I've used an xpen for lots of things:
a) area for a puppy before they were potty-trained (big enough to include a crate an litter box)
b) outside dog containment unit for picnics, lure course events, spending time outdoors on the deck up North. It's great because they can hang out with all the people but are safely contained.
c) I block off all of the areas of the basement we don't want the dogs, and
d) and on top of that created a dog-training area in the basement that is pretty sweet, if I do say so myself. :rolleyes: You can only see a part of it in the picture, but it is a 12x12 area in the basement, that I recently expanded to a larger area. That is the cool thing about xpens, they are pretty adaptable to a lot of spaces.
