Could this be used indoors to introduce my Pembroke Corgi to agility training? Don't want to spend a lot in case he isn't too interested in it. Thnx!

I don't know anything about agility training but have had mine for years what do you need it to do?

no not really it would work if you could put several together it would but these are made so you can not put several together which I did not know till I bought 4 of them

I use it indoors. I have cats and they like to go in and just sit. No agility training for them.

I would think it could be used indoors as well. Its a very well made product if your considering it.

Yes, the kennel is great. BUT, check out DryFur (http://www.dryfur.com/) and make all the suggested changes. It DOES matter!(You can buy the hardware at your local hardware store or Home Depot.)

HiI tried this for my adult Yorkie/Jack Russell, he refused. I don't think it is a matter of size, but a matter of habit. My little guy, approx 7 kilos simply refuses to go inside no matter what.

I would not as it is like unfinished wood. It is very light weight...also if dogs jump and push ,it will move. Only good for already trained dogs

I would think so, but you'd still have to bring the bottom tray inside to clean. My dog won't go near it so I don't know. I'm keeping it as I think it would be a great place to train a puppy. :)

i think the dog would take up the entire tent - i think you would need something a bit bigger. I will ask my fellow agility folks this week at class, and see what those with very large dogs are using - stay tuned!

I would not recommend it. It is too expensive to be used this way. Check out pet catalogs or Amazon Pets for something more suitable

It isn't designed for indoor use as the dog probably could not enter the room or house with the unit on. It is made for outdoor use and when it's working correctly it is perfect for keeping them inside the barrier. The area covered is way bigger than a couch!!!!

I would think it would be just fine. I have a 12lb yorkie (female) and it works great for her. And you will love the neatness of it! My yorkie took to it very quick, she was already pad trained, but being how she was a puppy, she would pull the pad apart sometimes. The UGODOG was the answer for that problem. And it looks much better than a pad or paper on the floor. Just give it a few days and for training, and be sure to put it in the same spot you have always had his paper in. Good Luck!

This is a sturdy pet gate, and I think it will work fine for you. It's made of wood and expandable, and if you attach it securely I think you'll be happy with it. We use ours inside and haven't had any issues with it after about six months of daily use. Hope that helps!

It does seem to help in house training. We have used it with two puppies at different times. It of course is only one tool needed. Many times a puppy will find an "0ut-of-the-way" spot to do "their thing". Another tool we found very effective in those type of situations was also getting a small, cheap ($15-$20) infrared alarm (Radio Shack used to have them) aimed at the "out-of-the-way" spot. In the case of our second puppy - it literally scared the "poop" out of the puppy but she never did 'it' in the house again! That and Get Serious is very effective.

My dog is currently 95lbs and runs a little large for the kit, but it still functions- you just have to put more focus on the training, etc. The tunnel and the hoop are small. If you are just beginning to train on an large adult dog, I would say purchase sturdier equipment. I originally got the kit when mine was a puppy so he knows to be careful his it vs. his size at this point.

You can use it indoors if it's diluted. They give you mix ratio for indoors on the package. I would keep your pets away from it though. Well, at least for a few days.

We taught our dog agility and part of agility was getting on a table and then they got a treat. I referred to the bed as table at first. Then I kept putting it where they normally would lay. Eventually my Aussie accepted it as her bed. Hot dog bits work well for training.

yes there should be plenty of room for what you want to do i just got the IRIS pen for my teddy bear puppy who is coming soon.I know a breeder who uses it for when she has a group of little puppies.I got the two panels that you can add to it because i want mine to be in the shape of a rectangle for my one puppy with her crate and her litter tray for indoor potty training. Her water bottle with connect to the sides of the pen and food bowl on the floor. There will be room for her to move about and play with her toys.

For that price u can get a bigger cage used. Ferrets can get pretty long. It may feel crowded in here. If u put him/her in something of this size, try to let him out now and then (u can leave it in a room with no holes or dangerous furniture) so it can excercise. Check eBay, too. Good cage tho. Love the slide out bottom tray.
