Frisco Wire Dog Exercise Pen with Step-Through Door

She LOVES the extra space outside her crate; we have it in a U-shape against the wall (well, built in desk actually, her crate goes in the kneehole) She still cant be unsupervised, so this is super helpful. (Today she got into something sticky and Mom gave her an unfortunate haircut. Can't wait to hear the groomer's shrieks when we next bring her in...) This gives her the space to stretch out and play with her toys, do a little barking, do a little dance, and well, you know, basically Get Down Tonight. As it packs up flat, it is great for travel. We bought a piece of the uber-tacky linoleum-by-the-roll (ew, this really shouldn't even BE legal except for this purpose) to protect carpeting and She LOVES the extra space outside her crate; we have it in a U-shape against the wall (well, built in desk actually, her crate goes in the kneehole) She still cant be unsupervised, so this is super helpful.

We just put down the linoleum, plunk the pen on top and Bob's your uncle--Puppy-proof accommodation! The only drawback is the flimsiness of the attachment clips. It would be super easy to swap them out for something more durable--how 'bout it, Frisco? … more

My pup goes inside his pen all by himself whenever he needs a nap or wants some alone time. I got this as an alternate to a crate so that puppy will have space to play, and if he ever has a potty-related accident he won't do it were he sleeps. He's never had one though! I will occasionally sprinkle broken-up training treats inside to further associate with good things. This pen has plenty of space, and I love the alternate settings for the set-up. I got a taller one than would be recommended for my cavapoo pup because he loves to jump, but I think I could have ordered the regular size for him and it would have worked out well. It is easy to set up, and the door closes properly. I live in My pup goes inside his pen all by himself whenever he needs a nap or wants some alone time.

Hi. My name is Fergus. I am an 8 week Bernedoodle. My new family brought me home today and I just love my new play pen. My Daddy fixed it so I can go in and out of my crate and play in my new livingroom. It is very roomy and it is funny watching my new parents step over the sides to come in and play with me and give me belly rubs. I feel safe and secure in my pen and I really like it that I already learned my space. Off to sleep now and I will be stretched out in comfort with all my room and no noisy sissies and brothers taking up my space. Thank you Chewy. - Fergus

My husband and I are both seniors. Our little puppy has way more energy than we do, so when WE need a "time out", this pen is a safe and friendly place for her to be while we rest. We have her bed in a corner, her food and water dishes in another corner, and many toys for her to play with. We all wind up taking a nap around the same time. We don't have to worry about her getting into things she shouldn't and she is quite content being able to see us in the same room. We also don't like to have to use her sleeping crate during the day as a "holding pen" She does love this.

The pen is amazing. We open it up to the room if were are with our puppy and close it up where he is happy to have room to play and nap while we leave room to do normal household chores or the never ending meal making. We put the small kennel in there for night and it is awesome not having a young puppy getting into things and chewing what he shouldn't LOVE IT. I only did not give 5 stars or a 10 rating as it came bent so the door does not work properly....we open it from a different panel and use hooks provided to make it work for us.

Overall, this pen is pretty standard and works as expected. My only complaint is the half-round metal clip attached to one of the panels. Its purpose is to hold all 8 panels together when transporting the pen. But, when the pen is in use, it's just hanging there about 18" off the ground. And our golden retriever puppy just LOVES to chew on it. We can't get her to stop. I really wish there was a way to remove the clip or secure it outside the pen.

Glad that I got this before brining my doodle pup home. It attaches easily to her crate and can be attached to more exercise pens to create a bigger space. It's very helpful when I need to leave her alone for a few minutes. I started using it as a pen and now just use it as a gate to keep my puppy on one side of the room instead of the whole family room. Easy to maneuver and set up. Definitely recommend if you're getting or have a puppy so you can control the environment!

I bought this to use as a playpen for my 8 week old Akita puppy who is 18 pounds. I went with a much larger size than I anticipated needing because I figured I could get a few good months out of this. Unfortunately, It's not working at all for me. It slides across the floor, it doesn't hold it's shape, and he's managed to knock the locks loose multiple times. Not to say this product might work great for someone with a smaller dog or puppy, but it's not working for us with our large breed puppy at all. After a few days I ended up just boxing it back up and I'm not sure what to do with it now because it's unusable.

I got a replacement pen because the one I got did not come with the correct stabilizers. I was given 4 stabilizers that are not the ones pictured and described . The ones I got were 2 welded together with a hole on one side. They do not have the slit in the bottom to allow them to slide over the panel. There is NO way to push these down on the panels. I only wanted to receive the correct stabilizers however Chewy sent me a new one. I just got it today and it has the exact same incorrect 4 sterilizers. I really like the pen but I chose this one because of the stabilizers. It's basically useless to me without them. Anyone else have this problem and were you able to solve it??

This would have been a 5 star review have we had more connectors. We use the pen in connection with the crate, and having just a few metal snaps to connect the two makes for a flimsy structure. I also would recommend including something to ground the pen to or on the floor (plastic supports maybe?) Otherwise, this is a great product. It has given our puppy plenty of space to roam but also is keeping our furniture safe.
