Baby Doggy Gates

Having little ones...with four legs...can be challenging in a number of ways. Just like a human baby, these furry babies can get into a lot of trouble. That's why we put up a (real) baby gate.

Our big Weimaraner, James, has a leg condition that should be closely monitored - that means no going up and down stairs. To prevent him, as well as our little one, from doing so, we put a baby gate in place. Vesper models it off here:


It's a great brand "Dream Baby" that, like many gates, can be adjusted to fit spaces of varying size. All you have to do is order extensions. Here, we've used three.

While we prefer the ease and simplicity of the latch system on ours (slide latch + lift up to open, plus it automatically swings shut), we loved the sleek design from one of our excellent clients:


This model costs a bit more, but gets top marks from us for it's solid design.

We have another client who preferrs using a decorative garden-gate. It's very simple, serves the same purpose as a baby gate, but blends much better with the interior design of her home.

So, it's really up to you - your personal tastes, desire for ease-of-use, and the design of your home all play a part in containing your babies. If you have any recommendations, send them along bark@topdogwalk.com
