Thanks to the roommate feeling like it is "not reasonable" to expect her to do her dishes (yes, that is an issue for another thread, and yes, she will no longer be our roommate in a couple of months), we need to get a pet gate to keep Leo out of the kitchen, as he's figured out that there's food on counters. We'll think about confining him to a room or crating him if this doesn't work, but him licking her dirty dishes, and then breaking them and other things that happen to be on the counter, is the only issue. He's housetrained, doesn't chew, doesn't get into any other trouble. So this is a long-term-if-it-works-but-maybe-short-term fix.

Our kitchen entrance is slightly weird. So we need a gate that will fit a an opening that is 33.5 inches tall by 35 inch opening. I want it to be as tall as possible, but it can't go over. It's also a rental, so we can't screw anything into the wall. 

Leo is about 45 pounds and about 25 inches tall. He's a border collie mix, but not whip-smart like most bcs, and fairly lazy. 

So far my research has brought up a couple of things, but its hard to tell if they will work for a dog that's not small. Wanted to know if anyone had good experiences with a certain gate. Would also prefer on the cheaper side.
