Is your dog young and untrained or destructive? Do you wish you could keep him secure while you are busy without necessarily locking him up? A good pet gate could be the answer to your problem.
A good pet barrier is beneficial to any home where dogs are present. You can use them to keep your children and dog apart while you cannot closely supervise. It is especially useful if the dog is eating and your small child is curious. A fence is also a great tool for housetraining a young dog or puppy. You can keep them in a certain area that is easy to clean so they do not mess on your carpet. It is also an excellent substitute for shutting them in a room or crate and preventing separation anxiety.
The strongest type of dog gate is a hardware-mounted one. This means it is screwed into the desired area and requires tools. Even so, they are simple to install. They are extremely well built and durable, made from mostly wood or stainless steel. These are good for more powerful dogs because they cannot be overturned. Some models even feature a swinging door to allow you to pass through easily.
Pressure-mounted gates do not require any tools to install. They simply rely on pressure against the wall or frame of a door. As these can be unstable and tip over, they should not be used at the tops of stairs. They are usually made of wood and wire, and are very useful because they are portable and simply rely on compression.
Barriers for stairways in your house or on your deck are also available. Make sure these are always hardware-mounted, as a pressure-mounted gate can fall over. There should never be a fixed bar at the bottom of the device. It can be a tripping hazard and very dangerous around stairs. Finally, you should make sure there is a mechanism to keep the door from swinging out and over the stairway.
Pet barriers are also available for your car. They are very useful in keeping your pet in one section of the car and away from your lap and feet. It also cuts down on the distraction of your dog running around the back of the vehicle. Your passengers will also notice an absence of pet hair in the front seat as well! These gates are secure, require no tools to install, and fit most vehicles.
Be aware of a few things before you purchase your pet gate. Stronger and taller breeds will require a hardware-focused fence to be safe and effective. If you have a dog that likes to chew on everything, be sure to find a stainless steel model. Swinging units can be found for those who find stepping over a gate annoying or physically difficult.
There are many styles, uses, and designs of pet gate. When you go shopping, keep in mind your dog's size and personality and your purpose in using it. Dog barriers are available at a variety of pet stores and even online. - 20511
