Does the top close up? I don't want my dog to be able to jump out.

The top does close with a mesh like the surrounding sides and closes with a zipper. But if your dog is a jumper like mine is (toy poodle), she started figuring out that you can get out the top and would jump, stratch, and bite to try and get out (even though she never got out). So the zipper stopped working after a while which meant I had to either buy another or have an opened play pen. I bought a new one and the same thing happened, so I just bought a big cage for her instead.

Yes. It has a zipper all the way around it. I have two cats and wasn't sure how they would take to a new puppy. The playpen has been perfect.

Yes, the top zips shut as do the doors. However, I have 2 miniature schnauzer pups and somehow they have managed to get out without damaging the door! I guess they are little Houdinis who figured out how to unzip!! I even tried fastening the door zippers together with a twist tie and they still got out!! Tried video-ing them to see if I could catch them in the act but they did not cooperate!! Two little dickens!!!

Yes there is a zipper that keeps a net over the top. The only problem I have had with ours is that when our 4lb Yorkee was, when she was almost a year old, she figures out that if she keeps banging against the door, to the pen, she was able to break the zipper and get out.

If the dog could rip the mesh it could possibly get out. There is a zippered top and all the doors zip so even if the dog turned it over it would stay enclosed. Hope this helps.

I would think so but it doesn't zip up . It does have a pull string but my dog was still able to wiggle out a little when he wanted to. So if your dogs don't want to be confined they probably will be able to get out but I just held him in there and he was fine .

No, you cannot load your dog from the top. It has 2 storage compartments on the top

If you travel with the top open the only thing that would hold your pet in is connecting his/her leash to a built-in plastic loop inside. It would not be safe to travel this way. However, it is an option if you were to leave your pet in the car for a few minutes.

If he can jump then he can get out. If your using it in the house he also may be able to knock it over. I used it for a new puppy and if it wasn't staked into the ground outside he would have knocked it down.

No - the top is where there is a handle - what I do is load BAXTER in head first through the mesh door with the carrier tipped up - he quickly turns around while I am zipping up the door. I usually leave him in this briefly because while his weight is in the limits stated (13lbs) - his length is almost too long. A cat or a shorter bodied dog under 15 lbs would be very cozy peering out the mesh door.

Mine doesn't - it's very stable (my dogs are around 20 lbs). If you get one that is unstable it's defective and should be replaced.

My dog has jumped on it many (many, many) times, and it's never snagged. Even the cats haven't put a pull in it yet. I'm not saying it can't happen, but at least it's not something just waiting to happen. The weave is pretty tight.

ABSOLUTELY! We used one for our yorkie for over 8 months. You will have to use the top with him becauseJack Russell's can JUMP!

If you are using it indoors I don't think there is a way to keep it from moving when the dog jumps on it. For those who don't know, there are stakes included to keep it from moving when used outdoors.

I would not think 'jumping out' would be a problem. My bassett/lab mix has never shown that he could jump out of the enclosure. However, if you review some of the customer reviews on Amazon, there is video footage from one customer that shows her dog climbing out of the area. The dog appears to be a Yorkie.

They won't jump over it unless you have some lathing inside they can climb into. There is an opening that you can connect to a cage with a tube. You can close it as well when you use it elsewhere. It's best to give them a lot of space to move because in the morning. They love to run around. It was a great purchase and easy clean up to store.

They have a toggle on the end to secure it but it may not work so well in a home unless there is something to anchor it to. We have a bulldog but a dachshund might be much lighter and able to climb. The ramp itself is quite nice and the best price I have found anywhere for this type of ramp. It's a bit heavy at 10 pounds. Hope this helps.

It has a hard door that you can place over the opening so the dog can't go out or come in. We love ours. We just bought one for our walk-out basement door so we have one on both levels. Sure beats opening the door every time our puppy wants to go out.

Depends, how high can your dog jump? If he can jump high, the covering will not prevent him from slipping out.

It has a zipper closing. If your dog is small, it could escape if left open. Mine used it for entrance. There's lots of ventilation through net. My dog is absolutely crazy about it and gets ex cited if I even touch.
