Baby Gate


  • O.k so I have the crate but I still need a sort of time out…thing. So I was thinking of getting a baby gate (as per your very informant forum) but I don't have an assigned area. We were thinking of various places where we would put it so need a gate that can eaily be moved around, so an installing gate is out. Plus we'de like one that can go across the livingroom/diningroom hall..about 4-5ft wide. Any suggestions? This is really for the nipping problem especially when my daughter is home alone with him.


  • Jeffers has all kinds of gates and sizes the number is 1800 jeffers


  • When I wanted to give my dogs more space I got one of those doggie play pens. It gives them some space but keeps them crated and they can easily be together. They are pretty light so you can move them around. But I will warn you, my fear was that Dash would try to climb out and knock it on him self so we put it around a beam in the basement so if he did it couldn't hurt him. He never tried though….yet.:eek:
    The one we have is about 4 ft high and maybe 6 ft long??. It is just connected panels so you can add to it to get the legnth you want across an area or you can make it a circle for a play pen, as I have. I got it at PETCO for about $100. It was well worth it.


  • I guess I'll end up just getting a small pressure gate since the big ones have to be mounted, hence can't be moved around. I'll figure out what time out space I can designate for him. Some of thos gates have the criss cross shape and open bottom…hello have you never heard of BASENJI's?


  • My husband thinks the baby gate for our B is silly so I don't think i can talk him into the $100 playpen plus our B is too active, it won't be able to stay in place. I can see it already collapsing.

    I grew up with birds, hamsters, cats, dog, rabbits and we had hives of honey bees. Never anything wrong with me all my life even got lucky never stepped on a bee. My kids have cats, dogs, bird and my daughter never worn pretty little dress cause she would go right under a car with her dad and get grease all over her. Dirt and my son go hand in hand. They have been healthy. Now as far as walking to school I could not do that. Been far to many kids never got to school to many out there take kids. So my kids have never been allowed to walk to school. One mile there but anything could happen. People that usually do not want animals have there little fancy house and do not want the hair or the dirt. We have a friend who has three children just got a puppy about month ago poor puppy. Puppy got over gate in wash room and well had fun while they were at work. She just about lost it aniamls are better off without being that kind of home I told her so. Sad news her husband just went to work for Science Diet and they have a animal day once a month and they told him it was important they had a animal. He lied when got job and said he did. Now there is a puppy my heart really goes out to. Rita Jean

    In my experience (only as a long time dog owner; and several dog personalities) dogs don't like to be awakened suddenly - it's a survival instinct. I don't think anyone/dog was at fault in your situation but I would definitely heed the advice given in earlier posts, including training your baby how to behave around the dogs as well (babies learn early about the world around them). I've found that even young children can elicite unexpected responses from my EL D – the neighbor girl (preschool) across the street likes him but has a (bad) habit of shreeking whenever he comes to her -- not only does it get on my nerves, her shreeking iritates EL D (his hair starts to rise) and I have to always talk/pet to him to calm him. Another neighbor has a grandson (with a constant grin on his face) who loves to call EL D to him and then tries to poke him in the eye or nose. Luckily so far EL D has always taken that as accidental (which it clearly is not) and has generally turned away. People have a tendency to train/change dog behavior but ignore/forget training the behavior of children.

    Lovely photos, so glad your pack is accepting of the "new puppy". I feel that if you just expect basenjis to be good, they will be!

    @Capt_Jack_our_Basenji: THANK!!! And OH YES time does fly…i dont want him to get bigger.... My first baby is 20. That's TWENTY YEARS OLD!!! How the blazes did THAT happen? LOL. My last baby will be 9 –NINE!!!!! -- in a couple of weeks. Yikes! I know people always say, "enjoy them while they're young; they grow up before you know it", which is true, but there's no way to really appreciate that fact until it's too late! You are so busy with the day to day, you just don't notice that suddenly your infant is packing to move out! But there is so much fun to come! By this time next year, he'll be walking!! and beginning to talk!!! THAT is so much fun! You DO want those fun days to come also. But I know these infancy days are so special -- so snuggly and warm. {and tiring! ;) } I understand there's a part of you that would love it to last forever.
