A movable partition is usable with an animal kennel to change the size of the reposable region of the kennel within which an animal can be disposed during the animal's period of growth. The reposable region is situated between the kennel door and the movable partition. The movable partition is mountable to ventilation openings formed in the animal kennel and is movable among a variety of distances from the kennel door to change the size of the reposable region within the kennel in order to properly train the animal and to avoid the animal relieving itself within the kennel. The partition includes a barrier element and a number of mounting elements that are mountable to the ventilation openings of the kennel. The movable partition further includes a number of clip apparatuses that are cooperable with the mounting elements to retain the mounting elements mounted to the ventilation openings.

A door assembly includes a frame having interconnected wires that define an opening for an animal to pass therethrough, and a door having interconnected wires and being coupled to the frame. A latch assembly has a handle structure and a pin. The handle structure is pivotable with respect to one of the door and the frame, and the pin is movable axially with respect to one of the door and the frame. A first wire of the plurality of wires of the frame forms a key hole assembly. The key hole assembly defines an aperture for receiving the pin when the door is in a latched position with respect to the frame. A tab assembly is formed by at least one wire of the door and is disposable behind at least one of the plurality of wires of the frame in the closed position.

An animal enclosure including a plurality of members defining an interior of the enclosure. One of the plurality of members includes a first member having a frame structure and door assembly formed by a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires. At least two of the horizontal wires of the frame structure form a hook positioned inside the defined opening. The door assembly is coupled to the frame and moves between open and closed positions. The door assembly includes a first door and a second door removably coupled to one another. The enclosure also includes a latch assembly for releasing the door assembly from the frame structure. In the closed position, at least one horizontal wire of the first door and at least one horizontal wire of the second door are coupled to the hooks formed by the at least two horizontal wires of the frame structure.

A pet enclosure that is coupleable to a wall structure of a home adjacent to a window, where the window provides a first access point to a pet can include a frame structure coupled to the wall structure of the home, the frame structure having an opening which is located adjacent to the window, the frame structure including a second access point; and a corbel assembly coupled to the frame structure and the wall structure of the home. Related methods are also provided.

A pet container comprising a container base and a container lid. The container lid includes a pivoting lid portion that can be used to teach pets to use the pet container.

A roof that comprises a flexible, sun and rain resistant sheet constructed such that when suspended and extended to form the roof, design-integrated rain valleys are formed that channel water to and off the outside edges of the roof.

Systems and methods are disclosed for animal containment systems configured to reduce stress, fear, and anxiety experienced by animals being held in animal containment structures by utilizing light filters in the form of orthogonally orientated light-polarization on the front walls of the animal containment structures to control the viewpoints from within and without the animal containment structures, thereby configuring the system to control the animals sight lines, such as allowing the animals to see out of their respective containment structure, but restricting their viewpoint into any other containment structure.

A collapsible kennel assembly including a plurality of individual and pivotally inter-connected panels, a selected one of the panels adapted to being affixed to a wall and so that the panels are inter-collapsed in succession along first and second sides between an expanded use configuration and a folded storage configuration. Additional features include at least one interior subdividing panel, as well as upper and lower individual pairs of hinges inter-connecting each of the panels. Each of the pairs of hinges including top and bottom hinge components, a circular cross section pin extending from a first hinge component and seating within a recess in the other component for providing swiveling support.

The collapsible pet pen comprises a screen that may be deployed from within a cannister container and supported by a plurality of support poles. The cannister container and the screen may form a portable fence to confine a pet. Each of the plurality of support poles may comprise a pole body and a pole base. The pole base may be a ground base comprising a stake to push into the ground or a deck base that may be coupled to a deck or other flat surface. The cannister container and the leading edge of the screen may couple to a wall of a building using one or more wall coupler strips. The screen and the plurality of pole may couple to each other via a plurality of screen support fasteners dispersed at equal intervals along the screen and pole support fasteners found on each pole body.

A pen for an animal, such as a dog, includes a plurality of walls and a frame. The plurality of walls can extend substantially vertically. The walls can include one or more wall panels. The wall panels can be transparent or highly translucent. The panels can be held in place at least in part by the frame, which can include a plurality of frame members and a plurality of connectors. The pen can include a door. A top frame member at the door can be movable to allow a person to freely enter and exit the space enclosed by the pen. The pen can provide confinement for an animal in a safe and aesthetically-pleasing manner. The pen can maximize an owner's ability to see his or her pet. The pen can provide the animal with clear visibility of its surroundings or owner, creating a lower stress environment for the pet.
