I have an entryway and everytime the doorbell rings the dogs ALL think it is for THEM.. So since I have 3 xpens and don't use them at home, I open one all the way out and use it as a gate to seperate the dogs from the front door. I just step over it or can actually fit one end right up against the stairway and the dogs can't puch it open and I can just swing it opened to get thru myself. |
