The #1 Tool for Puppy Toilet Training — Recommended by Pet Trainers
When it comes to training a new puppy to toilet in the right spot, pet trainers consistently recommend one thing: define the space clearly and keep it consistent. The 3 in 1 Playpen is the tool that makes this possible. Six panels connect through rotating pivot joints that allow owners to shape the enclosure into any configuration they need—hexagonal, rectangular, L-shaped, or flat as a straight barrier—then lock firmly into position. One panel features a built-in walk-through gate with a manual self-closing system for safe, convenient daily access. Wall mount hardware is included, so the two ends can be fixed to a wall to create a fully secured barrier across any opening up to 370 cm (145.7") wide. Optional extension panels are available for owners who need a larger enclosed area as their puppy grows. For retailers building a puppy starter assortment, PL16 is the kind of versatile, trainer-endorsed product that sells itself through word of mouth and repeat recommendation.
Recommended by Pet Trainers — The Smarter Way to Toilet Train
Pet trainers widely recommend the 3 in 1 Playpen as one of the most effective tools for establishing a puppy's toilet habits early. By defining a clear, consistent space with the playpen, owners create the physical boundaries that support positive toilet training—the puppy learns where its designated area is, and the enclosed zone reinforces that routine day after day. The flexible shape means owners can size and configure the space to match their training layout exactly, whether that is a compact zone in a bathroom corner or a larger training area in a utility room. For retailers, trainer endorsement is one of the most powerful purchase drivers in the new pet owner segment—and PL16 carries it authentically.
Any Shape, Any Space — Rotating Pivot Joints
Every connection point between panels features a rotating pivot joint that loosens to allow free angular adjustment, then tightens to lock the chosen configuration firmly in place. This means owners are not limited to a fixed hexagonal or rectangular shape—the six panels can be arranged into virtually any form that suits the space: a wide hexagon for open rooms, a compact rectangle for corridor corners, an L-shape to block off a specific area, or a fully straight barrier spanning a doorway or hallway opening. Once the desired shape is set, all joints are tightened and the structure holds securely. Reconfiguring for a different room or purpose takes only minutes. For B2B buyers, this adaptability is a meaningful product differentiator that addresses a wide variety of customer living situations within a single SKU.
Three Products in One — Playpen, Barrier, and Wall-Mounted Gate
The 3 in 1 Playpen adapts across three distinct use cases without any additional purchase. As a freestanding playpen, the six panels form an enclosed personal territory for the dog. As a room divider or barrier, the panels extend flat or into a gentle curve to block off areas such as staircases, fireplaces, or kitchen entrances. As a wall-mounted barrier, the included wall mount hardware allows both ends of the panel run to be fixed to a wall, creating a fully secured gate that spans openings up to 370 cm (145.7") wide from the inside, or 344 cm (135.4") wide from the outside. This three-in-one functionality significantly expands the product's useful lifespan within the household—as the puppy matures and the need for a full playpen diminishes, the same product continues to serve as a barrier or gate in a different area of the home.
Built-In Walk-Through Gate — Self-Closing for Added Safety
One of the six panels is fitted with a walk-through gate that allows owners to enter and exit the enclosed area without stepping over panels or dismantling any part of the structure. The gate features a manual self-closing system that automatically returns the gate to the closed position after each use—eliminating the risk of accidentally leaving it open. Combined with the double locking mechanism, the gate maintains the same containment security as the fixed panels even during frequent daily access. For owners who interact with their dog multiple times throughout the day for feeding, training, or play, this self-closing gate is a practical safety feature that works quietly in the background.
Double Locking — Secure Against Persistent Dogs
Each panel connection and the gate latch features a double locking mechanism that requires a deliberate two-step action to release. A single latch can be nudged open by a determined dog; the double locking system is designed to resist exactly that. This added security layer is especially relevant during the puppy training period, when dogs are still learning boundaries and may test the enclosure regularly. For B2B buyers, the double locking feature is a clear, communicable safety differentiator that is straightforward to demonstrate at the point of sale and builds confidence in the product's reliability.
Wall Mounts Included — Fix Both Ends for Maximum Security
Wall mount hardware is included in the box, allowing owners to fix both ends of the panel run to a wall when using the product as a barrier or gate. This transforms the freestanding configuration into a fully anchored barrier that cannot be pushed aside or bypassed from either end—critical for blocking staircases, protecting areas around fireplaces, or securing room entrances where a freestanding barrier alone would not be sufficient. The wall mount system spans openings up to 370 cm (145.7") wide when mounted inside the wall, and up to 344 cm (135.4") wide when mounted on the outside. For households where specific areas must be reliably off-limits, this wall-mounted configuration delivers a level of security that no freestanding pen can match.
