I have morkie and he is tough for a little 8 pound dog. Anyway, he scratches and chews at the molding when I leave, now can he get behind this?

He can figure it out... just goes under the Clawguard if he's really determined.

This only lasted a day with my Chihuahua terrier, and he is 11.6 pounds. He ripped it right off the door and he too scratches and bites the door. So when we are not home he is now in a crate. I don't recommend this product, it doesn't work.

Yes, it goes to the floor. If that is what you are meaning. It is basically a piece of plastic maybe 3 - 4 feet tall and 2 - 3 feet wide. There is a slit in the top that fits over the doorknob so it protects the door and surrounding area from scratching. I think it works great!

It with a Velcro which allows you to attach it to the door so it locks to it. So far, it works great for me.

Hi Dawn! Good question. The Clawguard was designed to protect doors from damage caused by pets. The Clawguard works great if your pet claws at the door. In some cases, the Clawguard is no match for some pets that think it's a new chew toy! :) With that said, some pets don't know what it is and avoids the door altogether. Check out the reviews. Give it a try!

I have a 3.4lb yorkshire terrier and she hasn't been able to squeeze through. She's not overly adventurous though. If your little guy is pretty adventurous, then I would be worried about him trying to squish through, but in general I think it is fine for our tiny little ones.

no it wont... i have a jack russel/pug mix and hes only 13lbs and i had to get a medium for him. it works great and i love them for my dogs.. especially when we are away for a little while i dont have to worry about them marking in the house... after a while they learn to not do it at all and then you mite not have to use it on your dog. i have to every now and then remind them if they do mark in the house that they will have to wear it... mine tend to not like to wear it so after a day or 2 of having to wear it again they stop marking... just a little reminder to them as to what happens if you do mark in the house what happens..

I would think so. I only have the medium, but it's likely. Lab would have to be somewhat calm, if your dog's too strong, may be able to create a tear along a seam.

I bought it for my morkie.. That should answer your question.. Honestly? If they are grown.. They should be out of a crate unless you are transporting them.

The sides are pretty sturdy, and will probably stand up to a little chewing, though not an all out assault. You might want to try to keep the puppy from getting hold of the drain plug on the side. If that got chewed up it would be a real problem.

Probably not puppy proof if you have a chewer. It has plastic covered mesh for doors and windows. We got it for our 85 lb. huskita and she has not ever chewed on it but she is pretty mellow and 4 yrs. old. I love this kennel.

I would say yes if you have a well mannered Husky but if he/she would pull at all to something then you might be in trouble. I have a Heeler and he pulled once and it actually came loose, not off but enough that he got at what he wanted! so consider his behavior

HiI tried this for my adult Yorkie/Jack Russell, he refused. I don't think it is a matter of size, but a matter of habit. My little guy, approx 7 kilos simply refuses to go inside no matter what.

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.

I have a scottish terrier puppy and he did get under it. I placed bricks around the inside parameter and that worked like a charm. Very nice kennel and easy to move. I just wish I could find a replacement cover...just in case mine ever tears.

I have a 12lb Peke/pug mix. She's pretty crazy when she runs up the stairs, and often manages to budge them a bit. It's never stopped her, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone whose dog would be deterred by a little skidding.

I have a dog, but the mesh is very sturdy, but over enough time it might break down under constant scratching. The cool thing about the bed lining is you can unzip and wash or replace it

If the dog is really strong and sharp nails, They might be able to rip thru the screen sides. It seems pretty tough for small dogs. My adult yorkie(10 lbs) didn't like it at first & tried to scratch his way out but could not damage the screen sides.

I can't imagine what to do! My pug has loved it from the beginning. We had to replace it several times because it's torn up. She takes all her toys in there and hides things she's not supposed to have in there. Maybe just give him time and he'll get used to it...?

Might be tight. Our 80 lb. + Saluki/Borzoi (chest width 8 in.) goes through it carefully. Our smaller Salukis go through it full blast and we've replaced it 3 times over 9 years.

Yes! I have a weimaraner who loves to tear apart any toy he has. He loves hard runbery things and this is his favorite toy. We have replaced ours once... because he lost it in the back yard. He had it for over 6 months and hadn't put a dent with it. If your dog does manage to tear this toy apart, the company will replace it for life for free.
