This is the worst gate to purchase for a pet (or even a tiny human, for that matter). It’s flimsy, it falls over at the drop of a hat. It’s also tiny, which is my mistake for not checking measurements. I would definitely not recommend this for people who have large dogs or rowdy puppies. It 
will not hold anything back, that has any force. Maybe would work for a teacup sized dog, but I’m not certain on that, as this thing is just that lightweight, cheap, and flimsy.
