 pound dog can knock it over. It's perfect and used often for my 6 pound dog though.

No. but you do have to close it up so it is a pen. I used wire to fasten it shut. It will not hold a rambuctious dog. Light weight for easy storage. Hope this helps.

I haven't owed a velcroe dog pen before but I would think that this pen would hold up better being that both sides are zippered. In my opinion, the walls are sturdy but my yorkie figured out how to unzip the top and got loose, twice. We had to rig the top so he wouldn't be able to get out anymore while we were gone. We never had an issue with the bottom zipper. Didn't have an issue with either zipper other than my dog knowing how to unzip it. We used it for a good two weeks and that was it; still good for travel though.

I think this pen is not the best design for your purpose. It isn't so easy to put up and take down. I do love it, but it stayed up for my puppy.

Unless your dog doesn't push the limits I would not say it would be a good pen for a German Shepherd. It does stay in place quite well.

HiSorry- I did not attach mine to the wall- just wedged it up against the wall- not really foolproof, but dog is rarely left alone in pen for very long, and hasn't yet tried to get out. So, in that case, yes, easy to put away. Caution though, if folding up. If you tighten (lock) the joints , they will break under pressure if you try to fold them without loosening -my daughter didn't know and did that. North States send us a free replacement lower joint.

They are ground stakes (to anchor the bottom down) so your pet cannot try to squeeze or lift his/her way out from underneath if the pen is used on unlevel, soft surfaces like grass, dirt, etc.

My dog is 30 pounds and can scoot the pen along the un-carpeted part of the floor so we had to put furniture on all sides to keep it in place. I would think a German shepherd if it jumped up on the side could knock the pen over entirely and get out. I'd go with something bigger and sturdier.

I think it would depend on the size of your dog and how aggressive he is. The material has held up very well for me. My dog is 10 pounds. He has turned the play pen over a couple of time, which prompted me to put bricks around the inside to hold it down. That worked.

No, you could probably improvise something. My dog is older and doesn't try to get out.

I would say yes. We kept our Brittany spaniel puppy in here for a few hours at a time when weather was too bad to put him outside. At about 20-25 lbs it was too small for him to do much other than lay down and maybe roll around a little with his toys. I think a toy jack russel will be small enough to make this a better suited "play pen"

This play pen is great for my puppy. He has plenty of room and I have it connected it to his crate so he has a sleeping area, food area and a place for his puppy pads. It can be set up in different shapes so just measure the panels (24") x eight in the set up you want. I have mine in the corner of my bedroom and you can fold the panels you do not need to make it smaller. It has worked out great! I would purchase again and it is easy to travel with.

Yes that's how I have to use it. My dogs tried hard to get to it and couldn't. Its a hard plastic piece that sits on top of the pad (the pad sits below it and doesn't touch the plastic so they can't pull it out).
