Is there any way this can collapse with the dog in it?

No, the only way would be if an adult was to sit on top of it. Or if a kid climbed on top of it. It is not made for anyone to climb or sit on it. Once the frame is locked in place it will not fold up untill you release it. My Koda use's his every night and it has never closed on him and he even pushes on the screens and lay's against them and it has never collapsed on him. I hope this answers your Question or at least reasures you it won't collapse with your dog in it. Sally Riojas

The tube bracing lines up and a bigger tube with a button lock slides over the joined bracing. Unless your dog chews on the exact place where the pencil eraser sized button lock is, and then slides the bigger tube over to un join the bracing, I doubt it would collapse.

Once you put it together correctly which is very easy by the way. It won't collapse. I have 3 of these that my dogs sleep in and they are large doggies who are rambunctious and not one of the beds has collapsed and one of them I've had for a few years.

Unfortunately not. I bought this for my son and our puggle jumped on it and it popped. It didn't last more than 2 weeks. The dog is only 22 pounds

There is a "mesh" window that zips closed. This allows your pet to move freely inside the "basket" but does not allow them to jump out. But there is no "tie-down". The Tie-Down could become a choke hazzard.

Technically it does not collapse because the liner is a hard plastic removable liner. I guess if you pulled the insert/liner out it could collapse flat, but we just store it as is.

Absolutely. Its like a hammock. Theres no way your pup will get to the floor

Actually, it does not collapse easily at all. Unfortunately, if your puppy is a jumper like ours then you won't want to get this play pen at all. At 12 wks old our German shephed puppy was able to jump over a 4 ft gate so it didn't surprise me that he tried to jump over this 40 inch playpen. In his attempt, he managed to get his foot stuck in between two of the panels and I found him hanging by his foot struggling and crying. His foot was so jammed between the two slots that it took quite a bit of force to get his foot out. By the time I managed to get his foot out it was swollen twice the size and his was unable to walk on it. This resulted in a first trip to the emergency room for my puppy.

There's actually a mesh net in front that you can zip shut. I have 2 small dogs and was strong enough to hold them in.

You probably could but you would have to figure out how to secure the sides. Also it depends on the size of the dog & how active they are. When i first got one, once my puppy learned how to jump over it and climb over it, so I had to get a cover.Not a bad idea. I love it.

Yes, it can. It doesn't take up much space. Does make some noise when the dog is going at it.

The frame is held with metal clips that make it fairly rigid. BUT, it is a collapsable model and I don't know how anxious your dog is...I suppose you could reinforce it with plastic zip ties once you assemble it. I can't imagine a dog breaking it though. It's very well made.

No. It does not collapse and it does stick out from the bed a good 24 inches. Otherwise, it's a very sturdy set if stairs. My GSP has not ventured to use them yet, but my terrier and my toddler use them daily.

Probably but why? Unless you have the right materials and can form a pretty much solid thick piece of rubber with the ridges across the top to hold it in the frame and the strip at the bottom to make it snap closed, it will take some time to make and I doubt it will last as long. Our original lasted 10 years with 3 large dogs and a couple of cats using it frequently. We finally replaced it because the edges were getting worn and letting air paas through.

Not really. I think you could smash it down to pack it but it's not make to collapsible.

Hi. I really don't see how she could break this buckle. It is large and very secure and is located on the side of the harness which falls near the armpit of my 60 lb. pitbull mix. The is no stress placed near the buckle. This is the only harness that I have ever liked. It is so easy to use. My dog even likes wearing it!

You can easily set it up on top of cement, but you wouldn't be able to anchor it, so if the animal you are containing is strong, they would be able to move it around. It isn't meant to be permanent in any case.

Yes, but the bag is rather small so I don't know if there would be room for an animal inside if the top were squashed down.

There is a trick to getting it to fold down. The bars need to be in a certain position and if they don't fall that way then it will not collapse and fold. I'm folding challenged with this crate.
