Out and About with your Dog

Dog Gates

Search Our Site

We have found indoor dog gates for the house to be very useful and currently have three in use: two extra tall pet gates (Lindam Easy Fit Dog Control Gate) on either side of the kitchen (it's open plan with doors removed) and one on the bedroom.

The great thing about having them is that there are inevitably times when either you need a bit of privacy or it's just unsafe or too chaotic to have the dogs in the same space as yourself.

Typical times when you may benefit from having one are when you:

  • have a very muddy dog who needs to dry off before coming into the rest of the house


  • come home with bags and bags of shopping (mmm, fresh chicken - delicious!)


  • have friends over who are nervous around dogs


  • need to sort out papers or simply tidy up


  • have a baby or toddler playing on the floor and want some 1:1 time with the child


    • When buying your pet gate consider:

    • the height of your dog and therefore the height of the gate. We bought a baby gate to begin with, and Jessie simply jumped over it. I think she thought we were kindly providing an extra bit of indoor aerobic exercise for her :)


    • whether you want to screw the gate to the wall or have an easy fit design that you simply tighten against the wall (pressure mounted)


    • what the gate is made of. We have metal ones coated in white plastic. They've all been chewed a bit but not as much as if they were made of wood

    Lindam Easy Fit Dog Control Gate

    We use the Lindam Easy Fit Dog Control Gate but I have a feeling they are only available in the UK.

    This is a pressure mounted pet gate so there is no need for drilling as well as being 92 cm so one of the taller pet gates around.

    This has definitely been the most successful gate we've had - the others being too small and therefore easy to jump over.

    The Savic Dog Gate is one of the extra tall pet gates at 107cm tall. No more jumping games for your Collie!

    Wooden Dog Gates

    wooden dog gate from orvis

    Both Orvis.com and Orvis.co.uk offer wooden dog gates. These are
    • extra wide pet gates

    • free standing pet gates

    • very attractive for the house



    P.S.
    If your dog is creating a lot of noise and is difficult around the house, putting him behind a gate is not fair and should definitely not be used as a punishment. Perhaps if this is the case, your dog may need more exercise than what you're giving? Remember, dogs need to get out and about and have their energy channelled in a positive way.