Tool-Free Assembly — Collapses Flat for Easy Storage
The 3 in 1 Playpen assembles and reconfigures entirely without tools. The pivot joints loosen and tighten by hand, and the panels connect and disconnect quickly without any fasteners or hardware. When not in use, the entire structure folds flat for compact storage—practical for households where floor space is limited or where the pen is only needed during specific periods of the day. The same ease of disassembly makes cleaning straightforward. For distribution partners, the tool-free design reduces packaging complexity and minimises after-sales support requirements, while the flat-pack storage profile keeps the product practical long after the initial purchase.
Expand as Needed — Optional Extension Panels
For owners who need a larger enclosed area, optional extension panels attach using the same pivot joint system, increasing the total enclosure size without replacing the core unit. This modular expandability makes PL16 a long-term investment—owners start with the six-panel base configuration and add panels as the dog grows or as their space requirements evolve. For retailers, extension panels represent a natural add-on purchase that increases average transaction value and keeps customers returning to the same product ecosystem. Merchandising extension panels alongside the core unit is a straightforward upsell path that serves customers across the full ownership journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do pet trainers recommend this playpen for toilet training?
A: Pet trainers recommend the 3 in 1 Playpen because defining a clear, consistent space is one of the most effective foundations for puppy toilet training. The enclosed zone gives the puppy a defined territory, which supports the routine-building that toilet training depends on. The flexible shape allows owners to configure the pen precisely around the toilet training area, and the self-closing gate means the space stays secure even during frequent daily access for cleaning or interaction.
Q: How do the rotating pivot joints work?
A: Each connection point between panels features a pivot joint that can be loosened by hand to allow free angular adjustment between panels. Once the desired shape and angle is set, the joint is tightened by hand to lock the configuration firmly in place. No tools are required at any stage. This system allows the enclosure to be shaped into hexagons, rectangles, L-shapes, straight barrier runs, or any custom form that suits the space.
Q: What are the three uses of this playpen?
A: The 3 in 1 Playpen functions as: a freestanding enclosed playpen for dogs, a freestanding room divider or barrier for blocking off staircases, fireplaces, or room entrances, and a wall-mounted barrier with both ends fixed to a wall using the included wall mount hardware. All three uses are supported by the same six-panel system without any additional purchase required beyond the optional extension panels for larger configurations.
Q: How wide can the barrier configuration span?
A: When used as a wall-mounted barrier with both ends fixed to the wall, the panel run spans up to 370 cm (145.7") when mounted on the inside of the wall, and up to 344 cm (135.4") when mounted on the outside. This makes it suitable for blocking large room openings, wide hallways, and open-plan living areas where standard pet gates would not reach.
Q: Is the wall mount hardware included?
A: Yes. Wall mount hardware is included in the box and is required when using the product as a fixed wall-to-wall barrier. The mounts secure both ends of the panel run to the wall, preventing the barrier from being pushed aside. For freestanding playpen or barrier use, the wall mounts are not required.
Q: How does the self-closing gate work?
A: The walk-through gate panel features a manual self-closing system that automatically returns the gate to the closed position after each use. This eliminates the risk of accidentally leaving the gate open during busy daily routines. The gate is secured by a double locking mechanism that requires a deliberate two-step action to open, providing reliable containment even with an active dog inside.
Q: Can extension panels be added to make the enclosure larger?
A: Yes. Optional extension panels attach using the same pivot joint system as the core panels, increasing the total enclosure size without replacing any existing components. Extension panels are particularly useful as puppies grow and require more space, or when owners want to expand the playpen into a larger training or living zone within the home.
Q: Does assembly require any tools?
A: No tools are required. All pivot joints loosen and tighten by hand, and panels connect and disconnect without fasteners or hardware. The entire structure can be assembled, reconfigured, and disassembled by hand in minutes, making it practical for owners who want to adapt the setup between rooms or store the unit flat when not in use.
Q: What configurations can the six panels form?
A: The six panels can be shaped into a hexagon (diameter 120 cm / 47.2"), a rectangle (100 × 122 cm / 39.4" × 48.0" or 83 cm / 32.7" compact), a straight barrier, an L-shape, or any custom angular configuration that fits the available space. The rotating pivot joints allow free adjustment between panels before locking into the chosen form.
