"I purchased this in order to keep my new yorkie puppy in the laundry room and not have to leave him in a crate. He is a great escape artist! We have a pet gate that we currently use for our poodle mix but since our yorkie is so small, he can fit through the bar openings. This pen was supposed to replace the gate.
I bought it knowing that he will not be able to escape through the wires and also give both him and our 3 year old poodle enough room to play together.
I was disappointed because I couldn't get the door to open and there were no instructions that came with the pen. I tried everything from taking the pieces apart but somehow the door latch would not come apart. So, I had to return it for this purpose. It may be simple but I could not figure it out. Other than that, it would work but for me it defeats the purpose of having a door as part of the pen when it can't be accessible."
