Would you recommend this for a dog with separation anxiety that chews at the wood on the door frame? Or can it come off too easily and stick to him?

I do not believe this would help with protecting your wood from the chewing. It just really protects the paint on the wood from my 9 lb. Yorkie scratching to go out. He is not a "yappy" dog, he is actually very quiet for a Yorkie, but he scratches the door frames up, so when we painted this summer we placed this over the newly painted doors where he scratches and it has held up well for almost 4 months. Hope that helps.

Some of the other reviews say that it doesn't sick to wood very well. I can only assume that it wouldn't be the best option for you as your dog would prolly be able to pull it off. Consider apple bitters spray to discourage chewing. You should be able to find it at any pet store

I wouldn't put it in areas that a dog might chew. It's more for areas where scratching is an issue. You might try picking up something at a pet store to discourage chewing, it's a spray that tastes bitter to a dog. You spray or wipe on the liquid around your doorframe, and the dog won't like the taste, so he/she stops chewing (at least in that area).

I bought to keep my dogs from scatching off the painted door frame and door - I think chewying might pull it off since it will peel away easily.

I do not think it would stick to him but he could chew it if he got it off and that would not be good. My dog a big Pointer scratches at it and it does come off eventually. Hope this helps

Nope. That's exactly why I bought it, and he got it off in a few hours. I could actually tell it wasn't going to stick as I applied. Not nearly strong enough adhesive. I bought sill shields from here http://www.sillshield.com/white.html and they are great. Not sure what I am going to do about the moulding around the door.

I was in love with this playpen until my shih tzu started his puppy stage and started chewing on the zipper of one of the doors. He finally chewed a hole in that door. I turned the playpen around so that chewed door was against a wall. Well it took him 1 day to figure out how it still worked for an escape. Now I just leave it open and he will get in it for a nap during the day.

It sounds like a small puppy. If there really isn't any chewing, I think it would work well, unless the puppy can climb. (One of my dogs used to scramble over baby gates when she was a puppy.)

Don't get the collapsable if your dog has extreme separation anxiety. Our pitbull mix was able to pull a panel down and get out. We then got the non collapsable version and he cannot get out of that one as the seems are bolted instead of rivets. He does try and does chew on the vents which can cause some minor gum bleeding. Once our dog got used to it, it seems to work pretty well. It is the only crate we have had that our dog has not destroyed. Hope that helps...

Hey Jack! I have a young german shepherd mix with TERRIBLE separation anxiety. We have had the crate for several months, and she has never even come close to getting out. She actually gave up trying to get out, and calmed down quite a bit. This is the only crate that I 110% trust.

I think the pet door frame would need to be cut down and the frame work is marked for this purpose. We had to cut ours down for a paneled wood door and it worked just fine.

Actually it's quite unstable and never worked well for the dog. I would not trust it with much weight. A wood board is cheaper and safer.

I don't know the dog or it's age, if he was mine I would keep the dog at my hip with carabiner on leash at belt loop. Then train my pup as he barked give a little tug and say No/ quiet or shhh. The vest/jacket has helped our pup greatly with his fear and anxiety. Sounds he may need to burn energy (bike or walks) then train with treats and loving, before meals Good luck

My dog is a small/med. size and can't get a large enough piece chewed off to get it stuck. I wonder if you could manage to cut the big stick into long thin pieces if that would help at all.....

Size wise yes, if he/she has separation anxiety then a big NO. My 55lb German Shepherd gets out of this crate easily. I had to order a different crate because this one is easily, and I stress easily, bent.

I have the large so my dog can't really bite it. There are a lot of scratches on it because she tries to bite it when it gets stuck in a corner. She loves the ball and will play with it until she gets tired out. I love it too, it helps to calm her down.

Nope, I got my dog when she was 6 months and she was ok on her own until the dreaded chewing of cords etc. So I started crating her, she learned to crate surf so you may need to put a mat or something under the crate (I use a bath mat that has a a rubber no slip backside) it put an end to finding her in the crate in the middle of the room, LOL. THey also say for every month the dog is they can go an hour of holding it. But I wouldn't like to wait 12 hours every day to go pee so I am sure even though my dog can hold it she wouldn't like to either, but if you have no choice it comes down to what makes a safe environment for your pet and your house when you are not home.

I purchased this for separation anxiety. I do think it makes a difference but on some days it does not seem to. I think it depends on your dog.

If he is hell bent on getting out he will no matter what. My Boxers love it, I can even walk away and they don't try to get out but they like getting baths. It is however better setup for taller breeds so it should work better for you than for me. If he isn't used to baths or afraid of the tub introduce him slowly at his pace and you shouldn't have a problem.

Um... how intense is this chewing? Our Doberman puppy could flip this sucker in an instant. Didn't work out for us. Try this: MidWest Exercise Pen with Door, 42-Inch, GoldAnd for chewing... KNOG products are a lifesaver, as well as Nylabone! Antlers are good too!

I believe we used that 'foam' like tape. It did come off quite frequently though. I bought my son a different style that just hangs around the door knob for Christmas. We'll see if that works better.

Our dog had chewed the door so that it is somewhat bent and it had forced us to find a method to keep the cage together. We are using a small carabiner at each of the hinges. It seems to work well.
