I'm trying to figure out if this would be strong enough for my dog, who is 100 lbs and pretty strong, but doesn't jump. If not this, any suggestions?

Honestly, I don't know about the strength capability for an animal that size BUT the cap that the fence goes into can be screwed into the wall/ frame so you will have added protection. I think you will be fine with this gate otherwise you can try welding steel together to make a mega gate! :0)

I don't have a dog this large, but I think it would work for you, because the gate comes with four cups that you screw into your door jam that helps to hold it in place. It's pretty sturdy with those on.

I have used this gate for years and I'm getting ready to buy another. If you mount the gate to the entry or door frame using the "cups" that hold the expander knobs, it is very sturdy. I had two 70 pound dogs that used to bump the gate and stand with front feet on it frequently and I had no problems with it staying secure.

If the dog doesn't jump on the gate it should work. Definitely mount to the door frame, it comes with the supplies. If you don't put the screws in the wall then anything that pushes up against it will knock it down.

Read my review. in order to secure this gate so it cannot br knocked down, you can't open it. My 2 year ol knocked it down. This gate would fail unless you never need to open it and just need a wall you can see through. If it's not a large dog that climbs I recommend a Summer brand gate that's regular height.

The metal parts are very strong but I used suction cups to attach it to the door since I was just trying to keep a cat in. This would not be secure enough for your dog. If you screwed the ends of the gate into the wood in the door frame it would be quite sturdy.

I placed the gate against the trim where the door would be if it were shut so that it couldn't be knocked out of place by my 25 pound cat who jumps to try to escape. It worked great. Without the trim though I'm sure he would have knocked it over.

I have a 75lb lab mix on this and it's fine. He doesn't pull much though. I think if your dog is going to be pulling it a lot it won't hold him.

My dog has jumped up on ours and she is 60lbs, and it didn't budge. We also screwed it into the window sill.

Hi MH, There are a few things to consider. Is your dog strong enough to pull you out of the chair. If so, I wouldn't recommend this. Or is the dog capable of controlling your chair speed and possibly endangering you? If the dog is smaller and not one to pull then I think this is an excellent choice! The length of the leash is adjustable and could be used in a chair. I just wouldn't want you hurt. It does take core strength with a pulling dog like mine. Let us know how it goes!

I tried using it indoors with my 6 lb. miniature dachshund, and he could easily knock it over. However, it works fine outside, with the stakes anchoring it. Your dog, being much bigger and stronger, may need something more rigid.

It's pretty strong. Although our dog is only 75 lbs, I think it would hold a much heavier animal.

Mine isn't strong enough either. I waited too long to return it. I went and bought a real good one from a Dog Trainer. It has 120 levels plus vibrate only and works great. It was about $260 but well worth it. I have a 1 1/2 year old German shepherd @ 90 lbs.

Kelly I don't know how high your cab is, but as for handling the weight, my dog is a 90-lb. lab mix and it supports him beautifully. I had to "ease" him up it the first time - he was a little nervous, but once he went up (treats at the top :)) he took to it and has no problem with using it at all.

Let me preface I am no dog trainer or expert. I use it on a 28 pound beagle and never used it over the 4 setting with great results. I have tested all 8 setting on my leg and ultimately I think even the 1 setting would be too strong for a 12 pound dog. I know that at a local retailer they wouldn't sell it to a lady with a 15 pound dog...

I have Golder Ret (85 lbs) and the fabric couldn't hold him. The rip happened in the fabric not the switches. So the fabric is not designed for large dogs. If your dog is 100lbs then this is not for you

I have a lab pointer mix, and she is on the smaller side so about 40 lbs, and I have two of these, the first one broke by swerving and the second by her standing up, its an iten you shouldn't even take for free. Sorry, my simple answer, NO, don't buy it

I think so, but to be honest my dog is only twenty pounds. It's certainly easier on them than conventional stairs. Also, it does state that it will support dogs up to 100 pounds so I believe it would be fine. The one thing I recommend is that you either put it between a wall and the bed or something like that to stabilize it and make it more secure for the dog. My dog loves it but refused to use it at first. I put her on a leash and led her up it and then (after a cookie) led her down on the leash.

You may get a few uses out of it, but I personally don't think it's sturdy enough for a larger dog. The back legs on the steps snap into place and are not meant to fold in and out regularly--which would mean the plastic snaps will eventually break. Plus, the back legs are thin. Very thin. I'm about 115 lbs. and I would NOT!!! go up and down on it myself.

I am not sure if the steps are good for your dog or not. My dog is a small German Shepherd who can no longer jump into our vehicle. She weighs about 55 lbs. which is below what the steps are rated at. The snap together design of the steps did not hold together when she would run up them. Maybe if I had glued it together but I did not. All I can say is to use your own judgment. I did not like how it went together.

Yes, it is very good for small dogs, my dog is now 16 pounds and he is a very hyper dog... he manages to move it when he wants to get out so if your dog likes to jump a lot this will not hold as much, but overall it keeps him in there. He is a chewer too but has not been able to rip anything apart, also the bottom is washable so that's helpful but I don't really use it. Hope this helped!

Like the others, I am also unsure of the weight limit but it's no problem for an 80lb German Shepherd. It kind of dips in the center (slightly) when she is on it, but I think that's what it's supposed to do to absorb her weight. It bounces right back once she's off of it. It's a really nice bed and does seem strong, but the large size would not be big enough for a 200lb Great Dane.

I have a 80 lb lab that I use my cycleash with. He is not a strong puller, and does quite well. I think the bottom line is that if your dog is a strong puller and not leash trained, NO product is going to "hold up to him". He will drag your bike around, especially if you're using a harness.With that said, I fee the "pull" from the dog more at low speed than high speed. The leash portion seems pretty sturdy/thick. Overall, I've been really happy with it.
