A Bulldog playpen is Essential!

It’s perfect for anyone who can’t spend their whole day watching a puppy but doesn’t want to leave them in a crate. We use ours for potty training, and to contain a puppy without restricting them to their crates.

For inside

Inside the house, it’s a play space. One of the best ways to create a safe place is to use a play pen when distractions could come about. Make sure the pen is somewhere where they are out of the way, but you can still see them. To make sure they don’t get bored while they are in the pen, give them an assortment of toys to play with.

We use ours for cooking, cleaning, and eating dinner. We also find that it works well for people who work from home, and need to be able to watch the puppy without getting distracted.

For outside

We believe a puppy play yard outside is wonderful for potty training. It reduces potential distractions by limiting the amount of space they have to wander. We recommend standing a little ways away from the play yard while your puppy goes potty.  This tactic ensures your bulldog puppy will not become distracted.

Picking a play yard

We believe there are two main criteria for finding a play yard. It needs to be good enough quality that it won’t fall apart, and easy to fold up when you’re not using it. 

Just like the crate, try to remember that the play yard is not the place your puppy lives. Your puppy should have chances to play and spend time with you throughout the day.
