Is there a way to fasten the dog inside so that she doesn't jump out when the top is open?

My pup chewed the zipper, rendering this bag useless, soon after I purchased it! Total loss. I think the answer is NO

No, there is not. But It has a mesh curtain that zips closed so your dog is secured.

Thanks for the information. I don't think she'd be able to get into it, since it looks like you need to get a grip on the indentations that make the 'handle' of the lid. The container she got into previously had a latch that had a good place for her to grip with paw and claws.

Not at all. My 75lbs Golden Retriever does try to force it. After awhile, she waits for the 'click' before she even tries it. When closes, it lowers on a groove all the way around. Seems very secure, and somewhat weather tight. This door is awesome.

Yes. There is a slider that can be inserted which can be used to keep the dog in and out, and it will also stop people from crawling in when you are away.

The top does close with a mesh like the surrounding sides and closes with a zipper. But if your dog is a jumper like mine is (toy poodle), she started figuring out that you can get out the top and would jump, stratch, and bite to try and get out (even though she never got out). So the zipper stopped working after a while which meant I had to either buy another or have an opened play pen. I bought a new one and the same thing happened, so I just bought a big cage for her instead.

You can, but you would have to attach it with something or the puppy could push it out from the wall and escape!

Yea, not so much. My dog just puts her head in the hole and flips the entire top off. I drilled through the plastic and crated latches (that are a pain for ME to use when cleaning the litter box),and my dog broke the top while trying to shove her entire body into the little cat hole. the only solution I have found is to make a custom wooden box with a maze entrance (which one of my cats hated), and to have a litterbox in a dog-proofed area of the house.

Yes but an easy fix is to put a thick piece of plywood in the bottom which cans be dropped in since the top opens. My dog is an escape artist so we chain the gate with td top as she can open all the locks

No, you could probably improvise something. My dog is older and doesn't try to get out.

No. That would be a danger in pinning the pet between the door and the frame so it doesn't. You would probably need some other product to keep that pet away from the door.

I have an 8 yr old Shih tzu that can go in & out with no problem. I also had a bigger dog, so the step-over had to be higher, but still my Shih Tzi jumps right through it, no problem. My shih tzu is younger than your little guy, so I'm not sure how he'd do with the stepover. My Mom's little Pekingese has shorter legs & refuses to use it, so I have to leave my slider open slightly if we leave. So it's just gonna depend on how agile your cocker is. It's nice, but it was HARD to install. My brother is a builder & he did it for me. It IS a great door tho.

yes a small latch from the inside. If they really want to get in or out I'm not sure how much it would help. t

There is a rigid plastic door cover that will snap onto the inside or outside, depending is you want to keep the animal in the house or outside.

The Door Actually has a Locking Mechanism. The Pet Cannot Escape if the Locking Mechanism is engaged. It's Easy for the Pet Owners to ope from the outside.

Occasionally, keep a butter knife handy to loosen it. Clasp has been most reliable for not getting open like other clasps that have let our dog get loose.

Mine isn't available to me right now....but if I remember correctly I just grabbed the inside bottom (where pet sits)in my palm and pulled up....then it just started to collapse....hope that helps.
