Have a 12 yr old 65lb golden retriever, lab mix who doesnt know shes old and who insists on taking dishes(knives, pans) out of my sink if Im not around. This provides enough room where she doesnt feel caged, and is tall enough where she loses interest to escape or move it. (Its only been a week, but for her thats long enough to push limits.) Would recommend to anyone. Portability is a plus as well.
