A wood dog gate stays in place with different mechanisms such as rubber feet, pressure-mounted springs, or wall-mounted attachments. A freestanding gate is a good option if you have a smaller dog, such as a terrier, pomeranian, chihuahua, or dachshund. These gates stay put with rubber feet to prevent slipping and keep these small dogs out of unwanted spaces with no installation, making them ideal for rental homes.
For larger dogs, try a gate with pressure-mounted springs. These gates have a dog door in the middle that can be opened and closed with a locking mechanism, so you don’t have to move the entire gate when it’s time to let in your pup.
For the most secure and permanent dog gate, try a wall-mounted option attached to the wall with a bracket and screws. This gate doesn’t move and works with larger dog breeds that might knock over the other gates.
