BARRICADE. Block off a forbidden room, such as a newborn's room, with a dog gate. Does your dog confuse toddler toys with her toys? Easy mistake, stuffed animals all look alike to her, right? Legos® are bite-size treasures ready to be had. Rather than chase her around the house every 5 minutes yelling, "Give", we can offer privacy to the kids playing on the floor.

In their doorway, place a dog safety gate. For obvious reasons we won’t even cover snack time. Noses pressed firmly on your lap waiting for you to "give"…

TIPS: Convinced but unsure of what to purchase among all choices of dog gates? Here are some helpful hints, some learned by personal experience.

1. Confirm your location is desirable and practical. Measure width of area whether it's wall-to-wall or a doorway. Measure height of dog; consider the size of dog relative to height of gate.


2. Design of gate depends on the high traffic area. Look for durability and safety. Wooden gates make for an un-welcomed teether toy for puppy. If your dog is a chewer, choose a good quality plastic or better yet, metal. Easy-to-use is a biggie since you'll operate this several times a day depending on your situation. Fancy details equal crevices for dog hair and dirt, consider how easy it will be to clean your new gate.


3. Permanent or temporary style of gate? Temporary will give you more flexibility to move it from a doorway or entrance way. For a higher traffic area, a wise investment in a more permanent fixture may be what you want. This convenient gate provides the feature of easy open and close. This style will also protect the walls of constant bumping; resulting in slipping and damaging paint or wallpaper.
