This gate looks awesome and I love the fact that it is easily moveable and does not mar the walls. However, my little 15 lbs non-athletic pug was able to easily move this to the side and get through it. The pugs are not jumpers so they have not hurdled over it, but they can push it to the side and escape. I would not trust this gate when leaving them home alone. It would be fine if you are in the house and just need to keep the dogs secure for some reason or another. I would not recommend this gate unless you have a itty bitty dog that is not intent on getting out.
