I can see how that could happen, however, one of the first commands that she learned, in addition to "no" was "sit" and "stay". So, if we decide the game is over before Toto does ... we just stop her in her tracks with a command!
Works really well. She is toooo cute when you give the "sit" command, regardless of what she is doing, her little butt hits the floor!!
Also, the "stay" command works really well when they want to run out the door. We tell her to stay and she won't step over the threshhold.
