"This was just what I needed for keeping my dog the ability to be outside with us but not always on top of us. Thanks"

— Lori

"Don't waste your money. It does not slide. After putting it up. I tried to slide it. It wouldn't slide at all. I thought the line wasn't tight enough, my hubby tried it tighter still did not work. Thought I did something wrong even though it basically easy. I did not. It just doesn't move."
