Hello folks… I have a 6 y.o. black lab & bloodhound mix. He’s a GREAT dog…def the best dog I’ve ever had! He’s great with kids and people in general. BUT there’s 1 problem…
The problem, which just started recently in the past month or so, is that he gets into the trash and scatters it EVERYWHERE in the kitchen.
Here’s a little background:
He’s such a great dog when I’m home which is pretty much all the time other than when I’m working so he’s home alone for about 12 hours per day. He’s been on this same schedule for almost 2 years and I’ve NEVER had this or any other problems with him. He’s just a real chilled out dog! There was 1 time about a year ago when I left a plate on the kitchen counter and he got "stood up" on his 2 hind legs and punished it…gone before I could count to 3. So I decided to buy baby gates and put them up to block the 2 entrances to my kitchen. Everything was great until about a month ago when he broke down the baby gate and got in and ate all kinds of stuff that was in the trash. The trashcan is a taller one WITH A LID. What he does is knocks it over and it’s history…TRASH EVERYWHERE!!! I figured the gates would be good enough but obviously they’re not. He weighs 114 lbs and I guess goes through them with ease when he wants to.
I had just taken the trash out lsat night so the only things in there were some paper towels and other random garbage BUT NO FOOD! I bought 2 diff kinds of repellent and have tried both with no success. I sprayed the inside of the can as well as the inside of the trash bag hoping it would keep him away.
I really don’t want to move the can which would be the obvious solution…there’s pretty much nowhere else to put it. I’ve read about using a smaller can and putting it into a kitchen cabinet with child safety locks but like I said I’d rather not have to move the can or get a new smaller one to put in the cabinet.
My goal with this is to hopefully get some more new ideas of possible solutions…
Things to remember:
He weighs 114 lbs.
When he got into the trash last night there was NOT any food in it.
He breaks down the baby gate I assume pretty easily.
The current trash can is a larger can and has a top that closes.
I’d rather not have to move or get a new trash can…size doesn’t matter he’ll get inside it regardless I think. By moving the trash can I would just be masking his issue…I really just want to make him stop!
I’ve also put hot sauce in the trash bag itself and once again had no luck. It seems like NOTHING will keep him out!
My next move is to buy a crate and stick him in the crate while I’m at work during the day. I’d really rather not do that either.
I also read about somehow putting mouse traps on or around the trash can which is something I have not tried yet because I also have a cat and wouldn’t want that poor guy to caught up in a trap especially when he hasn’t done anything wrong.
Please leave constructive ideas/remedies if you do respond to this. Don’t need people bit$%ing about anything…

I’m basically just hoping to get some new fresh ideas from you guys…!!!

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOLKS!!!

We have tried everything to keep her from climbing over the gate at night. She gets highly distressed when locked in her crate for the entire night so we are keeping her in the kitchen. We got her at 6 months old and she came from a shelter. So far we have not been able to keep her contained except in the bathroom but this is not a long term possibility because in order to do that, we have two baby gates stacked on top of each other to keep her in the bathroom which makes the bathroom unusable when she is in there. We want to keep her in the kitchen. We have the two gates stacked in one doorway but that isn’t possible in the other entry way so we have a three foot sheet of plywood attached to a lower baby gate but she still manages to climb the wood. How can we stop this behavior at night and when we have to be away from home to go to work or even to the store? We are slowly losing our minds!!

The entrance to the dining room is about 10 feet wide (do they have baby gates that big?), and the space between the kitchen and dining room is not set up for a baby gate. It’s hard to explain, but there’s a walk way between the fridge and some built-in shelving, and I’m pretty sure no baby gate could be put there. Maybe, but I doubt it.

I saw this: http://www.babysupermall.com/main/products/kdc/kdc07080.html but it’s pretty pricey. Is this the best option?

I have to buy 2 baby gates this weekend as my daughter is all over the place and our current setup is just not working for out little explorer.

What kind of baby gates have you owned? And did they work well for you and last?
How was the price?
Where is the best place to get baby gates from?

I appreciate the help!
That is exactly why I will Not be buying the wood ones! My girl already is trying to climb up everything – she’s not even a year old yet. I would Prefer to purchase the ones that you have to step on but are unsure of where to find them.

Is there a way to upgrade my baby gate?




I cannot stop him. My 2 yr old son can take both baby gates, one cheap woodened gate, and the second gate being a hard plastic that is stiff again the door frame. But he can still either pull them out or knock them over, ive even put one on top of the other to keep him from running in to the kitchen, but he knows how to take care of that too. Is there any creative idea that could keep him from knocking it down or keeping him where he is allowed to roam, it just seems like having three rooms to play in is not good enough for him, he has to go sneak off and TP the bathroom or set the microwave to 55:55 to cook his cheese slice while we are out in the living room cleaning up his last mess.

Can't find a tall enough baby gate?




I have a cat that is one heck of a jumper! I see these baby gates that are "tall" 39-40 inches, but i don’t think that’s enough, I live in an apartment so i can’t put up a half door or anything like that. Does anyone have any other options? Maybe a safe way to stack two baby gates or something? I am at a loss here.
I have a cat….
and my baby is due in march.
Its not a cat child. Fear not.
My cat isn’t a very good climber, he doesn’t have claws lol
