Ours aren't retractable (haven't seen these?) but yes, having one at the bottom of the stairs would certainly stop dogs. I don't mind guests taking dogs but I never allow them in bedrooms (white bedding and dog hairs do not a happy marriage make )tchn wrote:we have a top gate that is retractable so is always in place. We used to fit the bottom gate when kids were coming, but we now just leave it attached. Most of our guests have dogs,and it helps to reinforce the message that dogs are not welcome upstairs. No-one has complained about this approach.

Hi,
We have a Lascal Kiddyguard Accent at the top of the stairs

and a Babydan Guard Me at the bottom (new since my last post)

I've been very happy with both. We have the Babydan at the bottom as I wouldn't fancy the chances of the fabric Lascal against dogs' claws (which we only allow downstairs).

We've also got a retractable stairgate at the top - can't recommend these enough. We offer a pressure-fitting stairgate at the bottom but leave guests to put this up if they so wish. It's a Victorian staircase and is narrower than usual so don't want to leave it up all the time as could be irritating to non-baby guests. Would love to have a retractable at the bottom but also scared of it being scratched by dogs.
Just seen the title of this topic and was expecting to read something about Bill and Belinda's new offspring
