Elyse Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Read here so you're up to speed, if you don't know about Suka's problem already: http://www.husky-owners.com/forum/threads/sudden-arthritis-flare-up-yelping.40360/ The vet suggested to get a 'baby gate' for the stairs...she doesn't want him to go bounding up and down the stairs for at least a month. The last time this kind of thing happened (last year in the summer, actually!), we bought a baby gate but he ended up jumping over it! Do you guys have any other suggestions for a baby gate?

Chip Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 The only thing I can think of is perhaps a baby gate with a curtain put up behind it as a visual deterrent, so you'd end up with something like this Haven't tried it myself so not sure if it would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow01 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 In my house we use a full height metal garden gate. Eactly the same really as a baby gate but taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are pressure fit then there will be a bar across the bottom, so putting one above another will mean there is a horizontal bar at around your waist / chest height (ish - depending on your height!) so you could fit one above the other with the upper one upside down? Then the upper one's horizontal bar would be more like head height (ish - again). Or check out the taller stair gates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I think my Dad has a huge piece of plywood that is pretty tall and that should fit, so I'll see if I can convince him to lug it up from the basement. If it works, I'll post pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
