Is it sturdy enough to withstand dogs jumping on it?

Jill,I think it would depend on the size of the dogs. If you had a few little dogs to medium dogs it would be fine. I have two 11 lb terriers and have had no issues with it. I truly love this gate. I hope it helped.

I would say no, but I don't have the feet so its not set up to free stand. I have it fully extended with weights on either side to support it. Its sturdy enough that it doesn't dent or get damaged when my dog jumps on it, but it definitely moves and shakes. I have a 50lbs chow chow.

Yes this is sturdy. But if your puppy is a heavy chewer I would not recommend.

Yes it is really rather sturdy - unless it is a Mane coon or upwards of 20 lbs it should be fine

I think it is sturdy enough, but check to see if the bar will go high enough. We have it for fun, not for gymnastics practice.

Yes it is sturdy enough. We use it for a Macaw and he lands on it all the time and it has never tipped over and Macaws are heavy birds. Also, you do not need to attach a toy holder because up above the perch is a place to hang toys.

The base is very sturdy and weighted. I don't believe a toddler or pet would knock it over unless they were "climbing" it.

Yes it is definitely sturdy enough but I would be concerned about them if they might miss the general center of the platform and jump in the edge that then they might cause the stack to topple if you stack too high.

It works fine for two dogs that are less than 20 lbs each. They don't bounce on it or try to move it. I think it depends on the rambunctiousness nature of the pet :)

I would say technically yes but it's not the most stable. It's more for decoration as it's just a bunch of pieces of wood set up on and around the kennel. You could probably fortify it to be more stable

It is pretty sturdy. My dog did chew the handle off in a matter of a few days but the rest is in great shape and I would recommend this for any pet.

This will be big enough in all likelihood, but not sturdy enough. A hyper puppy already that weight might try to use it as a backstop and jump on it when running around... I doubt it takes much of that sort of punishment.

It's very sturdy. I can stand and walk on it no problem and my son is 105 lbs and he tides bikes and skateboards on it. It would certainly hold a large dog.

It is sturdy but I dont think stepping on the side would hold up if lots of pressure is put on it. Strap is plenty long. My Shih tzu is 12.4 pounds and she has room to lay down in it. She also puts her paws on the side to look out window and we have had no problems. This is a great seat.

This is more sturdy than it looks. I would think if used as pictured (8 section) here for a 60" dog it would be roomy enough. Used as a 4 section would NOT be large enough. Keep in mind the sections height and your dog's jumping ability, because I have had dogs jump out of this. I use this for 8wk - 4mo old foster pups and some of the larger pups have escaped.

I definitely think it will last you a few years. My jack russells managed to jump over it easily at 6 months old so if your dog is a jumper, you might want to reconsider

It's quite strong when assembled correctly. The sides would crack before they'd collapse. It's more of a hard resin instead of the "laundry basket" type of plastic that many crates are made of. That's why I bought this crate. I cannot imagine dogs escaping if it's assembled the right way. It's very sturdy and durable. I hosed mine out this morning since my dog is being spayed today and it was a breeze. Both ends are wire mesh so it's easy to do and dries quickly.

yes, it will hold up, unless your dog is actually a chomping rascally puppy..............
